  • Patent number: 11928125
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may obtain, from a first data repository, a first dataset that includes event data associated with a generic schema. The system may infer an event-specific schema that defines an organizational structure for the event data based on common attributes identified among a plurality of events included in the event data using one or more data analytics functions. The system may store, in a second data repository, a second dataset in which the event data is partitioned based on the organizational structure defined by the event-specific schema. The system may generate a third dataset that includes a subset of the event data included in the second dataset that satisfies one or more registration parameters related to an extract, transform, load (ETL) use case. The system may provide the third dataset to an ETL system configured to process the third dataset based on the ETL use case.

  • Patent number: 11864488
    Abstract: Techniques for recommending side-by-side plantings of pairs of seeds include a server computer receiving agricultural data records that represent crop seed data describing seed and yield properties of seeds and first data for agricultural fields where the seeds were planted. The server receives second data for available seeds and automatically calculates a dataset of success probability scores that describe the probability of a successful yield on the target fields. Data is organized as pairs to facilitate comparison of actual plantings to optimized plantings that have a probability of success (POS), in terms of yield lift or increased yield season-over-season, for different yield values. Confidence values are generated and stored in association with the POS values and can be used as a basis of visual output to support planting and/or field management decisions as part of an automated intelligent agricultural decision support system.

  • Patent number: 11816174
    Abstract: A search system performs item searches using morphed images. Given two or more input images of objects, the search system uses a generative model to generate one or more morphed images. Each morphed image shows an object of the object type of the input images. Additionally, the object in each morphed image combines visual characteristics of the objects in the input images. The morphed images may be presented to a user, who may select a particular morphed image for searching. A search is performed using a morphed image to identify items that are visually similar to the object in the morphed image. Search results for the items identified from the search are returned for presentation.

  • Patent number: 11816589
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed associated with a cloud platform as a service provider. A monitoring agent, associated with a database service instance running on a client database virtual machine, periodically executes a performance throttling detection engine. The performance throttling detection engine gathers database statistics based on metrics and features of the database service using a rule-based approach. When it is determined that a pre-determined condition is met, the system may transmit the gathered database statistics to an external application. For example, the external application might comprise a database tuning service and the pre-determined condition may be associated with a decision that the database service may potentially need to tune knob configuration parameters (associated with memory knobs, background writer knobs, asynchronous knobs, etc.).
