  • Patent number: 11907313
    Abstract: An online recommendation system can choose recipes to recommend to a customer based on a set of ingredients the customer is inferred to have on hand (a customer pantry model). For example, the recommendation system can look at recent or historical purchases made by the customer and determine what items the customer still has available based on an assumed shelf life for the purchased items. Using the customer pantry model, the recommendation system selects recipes based on overlapping ingredients between recipe's ingredient lists and ingredients available to the customer (including the customer pantry model and their current shopping cart). In some implementations, the recommendation system first selects a set of candidate recipes based on the overlap, then selects the final set of recipes to recommend based on a score optimization (for example, performed using a machine learning model).

  • Patent number: 11899725
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for more efficiently updating a data directory, which maps data objects stored by a data storage service, such as maintained by on premise computing resources of a client of the data storage service. In one example, event data corresponding to operations performed on a plurality of data objects stored in a data storage partition of a data storage service may be obtained. A set of data objects relevant to a directory maintained locally by a client device may be determined. The event data may be filtered, such as by removing entries of the plurality of entries not corresponding to the set of data objects. The filtered event data may then be stored or pushed to a client device, to cause the directory to be updated, without requiring a full examination of the data storage partition.

  • Patent number: 11892987
    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to automated data splitting using predictive program synthesis. Input-only examples for splitting an input column of an input data set can be received. The input-only examples can include example entries from the input column of the input data set to be split into multiple output columns without specification of how the example entries are to be split into multiple output columns. Further, a program for splitting the input column of the input data set into the multiple output columns can be synthesized based on the input-only examples. The program can be synthesized, given the input-only examples, in a domain-specific language (DSL) for splitting an entry into a tuple of fields utilizing a predictive program synthesis algorithm. Moreover, the program can be executed on the input data set to split the input column of the input data set into the multiple output columns.

  • Patent number: 11892999
    Abstract: A system and method for faster access for compressed time series data. A set of blocks are generated based on a table stored in a database of the data platform. The table stores data associated with multiple sources of data provided as consecutive values, each block containing index vectors having a range of the consecutive values. A block index is generated for each block having a field start vector representing a starting position of the block relative to the range of consecutive values, and a starting value vector representing a value of the block at the starting position. The field start vector of the block index is accessed to obtain the starting position of a field corresponding to a first block and to the range of the consecutive values of the first block. The starting value vector is then determined from the block index to determine an end and a length of the field of the first block.

  • Patent number: 11886507
    Abstract: A system and method for cybersecurity analysis utilizing high-performance, scalable, multi-tenant, dynamically specifiable, knowledge graph information storage and utilization. The system uses an in-memory associative array for high-performance graph storage and access, with a non-volatile distributed database for scalable backup storage, a scalable, distributed graph service for graph creation, an indexing search engine to increase searching performance, and a graph crawler for graph traversal. One or more of these components may be in the form of a cloud-based service, and in some embodiments the cloud-based services may be containerized to allow for multi-tenant co-existence with no possibility of data leakage or cross-over. The system uses a cyber-physical graph to represent an enterprise's cyber-physical system and can provide graph analysis, graph security, and graph fusion related tasks to identify potential cybersecurity threats.
