  • Publication number: 20250103578
    Abstract: In one example, a system can receive information about a tabular data structure in a memory including a set of data and a first memory allocation. The system can determine a type of the tabular data structure, the type selected from among two types including a native type and a non-native type. The system can, in response to the type being the native type, identify a first proxy data table usable as a proxy for the tabular data structure that shares the first memory allocation. The system can receive a first indication to access the set of data from application code. The system can issue one or more first read commands to the first proxy data table to cause the set of data to be read from the tabular data structure.

  • Publication number: 20250103579
    Abstract: In one example, a system can receive, from application code including an analysis operation performed on a set of data, an indication to access the set of data included in a tabular data structure using an application programming interface (API), in which the tabular data structure is associated with a memory allocation and a type. The system can determine that the type of the tabular data structure is the native type, the native type characterizing data structures that are accessed using a first programming language and a second programming language. The system can identify a proxy data table that shares the memory allocation, the proxy data table accessed using the API based on the second programming language. The system can issue one or more read commands to the proxy data table to cause the set of data to be read from the tabular data structure.

  • Patent number: 12141138
    Abstract: In one example, a system can receive information about a data structure including a set of data entries. The system can generate a proxy data table including a set of columns. The system can use a data access layer to generate a mapping from the data entries to the columns. The system can receive an input to cause an operation to be performed on the data structure by performing the operation on the data structure. Generating a result can involve issuing read commands to the data access layer to perform the operation on the data structure such that the data access layer obtains the associated data entries and provides them as responses to the read commands by performing a translation between the data entries and the columns based on the mapping. The system can then output the result of the operation.

  • Patent number: 12111750
    Abstract: Parameter values in source code can be automatically validated using the techniques described herein. For example, a system can receive source code that includes a call to an action. The action can have a parameter that is set to a selected value in the source code. The parameter can be defined in definition data. The system can also receive a file that separate from the source code and includes metadata for the parameter. The system can extract the metadata from the file and modify the definition data to include the metadata. The system can then execute a validation process on the selected value for the parameter. The validation process can involve retrieving the metadata from the modified definition data, evaluating the selected value using the metadata to determine whether the selected value is invalid, and if it is invalid, outputting an error notification indicating that the selected value is invalid.

  • Publication number: 20240296121
    Abstract: A method and controller for operating a memory system in communication with a host. The method and controller logically arrange a sequence of reclaim sub-groups within a memory device. The method and controller process the reclaim sub-groups according to the sequence to control the memory device to perform garbage collection on the reclaim sub-groups in the memory device. In the sequence, the reclaim sub-groups are processed during the garbage collection such that at least one re-ordered data sequence in the sequence of the reclaim sub-groups being processed has re-ordered valid data that is not clumped.

  • Patent number: 11151480
    Abstract: A visualization is presented while tuning a machine learning model. A model tuning process writes tuning data to a history table. The model tuning process is repeatedly training and scoring a model type with different sets of values of hyperparameters defined based on the model type. An objective function value is computed for each set of values of the hyperparameters. Data stored in the history table is accessed and used to identify the hyperparameters. (A) A page template is selected from page templates that describe graphical objects presented in the display. (B) The page template is updated with the accessed data. (C) The display is updated using the updated page template. (D) At the end of a refresh time period, new data stored in the history table by the model tuning process is accessed. (E) (B) through (D) are repeated with the accessed data replaced with the accessed new data.

  • Publication number: 20210264287
    Abstract: Tuned hyperparameter values are determined for training a machine learning model. When a selected hyperparameter configuration does not satisfy a linear constraint, if a projection of the selected hyperparameter configuration is included in a first cache that stores previously computed projections is determined. When the projection is included in the first cache, the projection is extracted from the first cache using the selected hyperparameter configuration, and the selected hyperparameter configuration is replaced with the extracted projection in the plurality of hyperparameter configurations. When the projection is not included in the first cache, a projection computation for the selected hyperparameter configuration is assigned to a session. A computed projection is received from the session for the selected hyperparameter configuration.
