  • Patent number: 11157528
    Abstract: Aspects include querying, by a processing system, a workflow database for a desired target entity. The processing system traverses a dependency graph that defines one or more entity and action sequences of a workflow that result in creating the desired target entity based at least in part on failing to locate the desired target entity in the workflow database. The workflow can be a bioinformatics workflow to analyze one or more digital representations of biological data. The processing system queries the workflow database to determine an entity existence status of each entity in the one or more entity and action sequences. The processing system schedules execution of an associated action that outputs each entity identified as non-existent based at least in part on the entity existence status and the one or more entity and action sequences to create the desired target entity.

  • Patent number: 11095621
    Abstract: An approach for securing sensitive information in communication data is provided. In an embodiment, communication data is received from an ongoing communication (e.g., phone conversation, exchange of text messages, etc.) between a user and at least one other person. Contextual input is derived based on the content of the communication data and historical data from one or more external sources. A sensitivity index score for each element (e.g., portion) of the communication data is derived based on an assessment of the contextual input. The elements of the communication data having a sensitivity index score greater than a predefined threshold value are deemed to be security sensitive and, therefore, are encoded prior to transmission to its intended recipient.
