  • Patent number: 10671603
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing an auto-query construction operation for use with a distributed analytics operation. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the auto-query construction operation provides automatically generates SQL code instructions via an auto-query construction user interface (UI) settings in a computational system, such as the Dell Statistica computational system. The auto-query construction operation allows a user to interact with a common interface to provide query information including decision variables, parameters of an analysis and convergence criteria. The query information provided via the UI is automatically transformed to database queries and subsequent computation system operations. Thus, the user experience remains intact whether the analytics is performed in database or within the computation system.

  • Patent number: 10649973
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a distributed analytics operation. The distributed analytics operation uses interface technologies to de-couple an actual data storage technology from an implementation of distributed analytics. Such a distributed analytics operation obviates requirements to deploy specific computer code onto a data storage platform to specifically target that platform for distributed predictive analytics computations.

  • Patent number: 10467226
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing in-database operations, comprising: presenting an automation interface to a user, the user interface automation interface enabling a user to select one or more key performance indicators; instantiating an in-database processing operation, the in-database processing operation performing feature selection from a high dimensional parameter space; executing at least one database statement within the storage system to derive a subset of diagnostic parameters from the high dimensional parameter space.

  • Publication number: 20180025276
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing an analytics workflow generation operation. The analytics workflow generation operation enables generation of targeted analytics workflows (e.g., via a data scientist (i.e., an expert in data modeling)) that are then published to a workflow storage repository so that the targeted analytics workflows can be used by domain experts and self-service business end-users to solve specific classes of analytics operations.
