  • Patent number: 12373439
    Abstract: A first set of subconditions is obtained. Approximate matching of the first set of subconditions against a plurality of sets of subconditions is performed. A second set of subconditions among the plurality of sets of subconditions is accessed, wherein a representation of a subcondition in the first set and/or the second set of subconditions comprises a value having one of a plurality of states, and wherein the plurality of states comprises a state of “don't care”. The first set of subconditions is approximately matched against the second set of subconditions. The first set of subconditions is compared against the second set of subconditions. A matching criterion is determined to be met based on a result of the matching. Information indicating that the second set of subconditions is at least an approximate match for the first set of subconditions is output.

  • Patent number: 12339811
    Abstract: Compressing files is disclosed. An input file to be compressed is first aligned. When the file has multiple axes or dimensions, the file is aligned along each of the axes. Aligning the file includes splitting the file into sequences that can be aligned along each of the axes or dimensions. Aligning the file generates a compression tensor, where each row or dimensional space of the compression tensor corresponds to part of the file. A consensus tensor is determined from the compression tensor. Using the consensus tensor, pointer lists are generated. Each pointer lists identifies a subsequence or portion of the consensus tensor. The compressed file includes the pointer lists and the consensus tensor.

  • Patent number: 12332854
    Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to meta-learning based error detection. Base classifiers are provided for historical attributes in historical datasets. Each is trained to indicate dirtiness of a value for the associated historical attribute. Clusters and a clustering model are generated using historical clustering features determined for each historical attribute, which are then associated with the clusters. For each dirty attribute in a dirty dataset, corresponding dirty clustering features are determined. The dirty attributes are assigned to the clusters using the corresponding determined dirty clustering features and the clustering model. The base classifiers associated with the clusters to which the dirty attributes were assigned are retrieved. Dirty features are extracted from the dirty dataset, and selectively modified. The extracted dirty features are applied to the retrieved the base classifiers to determine meta-features. A meta-classifier is trained using labeled meta-features.

  • Patent number: 12277129
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide a system that gathers information about data as it progresses through data processing pipelines of data analysis projects. The data analytics system derives value indicators and implicit metadata from the data processing pipelines. For example, the data analytics system may derive value indicators and implicit metadata from data-related products themselves, semantic analysis of the code/processing steps used to process the data-related products, the structure of data processing pipelines, and human behavior related to production and usage of data-related products. Once a new data analysis project is initiated, the data analytics system gathers parameters and characteristics about the new data analysis project and references the value indicators and implicit metadata to recommend useful processing steps, datasets, and/or other data-related products for the new data analysis project.
