  • Patent number: 11782907
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided to combine responses to a plurality of user requests in a system that validates transactions. The system includes a plurality of nodes, a transaction response combiner (TRC), and a plurality of queues located in the TRC. Each queue is associated with one of the plurality of nodes. Each node executes an instance of the same application, and each node receives each one of the plurality of user requests. The application produces a response for each one of the plurality of user requests, and each response includes response details. In operation, the TRC receives a response from each of the nodes for each of the user requests. Each response is tagged with an identifier that corresponds with the respective user request. At least some of the tagged responses for one of the plurality of nodes is inserted into a queue.

  • Patent number: 11775499
    Abstract: A system includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a table indication of a data table and to receive a transaction indication to perform a transaction. The processor is configured to determine a current position N in a transaction log; determine a current state of the metadata; determine a read set associated with a transaction; attempt to write an update to the transaction log associated with a next position N+1; in response to a transaction determination that a simultaneous transaction associated with the next position N+1 already exists, determine a set of updated files; and in response to a determination that there is not an overlap between the read set associated with the current transaction and the set of updated files associated with the simultaneous transaction, attempt to write the update to the transaction to the transaction log associated with a further position N+2.

  • Patent number: 11687519
    Abstract: A first stack running on a processor receives the transaction data, reference data, and context data. The reference data is independent of the transaction and of a user. The context data is associated with the user but is independent of the transaction. The first stack strips the transaction of derivable data to obtain stripped data. The derivable data includes data that can be derived from the stripped data, the context data, and the reference data. The derivable data can stream the stripped data to a global database available and redundant across multiple geographical regions. After the first stack fails, a second stack can resume the transaction by retrieving the stripped data from the global database, and retrieving the context data, and the reference data. The second stack can recreate the transaction data based on the stripped data, the context data, and the reference data, and can resume the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11676001
    Abstract: Knowledge graphs can greatly improve the quality of content recommendation systems. There is a broad variety of knowledge graphs in the domain including clicked user-ad graphs, clicked query-ad graphs, keyword-display URL graphs etc. A hierarchical Transformer model learns entity embeddings in knowledge graphs. The model consists of two different Transformer blocks where the bottom block generates relation-dependent embeddings for the source entity and its neighbors, and the top block aggregates the outputs from the bottom block to produce the target entity embedding. To balance the information from contextual entities and the source entity itself, a masked entity model (MEM) task is combined with a link prediction task in model training.

  • Patent number: 11630820
    Abstract: A method for analyzing time series sensor data of a physical system represented by a process graph retrieves sensor data streams from stored sensor time series data. Each of the sensor data streams comprises a sequence of time-value pairs and is associated with a sensor identifier, a time offset, and a sampling period. A metric data stream is produced from the retrieved sensor data streams in accordance with a stored physics model of the physical system. Producing the metric data stream includes i) synchronizing the sensor data streams by adjusting time offsets of the sensor data streams and adding interpolated values and times to the sensor data streams to produce synchronized streams with equal sampling periods; and ii) performing a point-wise computation over values of the sensor data streams in accordance with the physics model.
