  • Patent number: 11561971
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for keyword search over a knowledge graph. The knowledge graph comprises a large number of vertices representing entities and a large number of edges representing relations between the entities. The knowledge graph is enhanced with static labels. A static label for each vertex includes a list of distances between the vertex and other vertices of the knowledge graph. The method includes receiving a set of keywords, constructing dynamic labels based on the set of keywords and determining a subgraph of the knowledge graph for the set of keywords based on the static labels and based on the dynamic labels. The constructing of the dynamic labels includes obtaining keyword vertices by mapping keywords of the set of keywords to vertices of the knowledge graph and obtaining for the keyword vertices distances between the keyword vertices and predecessors of the keyword vertices from the static labels.

  • Patent number: 11543806
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system and method for facilitating a search for a hybrid-manufacturing process plan for manufacturing an object. During operation, the system can obtain a set of partial order constraints constraining the order in which a set of at least two manufacturing actions, corresponding to addition or removal of predefined regions of space, appear in a process plan. The system can constrain, based on the set of partial order constraints, a search space. The search space can correspond to a tree in which the nodes represent the object's state and the edges represent available actions at each node. The system can then determine a set of optimized process plans represented by orderings of the actions, corresponding to paths on the search tree, that produce the desired final state in a cost-effective manner.

  • Patent number: 11481653
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods forecast network resource and/or infrastructure needs for an enterprise computer system that employs network servers to host resources that are requested by network users. Based on the forecasts, the network resources can be scaled or provisioned accordingly. The state of the networkservers can be dynamically adjusted to meet the request needs of the users while reducing excess capacity. The forecasting techniques are also applicable to cloud computing environments. Based on the forecasts, the cloud server pool can be scaled dynamically, so that the system's scale satisfies the changing requests and avoids wasting resources when the system is under low load.

  • Patent number: 11455351
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to online user profiling. In one example, content associated with a first user of a social media network is obtained. From the content associated with the first user, a first link to a first piece of content is identified. A second user of the social media network associated with the first user is determined in the context of the social media network. From content associated with the second user of the social media network, a second link to a second piece of content is identified. The first and second pieces of content are retrieved based on the first and second links, respectively. User profile of the first user is generated based, at least in part, on the first and second pieces of content.

  • Patent number: 11442990
    Abstract: A system and method for transforming input data in a data graph is structured in such a way that it does not destroy embedded contextual data yet also keeps the number of edges in the data graph sufficiently small in number that computation with respect to the data in the data graph is feasible with existing computational resources on extremely large graph sets. Incoming data is represented as a collection of “cliques” rather than placing each data object into its own node in the graph database. Maintaining the clique structure though the graph build pipeline dramatically reduces the exponential increase in the number of edges in the graph, while also maintaining all of the contextual data presented on the input record.
