  • Patent number: 11960466
    Abstract: This application relates to automatic processes that service data requests for information related to an item during varying temporal periods. For example, a computing device receives first attributes for an item, and generates a first surrogate key and a first super surrogate key based on the first attributes. Further, the computing device generates a first entry within a first table that includes the first surrogate key and the first super surrogate key. The computing device joins the first table to a second table based on natural keys. The computing device also receives second attributes for the item, and generates a second surrogate key for the item based on the second attributes. Further, the computing device generates a second entry within the first table that includes the second surrogate key and the first super surrogate key. The computing device also adjusts the first super surrogate key within the first entry.

  • Patent number: 11921711
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for sequence-to-sequence conversion from unstructured search queries to structured database queries, so that lay persons may retrieve information from relational databases without specialized knowledge of database query languages. An encoder module and a decoder module of a learning model are trained to convert an unstructured search query to an intermediate feature vector by computing co-attention and self-attention based on a context string and a database schema, encoding the database schema in the context string by application of self-attention between the context string containing tokens of the database schema with learned structural attention heads which relate the token to logic of the database. Training is performed using labeled training datasets which include structured database queries which are normalized by parsing into a semantic representation thereof, followed by linearization.

  • Patent number: 11886502
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards previewing results generated from indexing data raw data before the corresponding index data is added to an index store. Raw data may be received from a preview data source. After an initial set of configuration information may be established, the preview data may be submitted to an index processing pipeline. A previewing application may generate preview results based on the preview index data and the configuration information. The preview results may enable previewing how the data is being processed by the indexing application. If the preview results are not acceptable, the configuration information may be modified. The preview application enables modification of the configuration information until the generated preview results may be acceptable. If the configuration information is acceptable, the preview data may be processed and indexed in one or more index stores.
