  • Dynamic document clustering and keyword extraction
    Patent number: 11243990
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses are disclosed to cluster a plurality of documents located in any number of local and/or remote systems and applications. Preprocessed text is generated for each document, and a hash and a feature vector are determined based on the preprocessed text. A set of clusters is retrieved, wherein each cluster is associated with a hash list and a cumulative feature vector. Each of the documents may then be associated with a cluster by comparing the hash of the document to the hash lists of the clusters and/or by determining similarities between the feature vector of the document and the cumulative feature vectors of the clusters.

  • Asynchronous propagation of database events
    Patent number: 11243979
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing database updates in an environment in which data parity is to be maintained between multiple databases. Notifications regarding database events, such as data update operations that occur in a particular database, may be generated so that other databases and systems can perform corresponding data update operations. The notifications may be generated, consumed, and acted upon asynchronously with respect to each other. Such asynchronous propagation of database events provides improved performance and increased reliability over synchronous propagation.

  • System and method for managing media advertising enterprise data
    Patent number: 11244325
    Abstract: A system and method for managing media advertising enterprise data. An enterprise data management (EDM) module can be configured to include a set of rules at an enterprise level to manage disparate and disconnected records. A scoring function with respect to each record can be computed based on the rules to determine the highest priority. The rules in association with the scoring function can be stored locally in an EDM database. A matching process can then be performed to accurately match similar records regardless of manual input, location, and format of the records in a distributed system. Each record can then be assigned with a parent enterprise advertiser. Such an optimization mechanism can interactively manage and report records at the enterprise level in a simple and efficient manner.

  • Software-defined data center (SDDC) rack quick discovery after hardware management system (HMS) restart
    Patent number: 11232091
    Abstract: An inventory cache that contains a rack inventory state is created, with a hardware management system (HMS), for each of a plurality of components on the software-defined data center (SDDC) rack. The rack inventor state is stored at a database. During a restart of the HMS the rack inventory state at the database is accessed by the HMS and used to create the rack inventory state instead of performing a SDDC rack discovery by the HMS.

  • Searching people, content and documents from another person's social perspective
    Patent number: 11227023
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for performing a search from another individual's social perspective. A name or a portion of a name of an individual known by the user is received. A directory search is then performed pertaining to the individual known by the user. After the user identifies the known individual from the directory search results, a selection to perform a directory, content or document search from the known individual's social perspective is received. Such a search may be performed based on the social network of the known individual. In this manner, by performing such searches from the social perspective of the known individual, such as the individual who disclosed the name of the individual who the user would like to contact, the user will be more likely to identify the correct individual, content or document in a more efficient manner.

  • Prediction and repair of database fragmentation
    Patent number: 11210274
    Abstract: Methods, information handling systems and computer readable media are disclosed for detection and repair of fragmentation in databases. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining log data reflecting transactions in a database, where the log data is generated during operation of the database. The method continues with applying a machine learning classification model to at least a portion of the log data to obtain a first prediction, where the first prediction indicates whether defragmentation of the database should be scheduled. In this embodiment the method also includes using a machine learning time series forecasting model to obtain a second prediction, where the second prediction identifies a future time interval of low relative database utilization, and scheduling a defragmentation procedure for performance during the future time interval of low relative database utilization.

  • Expansion of a tree hierarchy
    Patent number: 11200229
    Abstract: A method and associated system for selectively constructing a search result for a data requested by a search request specifying path information of a data node comprising the data. A template tree represents a hierarchy of the search result with expandable nodes which initially do not have actual data. A node of the template tree is dynamically expanded by a callback function to have a respective data for the node when the node is traversed for the first time during traversing the template tree according to the path information. The search result is created by expanding all nodes of the template tree that are specified in the path information. The data node in the search result is communicated to an entity that had originated the search request.

  • Providing consistent database recovery after database failure for distributed databases with non-durable storage leveraging background synchronization point
    Patent number: 11188516
    Abstract: An approach for consistent database recovery for distributed database systems uses “synchronization points”. A synchronization point is a global timestamp for which across all nodes of a distributed database system, the nodes have stored change records for any transaction occurring at and before the synchronization point in persistent logs. Each node may employ asynchronous flushing. However, on a periodic basis, each node coordinates to establish a synchronization point, which may entail ensuring change records for transactions that committed at or before the synchronization point are stored in persistent logs. In effect, a synchronization point represents that any transaction committed at or before the synchronization point has been durably committed.
