  • Patent number: 11327948
    Abstract: A method is used in managing deduplication of data in storage systems. A candidate data object is identified for deduplicating a data object by evaluating digests stored in a current digest segment to determine whether another digest matching a digest associated with the data block is stored in the current digest segment. The current digest segment includes a set of digests associated with a set of data blocks previously received for deduplication. Based on the evaluation, a deduplicating technique is applied to the data object. The current digest segment is stored in an index table. A previous digest segment associated with a digest stored in the index table matches the digest associated with the data block is replaced by the current digest segment.

  • Patent number: 11244325
    Abstract: A system and method for managing media advertising enterprise data. An enterprise data management (EDM) module can be configured to include a set of rules at an enterprise level to manage disparate and disconnected records. A scoring function with respect to each record can be computed based on the rules to determine the highest priority. The rules in association with the scoring function can be stored locally in an EDM database. A matching process can then be performed to accurately match similar records regardless of manual input, location, and format of the records in a distributed system. Each record can then be assigned with a parent enterprise advertiser. Such an optimization mechanism can interactively manage and report records at the enterprise level in a simple and efficient manner.

  • Patent number: 11210348
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a data clustering method based on K-nearest neighbor, which sorts data points to be clustered in ascending order according to the maximum radiuses of K-nearest neighbors of the data points, that is, according to the density, and perform the first pass across the data points after sorting the data points in ascending order to incorporate the data points that conform to the statistical similarity into the same cluster; then perform the second pass across the data points with smaller cluster density according to the scale required during the clustering to find out all noise points and incorporate non-noise points into the nearest large-density cluster, so as to realize data clustering, which has the benefits of no need to preset the number of clusters and know the probability distribution of the data and convenience to set parameters.

  • Patent number: 11200229
    Abstract: A method and associated system for selectively constructing a search result for a data requested by a search request specifying path information of a data node comprising the data. A template tree represents a hierarchy of the search result with expandable nodes which initially do not have actual data. A node of the template tree is dynamically expanded by a callback function to have a respective data for the node when the node is traversed for the first time during traversing the template tree according to the path information. The search result is created by expanding all nodes of the template tree that are specified in the path information. The data node in the search result is communicated to an entity that had originated the search request.
