Patent number: 11971914Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) method includes a processor receiving, from a human user, a query on an external database; performing transformations on the query to produce a refined query; generating an embedding of the refined query; and generating a system prompt and a user prompt based on the refined query. The processor then applies the embedding to a vector database by executing a similarity routine to identify discrete vectors in the vector database most similar to the embedding, and collects the most similar vectors for application to a large language model. Next, the processor applies the most similar vectors, the refined query, and the system and user prompts to a large language model to generate a comprehensive response to the query. The response includes a text document that is generated by execution of the large language model.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Cure A1, LLCInventors: Jared Watson, Nathan Watson

Patent number: 11966410Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for loading and transforming data to a cloud database, using a hybrid set-based extract, load, transform approach. During the loading and transforming of large amounts of data, from one or more data sources, a data synchronization application sends small batches of data, in parallel streams, to the database, which operates as a transformation engine to load the data. Each stream can be associated with a separate staging table in the database. For each staging table, the subset of data therein is transformed and loaded, before the next subset is processed. A transform and merge process operating at the database can then be used to transform and merge the data, from each of the staging tables, to the target table.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Vijayakumar Ranganathan, Dmitriy Gertsman, Saugata Chowdhury
