  • Patent number: 12762096
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A first data source may be identified to move from a source cloud deployment (that operates in accordance with a first release cadence for updating database schema) to a destination cloud deployment (that operates in accordance with second, different release cadence for updating database schema). The first source database is then migrated from the source cloud deployment to an intermediate cloud deployment hosted on the source cloud deployments that allows the schema of the first data source to remain unchanged for a duration of time that the first data source is hosted on the intermediate cloud deployment. The database schema associated with the first data source is then updated to an updated (most recent) database schema in accordance with the second release cadence of the destination cloud deployment, and migrated from the intermediate cloud deployment to the destination cloud deployment.

  • Patent number: 12754928
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for transforming unstructured data from an application running locally on a client device and indexing the data in a local index for use by a generative model. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems receive unstructured local data from an application running locally on a client device and transform the unstructured local data to formatted local data that matches a data format of a connector for the application. The disclosed systems index the formatted local data in a local index and access the formatted local data for use by a generative model to generate a generative response. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate additional contextual data from the application running locally on the client device and index the additional contextual data with the formatted local data for use by the generative model.

  • Patent number: 12748988
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework for analyzing graphs that exhibit non-homophilous behavior. Under the framework, a structural analysis and a feature-based analysis will be performed on a sequence of graphs. When performing the feature-based analysis, various features are extracted from each node in the sequence of graphs, and clusters of nodes are identified from each graph based on the features. A set of evolving prototypes is generated to represent evolving characteristics of the clusters of nodes, and a set of persistent prototypes is generated to represent persistent characteristics of the clusters of nodes. Information derived from the structural analysis of the graphs, the set of evolving prototypes, and the set of persistent prototypes are embedded within the nodes of the graphs. The embedded information is then used to classify the nodes.

  • Patent number: 12725087
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to machine learning-based techniques for segmenting entity populations. Embodiments include approximating distributions for outputs generated by a classification model for entities based on ground truth labels that indicate whether an event occurred with respect to the entities. A first distribution may relate to the distribution of classification model scores that indicate the likelihood of the event occurring with respect to entities for which the event did not occur. A second distribution may relate to the distribution of classification model scores that indicate the likelihood of the event occurring with respect to entities for which the event did occur. Based on the distributions, thresholds may be generated based on determining a gradient with respect to the distributions. Entities may then be segmented based on the thresholds, and interventions (such as resource allocations) may be applied based on the segmentation.

  • Patent number: 12645665
    Abstract: A system and method for creating a remediation plan with in-context learning (ICL) to a large language model (LLM) involves accessing pieces of content from a corpora and calculating similarity scores between selected content and the corpora. If the similarity score exceeds a set threshold, static metadata—such as authorship, file name, file size, last updated date, or source location—is retrieved. Dynamic metadata, including word count, sentence count, grammar correctness, number of citations, or layout classification, is also generated. Based on static and dynamic metadata, a remediation action is determined, which may involve merging content, prioritizing one piece over another, or ignoring certain content. A remediation prompt is then created and sent to the LLM to generate a preferred output. The process continues by accessing additional unprocessed content and repeating until a time limit expires, computational resources are consumed, or all content has been processed.

  • Patent number: 12579100
    Abstract: A KID's computer system is configured by PARENT-controlled software, giving each PARENT the power and responsibility to control the social media content being presented to their KID. The PARENT prescribes the criteria for action to be taken; and the PARENT prescribes the action to be taken by the KID's computer system. The PARENT-prescribed criteria comprises a list of BAAE-type states, e.g., emotional state. If one of these states is induced in the KID when they accessed the content from a Social Media Platform, then it triggers a PARENT-prescribed action. The list of possible PARENT-prescribed actions comprises at least the following: blocking the content, informing the KID, the PARENT, the Social Media Platform, School Authorities, Law Enforcement, Health Authorities of the KID's state, and archiving the event-data. The archived event-data is analyzed to discover harmful behavior patterns, e.g., lack of self-control, exhibited by the KID vis-à-vis social media content.
