  • Patent number: 12379902
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a directed graph of a self-executing protocol, the directed graph including a set of vertices associated with mutually exclusive category labels, where the self-executing protocol identifies a first entity. The method may include obtaining a first graph portion template that includes a vertex template and an edge template. The vertex template is associated with a category of the mutually exclusive category labels. The method may include determining whether the first graph portion template matches a graph portion in the directed graph and an edge of the directed graph matching the edge template. The method may include determining an outcome score based on the graph portion template matching the graph portion, determining whether the outcome score satisfies an outcome score threshold, and storing a value indicating that the outcome score satisfies the outcome score threshold.

  • Patent number: 12339904
    Abstract: A method includes determining a set of features associated with a set of vertices of a directed graph, obtaining a set of feature values associated with the set of vertices, where each respective vertex of set of vertices is associated with a respective subset of feature values. The method includes determining updatable features based on the set of features, selecting a first subset of features based on the set of updatable features. Selecting the first subset of features includes determining candidate subsets of features, determining feature subset scores associated with the candidate subsets of features based on a category label, and selecting the first subset of features based on the feature subset scores. The method includes performing a first operation to determine extracted feature values by determining feature extraction input values.

The method also includes deserializing the serialized array of vertices to generate a directed graph and determining a set of triggered vertices based on the directed graph and the event. Each of the set of triggered vertices is indicated as triggerable and is associated with a norm condition that is triggered by the event. The method includes updating the directed graph by updating a norm status associated with the triggered vertices and updating child vertices of the triggered vertices. The method includes updating the serialized array of vertices by serializing the updated directed graph and persisting the serialized array of vertices to a storage of the computer system.
