  • Patent number: 12093245
    Abstract: A method for improving computing efficiency of a computing device for temporal directed cycle detection in a transaction graph includes preparing the transaction graph based on a plurality of transactions, the transaction graph including nodes indicating transaction origination points and transaction destination points, and edges indicating interactions between the nodes. Irrelevant nodes in the transaction graph are identified and pruned to provide a pruned, preprocessed transaction graph which can be partitioning into sections, where each section includes selected nodes that are linked to other linked nodes therein. Each of the sections having non-cyclic nodes can be trimmed prior to performing cycle detection on the resulting pruned transaction graph. Postprocessing pruning can be performed to further reduce the number of detected cycles that may be of interest to a particular application, such as in anti-money laundering.

  • Patent number: 12061580
    Abstract: A method for execution by a computing device of a storage unit of a storage network includes receiving a digest list request from a storage network entity regarding integrity data for a set of encoded data slices where the storage unit stores a plurality of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices and corresponding integrity data, where the digest list request is for integrity data of the plurality of encoded data slices. The method continues with the storage unit collecting integrity data, transmitting the collected integrity data to the storage network entity. The method continues with the storage unit receiving an indication that an inconsistency exists in the collected integrity data as compared to integrity data received from one or more other storage units storing a second plurality of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices.

  • Patent number: 12056619
    Abstract: An approach is disclosed that computes a path through a generalization lattice comprising a plurality of levels. For each of the levels, the approach uses a scoring function to compute one or more values from a node on a first level of the generalization lattice to one or more neighboring nodes on a second level of the generalization lattice. The approach then adds a best node from the neighboring nodes to the path based on the values. At the completion of computing scoring functions on the generalization lattice, the path comprises a best node from each of the plurality of levels. The approach then selects an optimal node from the best nodes in the path.

  • Patent number: 12050657
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques and systems for retrieval of content using link-based searches. Embodiments herein include receiving, by a server, a request including a hyperlink directed to a source content. The server may determine whether a database associated with the server comprises the hyperlink. The database stores information of multiple entities each corresponding to one or more hyperlinks. In response to a determination that the database includes the hyperlink, the server may identify an entity corresponding to the hyperlink and provide information of the entity to the computing device. In some embodiments, in response to a determination that the database does not include the hyperlink, the server may identify related web content and return results to user.

  • Patent number: 12038990
    Abstract: System and methods for augmenting search results with external/user-provided data not contained in a primary datastore. On demand matching is used at run time to match entries in the primary datastore with information in a secondary datastore that is neither indexed nor pre-matched. A location-based query is received. Candidates are generated by searching a primary datastore. A machine learned entity matching network matches the candidates with information in the secondary datastore. The candidates are augmented with the information and returned as search results.

  • Patent number: 12019693
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for updating a machine learning model utilized in a search engine operation. The method identifies a set of search queries in stored search queries corresponding to a service and apply the identified set of search queries to the search engine to generate one or more search results for the service. Each search result has an assigned aggregate based on values of a set of parameters associated with the service. The method then analyzes the values of the set of parameters to determine a tradeoff point of each parameter to determine one or more weights to apply to the machine learning model based on the tradeoff points. The method stores the determined one or more weights and applies them to the machine learning model for a search query corresponding to the service.

  • Patent number: 12019649
    Abstract: The cloud hybrid application storage management system spans local data center and cloud-based storage and provides a unified view of content and administration throughout an enterprise. The system manages synchronization of storage locations, ensuring that files are replicated, uniquely identified, and protected against corruption. The system ingests digital media assets and creates instances of the assets with their own identification and rights and houses the identification and relationships in a CAR (Central Asset Registry). The system tracks the different instances of the assets in multiple storage locations using the CAR, which is a central asset registry that ties together disparate digital asset management repository systems (DAMs) and cloud-based storage archives in which the instances reside. While the invention treats and manages multiple files/instances independently, the CAR identifies them as related to each other.

  • Patent number: 12008014
    Abstract: Herein is high availability for online transaction processing with redundancy and redo for a federation of pluggable databases and container databases. In a federation of container database management systems that includes a first container database, first redo data of a first pluggable database in a second container database is obtained based on a database dictionary in the first container database. To the first pluggable database in the first container database, the first redo data of the first pluggable database in the second container database is applied. Based on the database dictionary in the first container database, second redo data of a second pluggable database in a third container database is obtained. To the second pluggable database in the first container database, without modifying content of the first pluggable database in the first container database, the second redo data of the second pluggable database in the third container database is applied.

  • Patent number: 11977590
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting selectable page navigation options representing topics or search queries determined to be relevant to an item that a user is viewing on an initial page. When a user selects to begin entering a search query in a search filed on the initial page, a system may determine two or more page destinations to recommend to the user based on the first item presented on the initial page, where the page destinations may each represent a different topic or search query. These recommended destinations may then be presented over at least a portion of the initial page near the search field as selectable options for navigating to a corresponding recommended page destination. The selectable options may include, for each recommended page destination, an image representing the page destination and text identifying the page destination.
