  • Patent number: 11625434
    Abstract: An online concierge system generates an item graph connecting item nodes with attribute nodes of the items. Example attributes include a brand, a category, a department, or any other suitable information about the item. When the online concierge system receives a search query to identify one or more items from a customer, the online concierge system parses the search query into combinations of terms and identifies item nodes and attribute nodes related to the search query. The online concierge system identifies item nodes and attribute nodes that are likely to result in a conversion. Information about the identified nodes is presented to the customer. The customer may select an item node to purchase the item, or an attribute node to execute a new search query based on terms associated with the attribute node.

  • Patent number: 11586676
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for mode-specific search query processing. A current search query is received from a user, wherein the user has a user profile. In response to determining that a query mode for the current search query is a guided mode, a query context of the current search query is determined. A classification for the current search query is determined. One or more search influencers are identified using the classification, where each of the one or more search influencers has a corresponding user profile. The current search query is rewritten based on the query context, a private portion of the user profile of the user, and a public portion of each corresponding user profile of each of the one or more search influencers. The rewritten search query is executed to generate search results, and the search results are returned.

  • Patent number: 11580115
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved categorization of queries are disclosed. In one aspect, first queries having query results limited to a particular category are identified. Second queries including a first query are also identified. For identified second queries, a pattern is generated based on the second query and the included first query, and a rank of the first query's particular category in results for the second query and a percentage of the second query's results having a category equivalent to the included first query's particular category are determined. The ranks and percentages are aggregated for matching patterns, and second patterns with aggregated ranks and percentages meeting a criterion are determined. Results for a third query are limited to a category equivalent to a particular category for a first query included in the third query, and then transmitted over a computer network to a client device.

  • Patent number: 11494348
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for using object references as a data type. In response to a request for an object reference for an object by a consuming application, the object reference is generated by a source application. The object reference comprises a data structure comprising an activation uniform resource identifier for activating the referenced object, information for visually representing the object reference, and, optionally, metadata that describes the referenced object. The generated object reference is provided to an operating system component by the source application which provides the object reference to a consuming application. The consuming application can display information regard the object reference in accordance with the information for visually representing the object reference included in the object reference. The user can request reactivation of the object referenced by the object reference.

  • Patent number: 11487727
    Abstract: One embodiment provides for a method including performing, by a processing thread, a process that analyzes transactional operations by maintaining the transactional operations in transaction local side logs, and waiting until a successful transaction commit to append the transaction local side logs to a log stream. The processing thread processes the transactional operations on a key used to determine whether existing data is found for the key. The transactional operations are sped up through parallelism based on partitioning tables across nodes handling the transactional operations. A first process is performed by a first processor that processes updates for values of a key based on updating a first start time table index using unique keys and a start time field of a row for a first appearance of each unique key from the transactional operations.

  • Patent number: 11487721
    Abstract: A metastructure for representing and manipulating or analyzing a data model is provided herein. A source representation of the first data model may be received. The source representation may include a representation of one or more structural components of the first data model, respectively having identifiers and types. One or more instances of a metastructure schema object datatype may be generated based on the one or more structural components of the source representation. Generating a given instance of the metastructure schema object datatype for a given structural component may include assigning a first identifier of the given structural component to the first data member of the given instance, determining a first type associated with the given structural component, and assigning the first type to the second data member of the given instance. The one or more instances of the metastructure schema object datatype may be stored in association.

  • Patent number: 11481400
    Abstract: Techniques are described for evaluating message content in each of a plurality of messages in order to improve communication between customers and customer service representatives. The disclosed techniques enable efficient evaluation of the message content in each of the messages in order to determine a readability score for each of the messages. A computing device performs the efficient evaluation by processing the message content into a binary representation using a first value to represent vowels and a second value to represent non-vowels. The binarization of the message content allows the computing device to perform a syllable count and determine a readability score for each of the plurality of messages, which may include millions of messages. Based on the readability scores, the computing device may identify readability gaps between the representative messages and the customer messages, and generate subsequent representative messages that reduce the identified readability gaps.
