  • Patent number: 12632504
    Abstract: A user interface of an online system is generated based on search for relevant items that match ingredients of a recipe. After receiving, from a device associated with a user of the online system, a query for an ingredient of a recipe, the online system identifies, based on one or more attributes in the query, a set of candidate items for the ingredient. The online system generates a recipe relevance score for each candidate item by applying a weighted sum of scores, ranks the identified candidate items based on their recipe relevance scores, and selects one or more items for presentation to the user. The online system then generates a user interface of the device with a recipe page including the ingredient of the recipe and the one or more items that match the ingredient of the recipe.

  • Patent number: 12626061
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically converting a standard operating procedure (SOP) into a simulatable non-ambiguous single state machine (SSM) architecture in which a given input (transition condition) necessarily and unambiguously moves the system from a first state to a predictable second state. By converting a written SOP into a simulatable non-ambiguous SSM architecture, the techniques described herein reduce the possibility of errors and improve the safety, efficiency, and operational performance of the system. The described techniques also allow the architecture, and indeed the entire system, to be simulated.

  • Patent number: 12579166
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an active-active mirrored artificial intelligence architecture are disclosed. In some implementations, the system identifies, for an inference request from a user, at least two geographically separate compute clusters configured to handle the inference request, each compute cluster storing a version of an artificial intelligence model for processing the inference request. The system determines, from the inference request, a data consistency requirement mapping the inference request to one or more data consistency types. The system determines, for each compute cluster, a composite metric based on, among other things, a consistency freshness score of the compute cluster. The system routes the inference request to a selected compute cluster having a lowest composite metric subject to a constraint that the consistency freshness score for the compute cluster satisfies the data consistency requirement for the inference request.

  • Patent number: 12530322
    Abstract: Systems and methods for file sorting and de-duplication of files in a filesystem. A reverse path crawl may be performed followed by clustering files into file buckets. The clustering may be followed by one or more steps of combining file buckets based on one or more criteria. The merged content of the files in each file bucket may be analyzed and a similarity score may be calculated for each pair of files in the bucket. Based on the similarity score, the system may split each bucket into one or more dissimilar buckets. The dissimilar buckets may have a canonical file selected for each and a canonical file name created/chosen for said selected canonical file.

  • Patent number: 12524470
    Abstract: Techniques for selectively aggregating records based on a downstream function to be applied to the records are disclosed. A system obtains an instruction corresponding to a set of records and a function to be applied to the set of records. The system determines whether the function meets a particular criteria for aggregating records prior to transmitting the records to an application for executing the function on the records. If the system determines that the function does meet the records-aggregation criteria, the system stores a set of records in a buffer prior to sending the set of records to the function-executing application. The system sends the set of records to the application together as a group with an instruction to generate a set of function results that includes a separate value for each record in the set of records.
