  • Patent number: 11635989
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to dynamically routing an event to a component of a hybrid application. For example, a method may include: detecting an event from a first component of a first component type of a hybrid application; transmitting a request to execute a function associated with the event to a plurality of components, the plurality of components being a combination of components of the first component type and components of a second component type different from the first component type, the first component being different from the plurality of components; dynamically determining which component of the plurality of components to assign to execute the function, the dynamically determining being based on which components of the plurality of components are available to execute the function and one or more rules; assigning the function to the determined component; and receiving a result of the function from the determined component.

  • Patent number: 11630664
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for facilitating access to and incorporation of APIs within an application during development, while ensuring that the API satisfies quality constraints. These quality constraints are controlled by the application of rules, which result in a maturity score for the API, in accordance with embodiments. These rules may be provided by a variety of sources for use in scoring the API at various stages. For example, a developer group may control access to developers within the group by applying a ruleset that restricts APIs for applications written by the developer group to a threshold score. This threshold score can limit or restrict APIs that are offered to a developer by an API exchange. Additionally, a ruleset may be applied to enforce a minimum score for submission of an API for inclusion within an API exchange.

  • Patent number: 11609749
    Abstract: Computer processes are provided which can be executed without business or commercial context, independent of the kind of data or other content associated with the computer processes. In one embodiment, a computer process can be broken down into functional units, and the metadata associated with the functional units can be extracted. Each functional unit can then be represented by an interface and also coded with computer-readable instructions to use one or more configuration sets which have been defined by the metadata. The computer process can then be implemented by programming the functional units to execute based on a configuration set determined by predefined operating parameters. Artificially intelligent algorithms may be used to analyze and self-configure the processing flow or business rules aspects of different events associated with the computer process.

  • Patent number: 11610085
    Abstract: In some examples, a prototype model that includes a representative subset of data points (e.g., inputs and output classifications) of a machine learning model is analyzed to efficiently interpret the machine learning model's behavior. Performance metrics such as a critic fraction, local explanation scores, and global explanation scores are determined. A local explanation score capture an importance of a feature of a test point to the machine learning model determining a particular class for the test point and is computed by comparing a value of a feature of a test point to values for prototypes of the prototype model. Using a similar approach, global explanation scores may be computed for features by combining local explanation scores for data points. A critic fraction may be computed to quantify a misclassification rate of the prototype model, indicating the interpretability of the model.

  • Patent number: 11599345
    Abstract: Language interoperability between source code programs not compatible with an interprocedural static code analyzer is achieved through language-independent representations of the programs. The source code programs are transformed into respective intermediate language instructions from which a language-independent control flow graph and a language-independent type environment is created. A program compatible with the interprocedural static code analyzer is generated from the language-independent control flow graph and the language-independent type environment in order to utilize the interprocedural static code analyzer to detect memory safety faults.
