  • Patent number: 12639292
    Abstract: Various example embodiments described herein provide for systems, methods, devices, instructions, and the like for using AI model cascades to filter data on a data system, such as a database system, based on an artificial intelligence model prompt (e.g., user-provided prompt). In particular, various example embodiments enable a database system to use cascaded AI models and adaptive bounds to optimize data filtering operations based on an artificial intelligence model prompt (also referred to herein as just a prompt) while balancing computational cost and accuracy, which can be useful in processing large-scale data queries.

  • Publication number: 20260065136
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for classification with automated model selection, tuning, and training. A processing device receives, from a client, a data query referencing an input data set of a database associated with a virtual warehouse. The processing device allocates an amount of memory of the virtual warehouse to be used to train a machine learning (ML) model based on the input data set and a peak memory estimate, where the peak memory estimate is based on a heuristic. The processing device trains, based on the input data set and the data query, the ML model in the virtual warehouse using the amount of memory.

  • Publication number: 20240378305
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating object references with selectable scopes are provided. The systems and methods perform operations including calling, by a first entity, a reference generator function using one or more arguments associated with a database object that the first entity is authorized to access according to a first set of access privileges, the one or more arguments comprising a scope definition that defines persistence of a reference. The operations include obtaining, from the reference generator function, a reference to the database object, the reference persisting according to the scope definition. The operations include passing the reference to a second entity to enable the second entity to perform one or more database operations on the database object according to a second set of access privileges derived from the first set of access privileges.

  • Publication number: 20240346386
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fast and accurate time series forecasting algorithm that eliminates the need for hyperparameter tuning. Time series data may be analyzed using a quadratic function to determine a quadratic trend prediction, which is removed from the time series data to generate first detrended time series data. A moving median of the time series data is determined and the moving median is removed from the time series data to generate second detrended time series data. An amplitude scaling factor is determined based on the second detrended time series data and the first detrended time series data is descaled using the amplitude scaling factor to generate descaled time series data. The descaled time series data is analyzed to determine a seasonal prediction and a time series forecast is generated based on the seasonal prediction, the quadratic trend prediction, and the amplitude scaling factor.

  • Patent number: 12026221
    Abstract: Using an attributes model of a time series forecasting model, determine a set of features based on time series data, the set of features including periodic components. The time series data may be divided into a set of segments. For each segment of the set of segments, a weight may be assigned using an age of the segment, resulting in a set of weighted segments of time series data. Using a trend detection model of the time series forecasting model, trend data from the set of weighted segments of time series data may be determined. A time series forecast may be generated by combining the set of features and the trend data.

  • Patent number: 11934927
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing input and output error of a machine learning (ML) model in a database system are presented herein. A set of test queries is executed on a first version of a database system to generate first test data, wherein the first version of the system comprises a ML model to generate an output corresponding to a function of the database system. An error model is trained based on the first test data and second test data generated based on a previous version of the system. The error model determines an error associated with the ML model between the first and previous versions of the system. The first version of the system is deployed with the error model, which corrects an output or an input of the ML model until sufficient data has been produced by the error model to retrain the ML model.
