Abstract: One or more publish control-plane components (PCCs) of a data store determine that operation records (ORs) indicative of operations performed on a data object are to be published via a durable log publisher. The PCCs assign, for a particular publish session of one or more publish sessions established for the data object, an OR submitter to transmit ORs associated with the data object from a designated buffer to the durable log publisher. The OR submitter transmits a particular OR to the publisher, and the publisher replicates the particular OR at nodes of a DAG (directed acyclic graph). Contents of the OR are provided by the publisher in response to a read request.

Abstract: A method for grouping and storing objects across different storage solutions in storage systems according to analysis of multiple dimensions of information may be implemented as or in a storage management module. The module collects information about objects (e.g., data objects) in a storage system (e.g., a data storage system). The objects may be objects already stored in the storage system or may be new objects to be stored in the storage system. The module analyzes the collected information across multiple dimensions to determine groupings of the objects, and determines a storage solution for each determined grouping. The module may then direct storage of the objects in the groupings according to the determined storage solutions. Upon obtaining new information about object(s) in the storage system, the module may direct movement of the object(s) from one storage solution to another storage solution according to an analysis including the new information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention comprise systems, computer program products, and methods for a financial and social management system that provides improved tracking and management related to how, where, when, and with whom a user enters into activities. The financial and social management system captures activity information and images from various sources of information, including but not limited to social networking accounts, e-receipts, location determination devices, and the like, and associates the activity information and images with the activities. The financial and social management system may display the activities, activity information, and images in an interactive map using markers. The markers in the interactive may be displayed as a function of the time of the activity, include images, or transaction data related to the activity. Positioning information related to the location of the user at the time of the activities may also be overlaid on the interactive map.

Abstract: Merging analysis paths is provided. A first analysis path and a second analysis path are identified, wherein each analysis path identifies one or more data resources of an information space. A match is determined between a first data resource of the one or more data resources identified by the first analysis path and a second data resource of the one or more data resources identified by the second analysis path. A third analysis path that is based, at least in part, on the first analysis path and the second analysis path is generated.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a query and a passage are parsed by a language parser to detect noun-centric phrases and verb-centric phrases in the query and the passage. Entities, including at least one untyped entity, are identified based on the noun-centric phrases and relations are identified based on the verb-centric phrases. Entity pairs are created that include an entity identified in the query and an entity identified in the passage, each pair satisfies a matching criteria. Relation pairs are created that include a relation identified in the query and a relation identified in the passage, each pair satisfies a matching criteria. A passage score that indicates the likelihood that an answer to the query is contained in the passage is determined based on the entity pairs, the matching criteria satisfied by each entity pair, the elation pairs, and the matching criteria satisfied by each relation pair.

Abstract: A mobile terminal capable of transmitting and receiving messages and a data processing method thereof for retrieving data from a database and transmitting the data to a network in a message efficiently are provided. The method includes displaying at least one first message; extracting at least one first keyword from the first message; determining whether an attach request event occurs; searching, when the attach request event occurs, a database for a first data corresponding to the extracted at least one first keyword; displaying, according to a result of the search, at least one of the first data and a first icon representing the first data; and transmitting a second message including the first data.

Abstract: A system and method logs update queries by epoch, including at checkpoints performed at various times.

Abstract: A method includes storing a first stored procedure in a first database management module and a second stored procedure in a second database management module, receiving by the first database management module a request to run a computational task with the first stored procedure, receiving a request to perform the computational task and in response thereto causing a first query optimizer in the first database management module to automatically compute a query execution plan for the first stored procedure, using the query execution plan to identify all first data containers on the first database management module that provide input data for the requested computational task, identifying a list of names of all second data containers mapped to the identified first data containers, and performing the second stored procedure using the list of names. A corresponding computer program product and data management system are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: Disclosed are a software recommending method and a software recommending system. The method comprises: detecting software already installed and/or web application already run on a client (101); analyzing software already installed and/or web application already run on the client, and obtaining personalization data of the client user, wherein the personalization data include age data, and/or personality data, and/or gender data (102); providing a corresponding software recommending mechanism according to the personalization data of the client user (103). This solution makes software recommendations for different personalities of different users, so that the recommendations are more targeted; and a user also does not need to search a variety of software for desired software through complicated operations.

The media items are ranked based on the scores. One or more of the media items that have not been featured by any source external to the content hosting platform are identified. A popular media item data set is then created, based on the ranking, with highest ranked media items that have been featured by at least one source external to the content hosting platform.

Abstract: A system determines a set of users satisfying a given criteria based on attribute values of the users. The system associates each value of an attribute with a representation of users having that attribute value. The representation of users may be an enumeration of users or a bit index. The system receives a request for determining a set of users satisfying a given criterion. The system identifies a logical operation based on the criterion and performs the logical operation to determine the set of users. The representation of the set of users may be distributed across a plurality of processors, allowing the system to perform the logical operation in parallel. The system may further determine statistical information describing a characteristic of the set of users, for example, page likes by the set of users. The statistical information may be presented to a business for analyzing their target audience.
