  • Publication number: 20240152495
    Abstract: Methods and systems are configured to determine a semantic meaning for data and generate data processing rules based on the semantic meaning of the data. The semantic meaning includes syntactical or contextual meaning for the data that is determined, for example, by profiling, by the data processing system, values stored in a field included in data records of one or more datasets; applying, by the data processing system, one or more classifiers to the profiled values; identifying, based on applying the one or more classifiers, one or more attributes indicative of a logical or syntactical characteristic for the values of the field, with each of the one or more attributes having a respective confidence level that is based on an output of each of the one or more classifiers. The attributes are associated with the fields and are used for generating data processing rules and processing the data.

  • Publication number: 20240095219
    Abstract: Techniques for discovering semantic meaning of data in fields included in one or more data sets, the method including: a first field having a previously-assigned label that indicates a semantic meaning of the first field; identifying a set of one or more candidate labels, for potential assignment to the first field instead of the previously-assigned label; evaluating, using a previously-determined label score and a first candidate label score, whether to assign a first candidate label to the first field, the evaluating comprising: when the first candidate label score is at least a first threshold amount greater than a previously-determined label score, presenting the first candidate label to a user by generating an interface through which the user can provide input indicating whether to assign the first candidate label to the first field instead of the previously-determined label.

  • Patent number: 11888752
    Abstract: Techniques for using application network requirements and/or telemetry information from a first networking technology to enhance operation of a second networking technology and optimize wide area network traffic are described herein. The techniques may include establishing a communication network for use by applications of a scalable application service platform, the communication network including a first networking technology and a second networking technology. In this way, a request to establish a connection for use by an application may be received by the first networking technology. The request may include an indication of a threshold service level of the connection. In response to the request, the first networking technology may determine whether the second networking technology is capable of hosting the connection.

  • Publication number: 20230344707
    Abstract: Techniques for an Application Programming Interface (API) gateway to workload placement and load balancing in a distributed system. The API gateway may route API requests, responses, and so forth, via a plurality of paths between the API gateway, API endpoint devices and API client devices. The API gateway may collect the path properties for the plurality of paths between itself, and the client devices and API endpoints. Additionally, or alternatively, the API gateway may collect process properties indicating the statistics of specific processes. Using this data, the API gateway may determine that a particular path, a particular process, etc., has experienced performance degradation. The API gateway may further determine, and perform, a remedial action to take to remedy the performance degradation of the path or processes.
