  • Patent number: 11275726
    Abstract: A system and method for distributed exchange and transformation of structured data with reproducibility and complete provenance are described. Data enters the system through the plurality of data publishers that share data in the form of append-only historical logs of events. Plurality of parties can then collaborate on improving and enriching data by defining the transformation rules, forming a potentially distributed computational graph. Data from any stage of such graph can be accessed by plurality of consumers. Stream processing techniques are used to minimize the propagation latency of data through the graph. Bitemporal data modelling and determinism of transformations enable reproducibility and verifiability of the results. Every event that influences how data looks like is tracked in the temporal metadata which enables provenance and dataset evolution.

  • Patent number: 11263243
    Abstract: Digital records are clustered and assigned unique individual identity across a plurality of data sources. Each record contains one or more tagged common properties, which belongs to an underlying identifiable entity. A special parameterized metric distance is calculated for all pairs of records. With adjustment of the metric parameters, the records are clustered based on a predetermined distance threshold. Based on the clustered records, the underlying identity associated with the records can be resolved.

  • Patent number: 11144536
    Abstract: A system and method for performing real-time analytics detection where a current profile update is derived from a current incoming transaction for an entity and stored in a profile update table, an up-to-date profile for the entity is derived from the most recent profile stored in a profile table and from all recent profile updates stored in the profile update table for the entity which are more recent than the last time the most recent profile was last updated, the up-to-date profile is utilized to perform the detection, and, the current profile is updated in a consistent manner, without utilizing an update lock on the profile table, by only updating the profile in the profile table based on the recent profile updates which are earlier than a current time minus a synchronization period which is larger than a maximum potential time difference between different clocks in the system.

  • Patent number: 11126678
    Abstract: Social media users are subject to harassment when unwanted offending content reaches them. Social media companies are reluctant to police content. The Emakia system provides a solution at the point where incoming real-time data are received. The Emakia system proposes to use sets of Machine Learning classifiers to filter text, images, audio, and video. Classifiers are trained with labeled data. After training, the model is used to screen the incoming real-time data. On the user mobile device, only approved content is displayed. The unwanted data are still available if the user desires to access them. The system provides multiple classifiers and customized models to the individual user. When harassment content is detected a report is sent to an entity who can help support the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11113242
    Abstract: A method includes receiving trace data representing access information about files stored in a large-scale distributed storage system, identifying file access patterns based on the trace data, receiving metadata information associated with the files stored in the large-scale distributed storage system, and generating a preferred storage parameter for each file based on the received metadata information and the identified file access patterns. The method also includes receiving, file reliability or accessibility information of a new file, determining whether the received file reliability or accessibility information of the new file matches information of a file group of the files in the large-scale distributed storage system, and when the file reliability or accessibility information of the new file matches the information of the file group, storing the new file in the large-scale distributed storage system using the preferred storage parameter associated with the file group.

  • Patent number: 11074294
    Abstract: The disclosure relates a method to encode Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) as linked networks of blocks, with each block containing the fingerprints of preceding blocks in the form of their hashes. This results in the DAG being represented by a series of blocks sequentially connected by hash pointers. This requires the hashes of every block that is an immediate predecessor to be included in a succeeding block. The blocks are associated with DAG vertices. A block may therefore have multiple succeeding blocks or multiple preceding blocks as in a DAG. The method determines the DAG starting vertices. Block creation and hash operations are subsequently performed. Successor vertices are determined, and their blocks and block hashes progressively generated when it is determined that the hashes of all blocks corresponding to preceding vertices have been generated. This continues until all DAG vertices have been processed and are associated with a block.
