  • Patent number: 10970277
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for dynamically converting data manipulation language (DML) code embedded in a mainframe application rehosted in a mainframe rehosting platform. The DML code can include SQL scripts with SQL statements, and standalone SQL statements for accessing a source database in a mainframe computer. The DML code can be converted programmatically and immediately before the DML code is to be executed during the execution of the rehosted mainframe application. A database access script converter in an application runtime of the mainframe rehosting platform can load a database schema of a target database and a set of conversion rules, parse the rehosted mainframe application to identify the DML code, and convert each SQL statement based on one or more conversion rules and the database schema, for execution against the target database.

  • Patent number: 10970270
    Abstract: Databases are often provided according to various organizational models (e.g., document-oriented storage, key/value stores, and relational database), and are accessed through various access models (e.g., SQL, XPath, and schemaless queries). As data is shared across sources and applications, the dependency of a data service upon a particular organizational and/or access models may become confining. Instead, data services may store data in a base representation format, such as an atom-record-sequence model. New data received in a native item format may be converted into the base representation format for storage, and converted into a requested format to fulfill data requests. Queries may be translated from a native query format into a base query format that is applicable to the base representation format of the data set, e.g., via translation into an query intermediate language (such as JavaScript) and compilation into opcodes that are executed by a virtual machine within the database engine.

  • Patent number: 10831749
    Abstract: A computing device determines that a user submits a query. The computing device tracks proximate web activities to the query by the user, determines a topic of the query, and determines a navigation path of the user from the proximate web activities. The computing device calculates a semantic score for the navigation path and associates the semantic score with the user, the topic, and the navigation path. The computing device calculates a threshold score for the topic using a sampling of semantic scores associated with matching topics in an expertise dataset and determines whether the semantic score meets the threshold score. When the semantic score does not meet the threshold score, the computing device performs one or more predetermined actions. An efficient manner of automatically discovering navigation paths used by experts in specific topics is provided, thus requiring less computing time and resources.

  • Patent number: 10803057
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a system that utilizes regular expression (regex) to recognize at least portions of characters, words, text, numbers, etc. in a structured or unstructured dataset, any patterns associated therewith, and/or similarities between the determined patterns. In examples, a regex-based pattern recognition platform may receive a dataset and determine whether at least a first regex pattern and a second regex pattern can be identified. The occurrences of the first and second regex patterns and the frequency of those occurrences may reveal something about the dataset itself or any patterns contained therein.

  • Patent number: 10805259
    Abstract: Generating an improved/more accurate geolocation database is provided. Given a dataset of reverse DNS hostnames for IP addresses, ground truth information, and a hierarchical geographical database, a machine learning classifier can be trained to extract and disambiguate location information from the reverse DNS hostnames of IP addresses and to apply machine learning algorithms to determine location candidates and to select a most probable candidate for a reverse DNS hostname based on a confidence score. The classifier can be used to generate an accurate geolocation database, or to provide accurate geolocation information as a service.

  • Patent number: 10761758
    Abstract: Embodiments include a data aware deduplicating object store. The data aware deduplicating data store includes a consistent hashing logic that manages a consistent hashing architecture for the object store. The consistent hashing architecture includes a metadata ring and a bulk ring. The consistent hashing architecture may be a multiple ring architecture comprising a metadata ring and two or more bulk rings. A bulk ring may include a key/value (k/v) data store, where a k/v data store stores a shard of an index and a reference count that facilitates the individual approach to garbage collection or data reclamation. The data aware deduplicating data store also includes a deduplication logic that provides data deduplication for data to be stored in the object store. The deduplication logic performs variable length deduplication and provides a shared nothing approach.
