Patent number: 12769721Abstract: Data Analytics Engines can be provided as a “black-boxed” abstraction to their “users.” This allows a user to mix and match analytical components if their input data matches the input requirement of the engine. Furthermore, by decoupling the Data Analytics Engine creation from the environment, a high degree of process automation, scalability, and improved maintainability can be achieved. As a result, Data Analytic engineers and Data Scientists can create reusable components for other scientists and business users, whereas the users need not know how the Engines are coded or the environment in which their engines will run, but only need to know the input schema of the data.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2020Date of Patent: October 20, 2026Assignee: Teradata US, Inc.Inventors: David Mueller, Sebastian Mariano Salomon, Riaz Uddin, Gregory Earl Hart, Omri Shiv, Khaled Bouaziz, Guillaume Koch, Arnaud Flament
