  • Patent number: 11698911
    Abstract: A processor may receive a request with a column-oriented operation. The query request may be related to updates to a row-oriented database based on the query request previously performed on the row-oriented database. The processor may determine the amount of time for replicating the updates to a column-oriented database. If the amount of time for replicating the updates to the column-oriented database is greater than a threshold amount of time, then the processor may create a transient file with the updates. The transient file may be in a format that is recognized by the column-oriented database. The processor may query the column-oriented database based on the query request and the transient file.

  • Patent number: 11698889
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to processing data. An example method includes acquiring data related to a first moment in streaming data of an object to be processed. The method further includes storing the data in a first entry of a data table based on an identification of the object to be processed, wherein the data table further includes a second entry before the first entry, and the second entry stores data related to a second moment before the first moment in the streaming data. The method further includes updating an index related to the object to be processed based on the first entry. Thus, a solution to the problem of performing search in data at different moments is provided, and it is unnecessary for a user to participate in the solution, thus improving the user experience and reducing the use of storage resources.

  • Patent number: 11687514
    Abstract: Multimodal table encoding, including: Receiving an electronic document that contains a table. The table includes multiple rows, multiple columns, and a schema comprising column labels or row labels. The electronic document includes a description of the table which is located externally to the table. Next, operating separate machine learning encoders to separately encode the description, schema, each of the rows, and each of the columns of the table, respectively. The schema, the rows, and the columns are encoded together with end-of-column tokens and end-of-row tokens that mark an end of each column and row, respectively. Then, applying a machine learning gating mechanism to the encoded description, encoded schema, encoded rows, and encoded columns, to produce a fused encoding of the table, wherein the fused encoding is representative of both a structure of the table and a content of the table.

  • Patent number: 11675764
    Abstract: Techniques described herein may support a learned ontology or meaning for user, organization, or customer specific data. According to the techniques described herein, a set of datasets corresponding to an entity may be processed to generate a master dataset including rows that include at least a field name and a value corresponding to the field. The master dataset is processed to generate a corpus of text strings that is input into a word embedding function which generates a set of vectors based on the corpus. Because the configuration of the text string positions values by field names and field values, implicit relationships and contexts are identified within the data using the word embedding function.

  • Patent number: 11640414
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive user request data from a user device associated with a user. The device may retrieve pre-defined technical object content data from an enterprise system. The device may retrieve pre-defined interface format data and a pre-defined business rule from a first data structure and a second data structure, respectively, based on the user request data. The device may determine whether a mapping, for generating an enterprise system object, is stored in a third data structure. The device may map the technical object content data to the pre-defined interface format data, based on the mapping and the pre-defined business rule, to generate mapped data when the mapping is stored in a third data structure. The device may generate the enterprise system object based on the mapped data. The device may perform one or more actions based on the enterprise system object.

  • Patent number: 11599538
    Abstract: Techniques for associating a selected search result, for a current query, with a recently executed prior query are disclosed. The system receives a first query from a user and presents a first set of search results. The system receives a second query from the user, subsequent to presenting the first set of search results, and presents a second set of search results. The system determines that a user selects a particular search result from the second set of search results. The system determines an association between the first query and the second query. Responsive to determining that the user selected the particular search result and the association between the first query and the second query, the system associates the particular search result with the first query. Subsequently, the system receives a new request for execution of the first query and, in response, presents at least the particular search result.

  • Patent number: 11567920
    Abstract: Embodiments permit searching across different system landscapes, for data associated with master data objects. A map is constructed comprising (explicit, inferred) connections between different pieces of data located in various databases, systems, and landscapes. In certain embodiments the map is constructed utilizing a parameter (e.g., family name) present in a received query, as a boundary condition. The map may be in tabular form, and may conform to a particular notation scheme. Once the map is constructed, the query is executed thereupon to search for relevant data. The corresponding query result is received and stored, ultimately for communication back to the user posing the original query. Embodiments may be particularly suited to returning private data of a unique entity (e.g., natural person, corporation, juristical person) that is stored over a variety of different master data objects (e.g., employee, customer, supplier) and across complex system landscapes.

  • Patent number: 11561999
    Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing the amount of time to restore a database or other application by dynamically generating and storing synthetic snapshots are described. When backing up a database, an integrated data management and storage system may acquire snapshots of the database at a snapshot frequency and acquire database transaction logs at a frequency that is greater than the snapshot frequency. In response to detecting that the database is unable to provide a database snapshot, the integrated data management and storage system may generate a synthetic snapshot of the database by instantiating a compatible version of the database locally, acquiring a previously stored snapshot of the database, applying data changes from one or more database transaction logs to the previously stored snapshot to generate the synthetic snapshot, and storing the synthetic snapshot of the database within the integrated data management and storage system.

  • Patent number: 11556536
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for autonomic caching in an IMDG has been provided. A method for autonomic caching in an IMDG includes receiving from a client of the IMDG a request for a primary query in the IMDG. The method also includes associating the primary query with a previously requested sub-query related to the primary query. Finally, the method includes directing the sub-query concurrently with a directing of the primary query without waiting to receive a request for the sub-query from the client. In this way, the method can proactively predict a receipt of the request for a sub-query following a request for a primary query prior the actual receipt of the request for the sub-query.

  • Patent number: 11550833
    Abstract: An architecture for semantic search over encrypted data that improves upon existing encrypted data search techniques by providing a solution that is space-efficient on both the cloud and client sides, considers the semantic meaning of the user's query, and returns a list of documents accurately ranked by their similarity to the query. Different search schemes are presented based on S3C architecture (namely, FKSS, SKSS, and KSWF) that are fine-tuned for different types of datasets. The system requires only a single plaintext query to be entered and is easily portable to thin-clients, making it simple and quick for users to use.
