  • Publication number: 20240144088
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an interaction summarization system for automatically generating summary output. The interaction summarization system generates a transcript from an interaction including content, the content including at least one of written text, audio speech, non-word symbols, metadata, silences, language characteristics, or acoustic characteristics, wherein the content is attributed to a participant in the interaction, and generates an interaction summary of the transcript using at least one of an extractive machine learning summarization model or an abstractive machine learning summarization model that summarizes the content of the interaction.

  • Publication number: 20240144916
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for generating insights from words and phrases mapped in high-dimensional space. The method includes obtaining a plurality of communications. The plurality of communications comprise a plurality of words and phrases. Further, the method includes obtaining a model configured through training to cluster word representations of the plurality of communications. The method also includes applying a constraint to at least a group of the plurality of communications to obtain at least one modified group. The constraint is at least one of a keyword, a phrase, or groupings of words in phrases. Once the modified group is determined, the method proceeds to representing the at least one modified group into word representations then determining a category for the at least one modified group.

  • Publication number: 20240083066
    Abstract: A drill bit includes a shank defining a longitudinal axis and a cutting edge extending radially outward relative to the longitudinal axis. The cutting edge is configured to remove material from a workpiece along a cutting path during a cutting operation. The drill bit further includes a plurality of scoring elements positioned within the cutting path and configured to contact the workpiece before the cutting edge during the cutting operation.

  • Patent number: 11899644
    Abstract: Herein is a self-tuning database management system (DBMS) storing JavaScript object notation (JSON) documents and operating a JSON datatype as native to the DBMS. In an embodiment, a computer hosts a DBMS that executes a data definition language (DDL) statement that defines, in a database dictionary of the DBMS, a JSON document column of a database table that stores JSON documents as instances of the JSON datatype that is native in the DBMS. The DBMS may autonomously set or adjust configuration settings that control behaviors such as a default width of a JSON document column, in lining or not of the JSON document column, kind and scope and duration of indexing of the JSON document column, and/or caching of the JSON document column such as in an in memory columnar unit (IMCU). The DBMS may use the various configuration settings to control how JSON documents and the native JSON datatype are stored and/or processed.

  • Patent number: 11397768
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for leveraging and extending relational data sharding infrastructure to provide comprehensive support for sharding semi-structured and unstructured data, in addition to the relational data, in a single sharded database system. Specifically, techniques are described in which a catalog server pre-gathers all data it needs to answer fetches from a dynamically created temporary lob. In addition, techniques are provided in which a catalog server encodes shard identifiers in lob locators sent to the client. Techniques are provided for pushing down various operators to shard servers.

  • Patent number: 11226955
    Abstract: A “hybrid derived cache” stores semi-structured data or unstructured text data in an in-memory mirrored form and columns in another form, such as column-major format. The hybrid derived cache may cache scalar type columns in column-major format. The structure of the in-memory mirrored form of semi-structured data or unstructured text data enables and/or enhances access to perform path-based and/or text based query operations. A hybrid derived cache improves cache containment for executing query operations. The in-memory mirrored form is used to compute queries in a transactionally consistent manner through the use of an invalid vector that used to determine when to retrieve the transactionally consistent persistent form of semi-structured data or unstructured text data in lieu of the in-memory form.
