Abstract: A method including transforming metrics, related to a computer network environment, into a digital image including pixels that represent the metrics. The computer network environment initially is load balanced by a first load balancing scheme selected from among load balancing schemes. The method also includes generating a classification of the digital image. The method also includes selecting, based on the classification of the digital image, a selected load balancing scheme from among the load balancing schemes. The method also includes changing the first load balancing scheme to the selected load balancing scheme such that the selected load balancing scheme is applied to the computer network environment.

Abstract: A method models and manages affinity networks. The method includes receiving real-time transaction data; processing a transaction of the real-time transaction data to identify a source node and a target node of a graph; and processing the transaction to update an affinity score of an edge from the source node to the target node. The method further includes receiving a request; selecting, responsive to the request, the target node using the affinity score after updating the affinity score; and presenting a response using the target node.

Abstract: A method secures hash chains via hybrid consensus. A proximate payload for a proximate chain block for a proximate chain is obtained. A first identifier of the proximate chain and the proximate payload are hashed with a hash function to generate a second identifier of the proximate chain. The proximate chain block is added to the proximate chain. The proximate chain block includes the first identifier, the second identifier, and the proximate payload. A request to add the second identifier to a reporting chain is transmitted. A response indicating that the second identifier is incorporated into the reporting chain using the consensus mechanism is received.

Abstract: A method for using shareable and nested transaction on hash chains includes storing transaction data of a transaction of a hash chain. A lock block is appended to the hash chain. Appending the lock block includes setting a tail block identifier of the hash chain from a preceding tail block of a preceding transaction to the lock block. A data block is appended to the hash chain. Appending the data block includes setting the tail block identifier of the hash chain to the data block. The method further includes removing the transaction data from the transaction without invalidating the hash chain. The method further includes appending an updated data block to the hash chain to update the transaction with updated transaction data.

Abstract: A method implements anonymous uncensorable cryptographic chains. The method includes receiving, from a first application, verifiable data for a current record and unverified data for the current record. The unverified data for the current record was received by the first application from a second application. The method further includes verifying the verifiable data for the current record with unverified data from a previous record. The method further includes recording the verifiable data for the current record and the unverified data for the current record to the current record responsive to verifying the verifiable data for the current record. The method further includes presenting the current record to one or more of the first application and to the second application.

Abstract: A method extracts explainable corpora embeddings. The method includes constructing a graph with nodes representing terms from a text sequence and edges that include pointwise values generated between pairs of terms. The method further includes generating a rank vector from the graph. Elements of the rank vector correspond to the edges of the graph. A rank value, of the rank values, corresponds to a term from the text sequence. The method further includes selecting the term by comparing the rank vector to a previous rank vector generated for a previous text sequence.

Abstract: A method converts from compressed language to natural language. The method includes receiving an element string. The element string is in a compressed language format and is extracted from a document in a structured document language. The method includes tokenizing the element string to form multiple element tokens, generating a token set from the element tokens, and generating a name string from multiple token sets. The name string is in a natural language format.

Abstract: A method optimizes questions to retain engagement. The method includes generating, using a machine learning model, a churn risk from user interaction data. The method includes selecting, when the churn risk satisfies a threshold, a field, from multiple fields, using multiple prediction confidences corresponding to multiple prediction values generated for the multiple fields. The method includes obtaining a prediction value for the field and obtaining a question, corresponding to the field, using the prediction value. The method includes presenting the question and receiving a user input in response to the question.

Abstract: A method uses private information with a shared single source of truth. A message is received responsive to adding a first shared block to a shared object ledger of a shared object. The message includes message data. A private block is added to a private object ledger to update a private object. The private block includes private data from the message data. A second shared block is added to the shared object ledger to update the shared object. The second shared block includes shared data from the message data.

Abstract: A method implements verifiable cacheable calculations. A result is calculated. The result is hashed to generate a name of the result. The result is an input of a set of inputs from which the name is generated. Each input of the set of inputs identifies one of a data set, a query, and a function. The result is stored in a cache using the name generated from hashing the result. A request is received to access the result using the name. The result is retrieved from the cache using the name generated from hashing the result corresponding to the input. The result is presented in response to the request.

Abstract: A method services competing updates from multiple servicing instances. An update message is received by a class of a plurality of classes that service an object. The update message includes an update to the object and an expected version for the object. A version match is determined between the expected version and a current version of the object. When the version match is successful, the update is applied to the object. A response message including the current version of the object is generated. The response message is transmitted. When the update is successfully applied, the response message is transmitted as a success message. When the update is not successfully applied, the response message is transmitted as a failure message.

Abstract: A method for storing object state on hash chains. A block of a hash chain is located with an accessor function. The block includes a field value of a field of an object. Version data is located using the block. The version data identifies a block version of the block. The block version is compared to a function version of the accessor function. The field value from the block is returned when the block version matches the function version. A version matched accessor function is called to return the field value when the block version does not match the function version.
