  • Patent number: 11132364
    Abstract: A computing system determines a response to a query. A bin start value and a bin stop value is defined for each bin based on an input bin option. End nodes are split based on the bin start value and the bin stop value of each bin to define a second plurality of end nodes. Each start node of a plurality of start nodes that is connected to each end node of the second plurality of end nodes is identified based on the respective link attributes of a plurality of link attributes. Overlapping start nodes of the plurality of start nodes that overlap at an end node of the second plurality of end nodes are identified based on a predefined overlap query graph that defines a connectivity to identify between a start node and the end node. The identified overlapping start nodes are output as a response to the predefined overlap query graph.

  • Patent number: 11126645
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for providing information on detected user interactions with natural language processor (NLP) items to a server to use to determine an order in which to render NLP items in a user interface. Interactions with natural language processing (NLP) items in documents are detected. For each interaction with an NLP item of the NLP items in the documents, determination is made of a context attribute value for a context attribute related to the interaction with the NLP item. Then interaction information is generated indicating the NLP item and the determined context attribute value. The interaction information is sent to the server to include in user interaction information in a database.

  • Patent number: 11113307
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to synchronizing entity identifiers across multiple data centers. In some embodiments, an entity identifier translation server may be deployed within a cloud-based distributed environment. The entity identifier translation server may receive data from multiple different data centers and detect changes/updates to entity identifiers within the data centers. In response to detected changes, the entity identifier translation server may identify one or more corresponding entity identifiers within the other data centers. For each of the corresponding entity identifiers within the other data centers, the entity identifier translation server may determine whether or not the corresponding entity identifier is to be synchronized with the newly-changed entity identifier in the first data center, and if so, may initiate synchronization processes.

  • Patent number: 11113612
    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 network servers can be dynamically adjusted to meet the request needs of the users while reducing excess capacity. The forecasting techniques of the present invention 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: 11093607
    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification generally relates to computer security. In some implementations, a method includes maintaining a first data structure that stores arrays of identifier tuples. Each identifier tuple corresponds to a respective computer security event and includes one or more identifiers for a computing element associated with the computer security event. Each array of identifier tuples corresponds to a respective identifier and only includes identifier tuples that include the corresponding identifier. A second data structure that stores arrays of computer security data is maintained. Each array of computer security data corresponds to a respective identifier tuple stored in the first data structure and only includes computer security data associated with each identifier in the corresponding identifier tuple. A query that specifies a first identifier for a first computing element is received.

  • Patent number: 11080334
    Abstract: Methods can include receiving a graphbase comprising a first plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges representing covering-covered relationships between the nodes. Each node can comprise a plurality of node parameters such as a NodeNumber, a Reachable Interval, and an OwnTree Interval. For a traversal ordering of nodes, nodes comprised within the OwnTree Interval are reachable from the node, nodes comprised within the Reachable Interval may be reachable from the node, and nodes comprised within neither interval are not reachable by the node. Methods can additionally include the steps of receiving a first and second sub-set of nodes, the sub-sets being a sub-set of the first plurality of nodes. Furthermore, a relationship between the first and second sub-set can be determined using the NodeNumber, the OwnTree Interval, and the Reachable Interval.

  • Patent number: 10983868
    Abstract: Epoch-based management of file system data is disclosed. In various embodiments, for each of a plurality of snapshots, data that associates with the snapshot a corresponding last chunk identifier assigned as of a time at which the snapshot is or was created is stored a in a first data structure. For each of a plurality of chunks of file system data no longer referenced by any live file system object, an epoch identifier associated with an epoch in which the chunk became no longer referenced by any live file system object is stored in a second data structure. A chunk identifier and associated epoch comprising an entry in the second data structure are compared with one or more entries in the first data structure to determine whether a chunk associated with the chunk identifier is associated with a snapshot that continues to be retained.

  • Patent number: 10977430
    Abstract: Transactions include text fields, such as description fields. Transactions are extracted from financial institutions using web-scraping extraction. In the process of extracting transactions, errors can be introduced into text fields, such as the inclusion of a space within a word or the removal of a space between words. A statistical approach is applied to the text fields. When two alternative text fields are presented, the alternative that statistically includes more common tokens, such as unigrams and bigrams, is chosen as the correct alternative. The incorrect alternative is replaced by the correct alternative in the text field.

  • Patent number: 10942974
    Abstract: A system, method and the like for synchronous document captures into an asynchronous archive and document-level reconciliation of the archive process. Once a document requiring archiving has been captured and validated, the client is immediately notified that the document has been accepted into the archiving system and that archiving will ensue. Once the batch mode archiving process has been completed, the client is notified, at the document/individual request-level of the completion of the archive process. Additionally, the archiving system is transparent to the clients in terms of system changes, capable of mitigating system errors and/or notifying clients of system errors, adaptable to allow for any format of web service call requesting document archiving, allows for different types of documents having different index/metadata to be processed without a database schema change and allows users to configure archive process attributes on a per document, or per document-type basis.
