Abstract: A data processing and analysis system that optimizes the resources to be used for data storage and refresh events. A partitioner module for a data analysis system can receive a first client criteria and a first client dataset that includes tabular data and calculate scores that are used to generate partitioning strategies. The selected partitioning strategy can be implemented to produce aggregated data that can be stored in an intelligent data mart. The partitions can then be accessed by a data visualization platform for intelligent, dynamic responses to user requests for data analyses and generation of visualizations. By providing synchronous partitioning of data (especially big data) and intelligent refresh, the data can move from the back-end to the front-end with minimal user clicks and minimal latency in performance.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. In some systems, a client may request for a data management system (DMS) to execute a first instance of a query to obtain, from a database, first information that is responsive to the query. The DMS may identify, in response to the query being executed in an execution time that is greater than a threshold amount of time, an improved version of the query that is associated with a second execution time that is less than the threshold amount of time. The DMS may store the improved version of the query. The DMS may retrieve the improved version of the query in response to receiving a second instance of the query. The DMS may execute the improved version of the query after retrieving the improved version from storage to obtain, from the database, second information that is responsive to the query.

For example, a computing system includes a memory and one or more processors in communication with the memory. The one or more processors are configured to: retrieve, from a database in memory, one or more sets of emotion factor values for communication data associated with a customer over time; classify, using an emotion propensity model running on the one or more processors, the customer into an emotional profile according to the customer's typical emotional response during customer communications based on the one or more sets of emotion factor values for the communication data associated with the customer over time; and determine a probability that the customer will respond positively to a particular type of customer engagement based on the emotional profile for the customer.

In some implementations, a method may include generating a packet including an abbreviated header, where the abbreviated header may include a pointer corresponding to values for multiple parameters associated with a physical layer of communication rather than the values for the multiple parameters. The method may also include transmitting the packet to a client device according to the values for the multiple parameters.

The method further comprises determining a playback frame rate to slow a derivative video of the derivative video file using a desired frame rate, the derivative video frame rate, and the original video frame rate. The method further comprises displaying the derivative video at the determined playback frame rate.

Abstract: A system for utilizing media content reference point information to perform media content encoding, and supplemental content stitching and/or insertion. Media content can be encoded and packaged based on boundaries of the media content. The boundaries can be received from a third-party and/or generated via an automated process. Target boundaries can be selected based on accuracy levels associated with the received and/or generated boundaries. Supplemental content can be stitched and/or inserted into packaged media content based on audio and video content of the packaged media content being aligned.

Abstract: Some users of a data management system (DMS) may use multiple computing environments to replicate and store virtual machines (VM)s, such as for backup and recovery purposes. For example, different replication environments may include one or more private data centers, one or more cloud environments or any combination thereof. A user may schedule a failover procedure for an application. A DMS may perform a failover procedure that reduces downtime and eliminates data loss. The DMS may capture and replicate a snapshot of a VM running on a source computing environment to a target computing environment, power down the VM on the source computing environment, capture and replicate a second snapshot of the VM to the target computing environment, and power on the VM at the target computing environment. As the additional snapshot includes a relatively small amount of data replication at the target computing environment may proceed quickly, reducing downtime.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for synchronizing timestamps associated with media files across a variety of capture devices. For example, the disclosed systems receive a media file captured with a user device and determine, from metadata, initial timestamp information for the media file that includes inaccurate or incomplete time zone information. The disclosed systems determine a predicted time zone for the media file by extracting GPS information from the metadata associated with the media file or identifying a peer media file and utilizing a time zone or GPS information associated with the peer media file. The disclosed systems generate a synchronized timestamp for the media file with updated timestamp information based on the predicted time zone.

Abstract: Decision logic is determined based on unique branches and the conditions between steps of a process model. The decision logic outputs a next step based on a current step of the process, a previous path traversed, the attributes, and the conditions for the attributes. For a particular instance of the process, a current step a predicted output value for a current step of the instance is determined by providing information on the current step of the instance and a previous path traversed for the instance to a machine learning model. A next step of the process is determined using the decision logic and the predicted output value. A predicted process flow through the plurality of process steps for the instance is determined by iteratively determining subsequent steps for the instance using the machine learning model and the decision logic until reaching an end of the instance of the process.
