Abstract: Provided is a process, including: obtaining a set of candidate captions associated with one or more data visualizations; obtaining criteria designating whether candidate captions are descriptive of potential instances of the one or more data visualizations; producing a plurality of simulated instances of each of the one or more data visualizations; determining which of the captions apply to each of the simulated instances of each of the one or more data visualizations based on whether the simulated instances satisfy corresponding criteria; causing captions determined to be applicable to be presented; receiving feedback indicative of whether presented captions are perceived as descriptive of the corresponding simulated instances of data visualizations; and adjusting the criteria based on the feedback.

Abstract: Provided is a process, including: receiving a command corresponding to user input to an interactive dashboard application from a user; producing in response to the command, instances of data visualizations depicting data to be visualized; generating, with a trained captioning model, one or more narrative captions determined to be descriptive of the produced instances of data visualizations, wherein the one or more narrative captions include a natural language description of a phenomenon exhibited, at least in part, by the data to be visualized and visually depicted in at least one of the produced instances of data visualizations; and causing the one or more narrative captions to be presented to the user.

Abstract: Provided is a process, including: obtaining a first identifier of a first user for whom a first presentation including a first natural language text summary of data is to be provided; selecting a first domain from among a plurality of domains based on the first identifier; selecting a first set of fields among a plurality of fields of the data based on the first domain; determining a first set of exposure-control rules based on the first set of fields of data; determining a first applicable subset of the first set exposure-control rules by comparing criteria of the first set of exposure-control rules to user attributes associated with the first identifier; generating with a trained captioning model, the first natural language text summary in the first domain of the data compliant with exposure permissions of the first applicable subset of the first set of exposure-control rules.

Abstract: Provided is a process of configuring a dashboard of a graphical user interface, the process including: obtaining identifiers of metrics; obtaining features that are properties of the metrics; accessing in a graph-effectiveness matrix effectiveness scores corresponding to the features; selecting a plurality of graphs to graphically represent the metrics in a dashboard; and instructing a computing device to display the dashboard.

Abstract: Provided is a process of conducting a collaborative session between two analytics graphical user interfaces (GUI), the process including: instructing a first computing device associated with a first user to display a first GUI having a first graph depicting a first set of values of a first metric; determining that the first graph is to be shared on a second computing device associated with a second user in a second GUI; inferring that the second user prefers to view the first metric in a second graph based on a record of previous interactions in which the second graph was selected to view the first metric; and in response, instructing the second computing device to display in the second GUI the second graph depicting at least some of the first set of values of the first metric.

Abstract: Operational event loggings and operational alarm productions within a running multiserver data processing system are automatically and repeatedly sampled and co-associated with one another so as to build annotated logs that can be used by post-process analytics for filling in mappings thereof into an anomalies versus parameters mapping space and for keeping track of unusual changes in the mappings or their rates where the unusual changes can be indicative of emerging new problems of significance within the system.

Abstract: In a data-handling machine system which has data originating and replicating units (e.g., smartphones) configured to allow users to create or replicate and transmit voluminous amounts of data (e.g., emails) on a recipients-targeting basis to large numbers of recipients, a communications constraining mechanism is provided which intercepts emails (or other forms of recipients-targeting communications), classifies the communications, categorizes the targeted recipients and then based on the classifications and categorizations, generates recommendations on whether to block or let through as is the intercepted communications to their intended recipients.

Abstract: A method for layered overview visualization of an IT environment having nodes and links related to the nodes, comprising initializing the layered overview visualization by establishing a number of hierarchical levels, combining the nodes and the links related to the nodes into a plurality of elements based on one of function and type, for each hierarchical level, assigning one or more of the plurality of elements to the level in accordance with one of the function and the type and determining overlap of the assigned elements. The method further comprises navigating the layered overview visualization by selecting a view, selecting a level of the hierarchical levels within the selected view, choosing the overlap of one or more of the assigned elements in the selected level and highlighting the chosen elements, and displaying on a screen the selected level and the highlighted chosen elements in the selected level.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method may include providing a representation of each of a plurality of nodes of an information technology (IT) environment to a plurality of administrators responsible for maintaining the IT environment. A plurality of scores for each of two or more of the plurality of nodes may be received. Each score may provide an assessment of a respective node of the plurality of nodes. One or more display characteristics may be determined for each node for which one or more scores was received.

Abstract: A system and method for visualization of an infrastructure is presented. The system comprises a non-relational graph data store caching data from one or more of a relational or non-relational data store, a graph visualization software operable to perform the visualization of the infrastructure using the cached data in the non-relational graph data store, and a graph database operable to implement analytic queries available to the graph visualization software through an exposed Application Program Interface. In one aspect, the graph database collects the cached data from the one or more relational or non-relational graph data stores. In one aspect, the cached data comprises nodes representing elements of the infrastructure, and links representing relationships among the nodes. In one aspect, the infrastructure is an IT infrastructure.
