  • Publication number: 20220284350
    Abstract: Training query intents are allocated for multiple training entities into training time intervals in a time series based on a corresponding query intent time for each training query intent. Training performance results for the multiple training entities are allocated into the training time intervals in the time series based on a corresponding performance time of each training performance result. A machine learning model for a training milestone of the time series is trained based on the training query intents allocated to a training time interval prior to the training milestone and the training performance results allocated to a training time interval after the training milestone. Target performance for the target entity for an interval after a target milestone in the time series is predicted by inputting to the trained machine learning model target query intents allocated to the target entity in a target time interval before the target milestone.

  • Patent number: 11411721
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a distributed transaction system including a group of validator nodes that are known to each other in a network but are indistinguishable to other network nodes. The validator nodes form a Committee including a Leader node and one or more Associate nodes. The Committee may be dynamically changed, such that new network nodes may be added to the Committee or may replace existing validator nodes. The Associate nodes also may coordinate with each other to select a new Leader node. The disclosed embodiments reduce the distributed system's reliance on the stability of any particular node(s) in the network, as the validator nodes in the Committee may be changed at a sufficient frequency to remove unreliable, unavailable, or otherwise untrusted nodes. Further, the disclosed embodiments provide a scheme that helps ensure the Leader node, as well as the other Committee members, functions properly.
