Abstract: A search request received at a computer of a search support system is processed by analyzing the received search request to identify request parameters and connecting to a system index of the search support system that is referenced in the request parameters. An external result provider (ERP) process is initiated that establishes communication between the search support system and a data source external to the search support system, for a virtual index referenced in the request parameters. Thus, the ERP process provides an interface between the search support system and external data sources, such as by third parties. The ERP process can operate in a streaming mode (providing real-time search results with minimal processing) and/or a reporting mode (providing results with a greater delay and processing extent) and can switch between modes. The search request results are received from the connected system indexes and the referenced virtual indexes.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically generating company profiles. Independent seed source services each crawl web pages to collect seeds from different web-based sources. A seed enricher module can then fetch additional information for each of the collected seeds from other different web-based sources and generate an enriched company seed for each collected seed. The enriched company seeds can then be automatically clustered into different clusters that each represent a particular company. A particular value for each attribute of each cluster that is determined to have the highest score can then be selected for inclusion in a corresponding company profile for that cluster.

Abstract: The application describes a system and method for extracting a star schema from tabular data for use in a multidimensional database. The system can receive a tabular data including a plurality of columns, and determine a relationship between each pair of the plurality of columns by analyzing actual values in a plurality of rows for each pair of columns. Based on the determined relationships among the plurality of columns and a type of each column, the system can use a heuristic process to identify a plurality of cube elements from the plurality of columns to construct a star schema. A user interface can be provided to display potential problems of the star schema, and one or more alternative approaches for a user to select to extract a star schema from the tabular data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention utilize an improved LSM-tree-based key-value approach to strike the optimal balance between the costs of updates and lookups with any given main memory budget. The improved approach involves allocating memory to Bloom filters differently across different levels so as to minimize the sum of the false positive rates associated with the Bloom filters. In addition, the improved approach may predict the impact of the system design parameter(s) and/or environmental parameter(s) on the lookup performance. Subsequently, the improved approach may “self-tune” the system design parameter(s) and/or environment parameter(s) to maximize the throughput.

Abstract: A system includes a memory configured to store instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions include accessing time series data, calculating statistical parameters of the time series data, identifying a set of external processing resources, and conveying the time series data and the statistical parameters to the set of external processing resources. The instructions include instructing the set of external processing resources to compute a similarity self-join of the time series data for a window size having a specified length. The instructions include obtaining sets of minimum subsequence distances from the set of external processing resources over a communications network. The full similarity self-join indicates, for each reference subsequence of the specified length within the time series data, a minimum value of distances between the reference subsequence and other subsequences of the specified length within the time series data.

Abstract: A copy-free transition tool converts storage objects from a source format associated with a source storage system to a destination format associated with a destination storage system. The transition tool exports configuration information associated with the source storage system to the destination storage system and brings the storage objects offline. Once the transition tool determines that the storage devices containing the storage objects are physically connected to the destination storage system, the tool can convert file systems from the source format to the destination format while leaving data and file layout unchanged. The tool can also modify metadata associated with each of the storage objects to conform to the destination format and store the modified metadata with the destination storage system.

Abstract: Various systems and methods provide an intuitive user interface that enables automatic specification of queries and constraints for analysis by ML component. Various implementations provide methodologies for automatically formulating machine learning (“ML”) and optimization queries. The automatic generation of ML and/or optimization queries can be configured to use examples to facilitate formulation of ML and optimization queries. One example method includes accepting input data specifying variables and data values associated with the variables. Within the input data any unspecified data records are identified, and a relationship between the variables specified in the input data and a variable associated with the at least one unspecified data record is automatically determined. The relationship can be automatically determined based on training data contained within the input data. Once a relationship is established a ML problem can be automatically generated.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for determining peers of a user by evaluating persons identified from a calendar of the user. In use, a system identifies a calendar of a user. The system further identifies events saves in the calendar of the user. One or more persons are then identified by the system from the events. Moreover, for each of the identified persons, the system evaluates the person in terms of information gathered from the events and determines whether the evaluating indicates that the person has a particular type of relationship with the user. When the system determines that the evaluating indicates that the person has the particular type of relationship with the user, then the system identifies the person as a peer of the user.

The system further detects when at least one of the files is declared as a permanent record by the user of the client computing system, and based on the detecting of the declaration as a permanent record, prevents editing by the client computing system of each file declared as a permanent record.

Abstract: Techniques for synchronization for cross-context digital item containers and collaboration are provided, receiving a user command to share a particular digital item from a first portfolio of digital items with a second portfolio of digital items. In response receiving the command to share the digital item, making a digital copy of it and placing it in the second portfolio of digital items. Subsequently, an alteration is made to the digital item and a determination is made with whom to share the alteration among those with whom the digital item had been previously shared. Those alterations can be accepted (or rejected) by the other portfolios. When they are accepted, they are applied to the digital copy.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide unsupervised density-based clustering to infer table structure from document. Specifically, a number of words are identified from a block of text in an noneditable document, and the spatial coordinates of each word relative to the rectangular region are identified. Based on the word density of the rectangular region, the words are grouped into clusters using a heuristic radius search method. Words that are grouped into the same cluster are determined to be the element that belong to the same cell. In this way, the cells of the table structure can be identified. Once the cells are identified based on the word density of the block of text, the identified cells can be expanded horizontally or grouped vertically to identify rows or columns of the table structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a history walker interface to a time-based data structure are disclosed. A time-based data structure may contain information about updates to a set of records that change periodically over time. For example, a set of records that record state transitions of a task item as the task item progresses through its life cycle. An example task item may be represented by a change request or incident report in a help desk software application. The task item begins with an “open” state and may transition through any number of states (e.g., assigned, on-hold, test, customer response requested, etc.) on its way to ultimately being “closed” as completed. A history walker interface may assist application developers when creating applications to indicate how the task item transitioned through its different states throughout its lifecycle.
