  • Patent number: 11971810
    Abstract: This application relates to systems and methods for automatically generating experiments based on experiment requests routed to micro-services (model sub-components) using a prefix-based routing mechanism. In some examples, experiment requests may parsed to determine lower layer services (e.g., components) whose properties need to be changed for a model iteration. Prefixes in requests may be used to route the experiment requests and portions thereof to appropriate services or layers for configuration at the micro-service level. Routing tables at each higher layer may be utilized to determine the correct sub-layers to redirect a request and/or portion thereof. At micro-service level, each micro-service may store and use a configuration table to match a received parameter in a request with a property and its corresponding value for the experiment.

  • Patent number: 11954461
    Abstract: A system for autonomously delivering software features is disclosed. The system parses data obtained from a variety of sources, and extracts source concepts from the parsed data to generate models for inclusion in a set of agglomerated models. Over time, additional data from the variety of sources may be utilized to update the set of agglomerated models. The updated agglomerated models may be analyzed by the system to determine whether new features and/or functionality may be added to an application under evaluation by the system. In the event that new features and/or functionality may be added to the application under evaluation, the system may automatically generate code corresponding to the new features and/or functionality and incorporate that features and/or functionality into the application under evaluation.

  • Patent number: 11954460
    Abstract: A method and system for developing low-code and no-code software applications in a visual programming environment uses data flow expressions in which processing steps are represented as homoiconic data expression statements recorded in a transaction log that is accessible to developers at all times and that follows ACID rules. Data flow expressions are written in an interface description language for easy readability by non-programmers. An internal replacement language represents the modeled application and produces executable code by applying a target language template, producing executable code in other programming languages without knowing how to code in those languages.

  • Patent number: 11921620
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for generating a visualization of blocks of code statements related to errors in a log file. A log file logs errors in execution of program code. Source code, from which the program code is compiled, is analyzed to determine blocks of statements in the source code whose execution resulted in the errors in the log file. Blocks of statements in the source code are annotated with the errors in the log file caused by the blocks of statements. Execution of a block of statements annotated with an error resulted in the error logged in the log file. The annotated blocks of statements are processed to generate a video providing a visualization of the blocks of statements in the source code whose execution resulted in the errors.
