Abstract: A server receives a query identifying one or more attributes of an entity. The server accesses a set of candidate templates for answering the query based on the one or more attributes of the entity, each candidate template having one or more fields, wherein each field is associated with at least one constraint. The server obtains a set of information that answers the query and selects a template from the set of candidate templates, where the selected template has a maximum number of fields with constraints that are satisfied by the set of information. The server then generates a phrase by adding the set of information to the one or more fields of the selected template, such that the phrase comprises an answer to the query. Finally, the server communicates the phrase to a client device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data retention handling are described. In some data storage systems, data objects are stored in a non-relational database schema. The system may support configurable data retention policies for different tenants, users, or applications. For example, a data store may receive retention requests, where the retention requests may specify deletion or exportation actions to perform on records contained within data objects. The data store may determine retention rules based on these retention requests, and may periodically or aperiodically evaluate the rules to determine active actions to perform. To improve the efficiency of the system, the data store may aggregate the active actions (e.g., according to the dataset to perform the actions on), and may generate work items corresponding to the aggregate actions. A work processor may retrieve these work items and may efficiently perform the data retention actions on datasets stored in the data object store.

Abstract: In some examples, natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence based searching may include identifying named entities in text from a corpus of documents. References in the text may be resolved with the identified named entities. Links between the named entities may be determined, and a bi-direction rootless graph may be generated. Semantic relationships may be determined from text of the named entities, and blacklist keywords may be identified. Machine learning classification may be performed based on a pair of the named entities and a blacklist keyword. A classification may be determined based on the pair of named entities and the blacklist keyword, and a rule may be identified that specifies which named entity in the pair is to be flagged. Further, a node in the graph may be flagged based on an association with the named entity identified according to the rule.

Abstract: Windowed queries with event-based open times are described for use in data analytics for streaming data. A window semantic may be used to define windowed queries of an analytics application that, when executed against an incoming data stream, open a window at a time when a first event associated with a grouping key is received by a windowed query. The window remains open for a predefined duration specified in the windowed query, and query results may be generated based on any events associated with the grouping key that are received while the window remains open. After a lapse of the predefined duration, the window closes, and the query results may be output in association with the window.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for monitoring files in a computer system are provided. In this regard, aspects of the invention facilitate file monitoring without file handle use, as it pertains to file monitoring and tailing, thereby mitigating file handle locking conflicts. In various implementations, information for the monitored files is obtained from the kernel using a filter driver in the I/O path. When the filter driver detects write operations being performed on monitored files, file-write data is copied and placed in a kernel buffer, where it can be pulled by a user mode monitoring process and fed to a monitoring application. As such, there is no need for coordination between the monitoring process and the user mode processes of other third-party applications writing data to monitored files.

Further, the search apparatus generates an index that associates the elements with positions of the respective elements in the file. Then, the search apparatus generates mask information indicating a range of a specific search target item among the plurality of items, in the file. The search apparatus searches for one or more element strings satisfying a search condition, from among search target elements that are indicated by the index as being within the range of the search target item indicated in the mask information, based on the search condition.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system in response to a request to back up a virtual machine to a backup storage system, generates a snapshot of the virtual machine. The system identifies one or more files within the snapshot that satisfy a predetermined criterion. If the one or more files are identified, the storage system backs up a modified representation of the snapshot by, analyzing the snapshot to determine addresses of the identified one or more files within the snapshot, and substituting content of the identified one or more files at the addresses with a predetermined data pattern. The system deduplicates the modified representation of the snapshot to remove duplicated data segments and copies data segments of the modified representation of the snapshot to the backup storage system such that data segments to be copied to the backup storage system is minimized.
