Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for a user to upload a photo of an image object and an associated question related to the image object. If the system can determine a direct match based on previously stored image objects in a database correctly, the user can verify that the system generated answer is correct. If the system cannot identify the image object from the database, the system can rely on other users of the application to help identify and comment on the image object to determine the answers to the user's questions about the image object.

Abstract: A machine learning-based system and method for content clustering and content threat assessment includes generating embedding values for each piece of content of corpora of content data; implementing unsupervised machine learning models that: receive model input comprising the embeddings values of each piece of content of the corpora of content data; and predict distinct clusters of content data based on the embeddings values of the corpora of content data; assessing the distinct clusters of content data; associating metadata with each piece of content defining a member in each of the distinct clusters of content data based on the assessment, wherein the associating the metadata includes attributing to each piece of content within the clusters of content data a classification label of one of digital abuse/digital fraud and not digital abuse/digital fraud; and identifying members or content clusters having digital fraud/digital abuse based on querying the distinct clusters of content data.

Abstract: A multi-tenant system stores a hierarchy of machine-learned models, wherein each machine-learned model is configured to receive as input a set of search results and generate as output scores for ranking the set of search results. Each machine-learned model is associated with a set of dimensions. The system evaluates search query performance. Performance below a threshold causes a new model to be generated and added to the hierarchy of models. Upon execution of a new search query associated with the same set of dimensions as the newly created model, the new model is used to rank that search query's search results.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for tracking a series of changes to database data are disclosed. A method includes executing a transaction to modify data in a micro-partition of a table of a database by generating a new micro-partition that embodies the transaction. The method includes associating transaction data with the new micro-partition, wherein the transaction data comprises a timestamp when the transaction was fully executed, and further includes associating modification data with the new micro-partition that comprises an indication of one or more rows of the table that were modified by the transaction. The method includes joining the transaction data with the modification data to generate joined data and querying the joined data to determine a listing of intermediate modifications made to the table between a first timestamp and a second timestamp.

Further, the method comprises evaluating a plurality of policies to determine if the first slot request can be granted and responsive to a positive determination, transmitting an authorization token for a slot to the first search head.

Abstract: A system for performing continuous transaction log backups with minimal resource usage of the client computing devices that are processing the transactions is disclosed. The system detects at least one input/output (I/O) activity at a client computing device. The I/O activity can be associated with at least one database operation performed via the client computing device. The system then executes one or more native commands to backup transactions log data associated with the detected I/O activity to a virtualized location. Backing-up the transactions log data comprises dynamically identifying a mount path location corresponding to the virtualized location, and transferring the transactions log data to the dynamically identified mount path using the one or more native commands. The system can then perform data processing operations (for example, data chunking and deduplicating) on the transactions log data after it is received at the dynamically identified mount path location.

Abstract: With multiple software applications, multiple electronic devices for a user to access and work upon, and multiple potential storage locations for the files it is difficult for a user to remember the identity of a file worked upon, its storage location, or which application they employed. Whilst some applications provide a user with a listing of recently opened files these are only those accessed by that specific application upon a specific device. Embodiments of the invention provide users with a synthesized centralized view of all files accessed irrespective of where the user has stored the electronic content, with which electronic device the electronic content was accessed with, or with which software application the electronic content was accessed with.

Abstract: Data is migrated between a source database and a target database. The source database management system (“DBMS”) remains operational during the migration. A user selects the source DBMS and target DBMS, provides connection information used to connect to the database management systems and selects a virtual machine instance to perform the migration in conjunction with a database migration service. After the setup is complete, the virtual machine instance in conjunction with the database migration service performs data type transformations, and other operations, without user intervention. The database migration service also converts, without user intervention, the source schema and code to a format compatible with the target DBMS. Any code that is not converted is marked to assist the user of the database migration service identify where manual re-coding is required. The database migration service can also provide recommendations as to a target DBMS that is a suitable target DBMS.

Abstract: A DI recovery management system generates a plurality of ranked claimant records and recovery scores. A predictive machine learning model inputs disability income claim data and disability income claimant data into an event history model utilizing discrete-time survival analysis in conjunction with a gradient boosting machine learning model. The claim termination event is one of a plurality of preselected recovery events that indicate that a claimant has achieved return to work capacity. Claimant data used in modeling includes diagnosis data representative of workplace disability duration guidelines. The predictive machine learning model is continually trained using updated disability income claims data. The training procedure transforms claimant records extracted from a DI claims database into a longitudinal format that includes multiple person-year records corresponding to each claimant record.

Abstract: A concurrency control method of database transaction combining an optimistic lock and a pessimistic lock includes: integrating a lock in each fragment in a storage range, using a lock table globally, and recording a lock status of the each fragment in the lock table; before reading a data object of a fragment in the storage range, first querying in the lock table whether the data object of the fragment is locked by other reading-writing transactions; if the data object of the fragment is locked by other reading-writing transactions, blocking the current reading operation, and repeating the current reading operation, and if the current reading operation is blocked for more than a given time limit, since the pessimistic lock is invalid, intervening by the optimistic lock, and continuing reading the single row data of the current fragment.
