Abstract: A data analytics and contextualization platform instance acquires an input dataset. Using fuzzy logic, the platform generates a set of contextual items based on the unstructured textual data. Items in the input dataset are labeled using contextual items. Using a labeled particular item, a set of entity behavior maps can be generated to include one or more features selected based on a first particular label of the particular item. One or more AI/ML modeling operations can be selected based on a type of the entity behavior map and performed for items in the entity behavior map. A particular first subset of AI/ML modeling operations can be performed, using a particular contextual item as a trigger, in parallel relative to a particular second subset of AI/ML modeling operations. The entity behavior map, which can be populated using outputs of the AI/ML operations, can be transmitted to a target computing system.

Abstract: A method for linking Packet Detection Rules (PDRs) for optimizing throughput of combined Serving Gateway (SGW)/Packet Gateway (PGW) architecture is disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes, determining a SGW and a PGW are co-located on a system and when the SGW and PGW are co-located on a same system then performing a Packet Forwarding Control Protocol (PFCP) session lookup for an uplink packet at the SGW; determining which PDR to use for sending the uplink traffic; using the PDR to remove any tunneling protocol header; checking the PDR to determine if the next hop is local; when the next hop is local, then finding the PGW PDRs for this FTEID; identifying a PGW PDR matching with the current packet; performing any packet encapsulation; and after performing any optional header checksum calculations, sending the packet.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of questions from a community of members. Next, the system uses a set of tags for each question and member attributes for a member of the community to calculate a relevance score representing a relevance of the question to the member. The system then combines the relevance score with additional scores for the member to obtain an overall score between the question and the member. Finally, the system ranks the set of questions by the overall scores and outputs the ranked set of questions to the member for use in obtaining answers to the set of questions from the member.
