Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for conducting poll-based reviews of various businesses and service providers and searching for the businesses and service providers having at least one review. A search module receives a search inquiry related to one or more reviewees having at least one review from one or more user devices. A filter module determines whether the one or more reviewees is associated with at least one search criteria in the search inquiry in order to identify reviewees that are associated with the received search criteria. Thereafter, the search module populates reviewees meeting the search criteria and displays the reviewees meeting the search criteria in a user interface. A trend analysis module performs a trend analysis for the reviewees meeting the search criteria.

Abstract: Techniques are described for allocating computing resources to customers of a multi-tenant web services platform. Computing capacity capable of running a computing instance is allocated to a customer. The computing capacity includes storage capacity that is disassociated from the allocated computing capacity when the allocated computing capacity is de-allocated from the customer. An indication that a virtual storage resource should be associated with the allocated computing capacity is received. The virtual storage resource is persisted independent of the allocation of the computing capacity to the customer. The storage capacity and the virtual storage resource are configured to synchronize data stored thereon while maintaining the storage capacity as an attached storage volume for the computing instance.

Abstract: Methods and systems described herein may include processing a change data capture stream in parallel and optimizing the write operations contained in the change data capture stream such that the write operations may be written to a change table in parallel. Processing the change data capture stream may include decoding the transaction data contained in the change data capture stream in parallel. After the transaction data in the change data capture stream has been decoded, the transaction data may be analyzed to identify write operations that write to the same row. Write operations that write to the same row may be merged into a single write operation. The merging of write operations may be performed until each write operation writes to a different row. The write operations may then be written to the change table in parallel.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention allow a Source database and a Target database to be compared and merged in such a way that logically relevant data is considered and merged while ignoring irrelevant differences (e.g., object identifiers) and that all dependencies across relational database tables are considered and merged. Some exemplary embodiments are discussed herein with reference to databases such as the Standard Database (SDB) for Intergraph Smart™ Reference Data product from Intergraph Corporation and are referred to generally as the “SDB Merge Tool,” although the disclosed concepts can be applied more generally to other types of databases.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for efficient representation of heterogeneous graphs in memory. In an embodiment, vertices and edges of the graph are segregated by type. Each property of a type of vertex or edge has values stored in a respective vector. Directed or undirected edges of a same type are stored in compressed sparse row (CSR) format. The CSR format is more or less repeated for edge traversal in either forward or reverse direction. An edge map translates edge offsets obtained from traversal in the reverse direction for use with data structures that expect edge offsets in the forward direction. Subsequent filtration and/or traversal by type or property of vertex or edge entails minimal data access and maximal data locality, thereby increasing efficient use of the graph.

Abstract: A method includes acquiring application data for applications. The application data specifies an application category and includes application words that describe the application. The method includes determining, for each application word, a global fraction value that indicates the fraction of applications with the application word, a category fraction value that indicates the fraction of applications in the category with the application word, and a ratio value that indicates the ratio of the category fraction value to the global fraction value. The method includes classifying application words as categorical words when the ratio value is greater than a ratio threshold. The method includes identifying similar applications and setting categorical words as categorical search keywords for applications when the categorical words are in greater than a threshold number of similar applications.
