  • Patent number: 11936747
    Abstract: Techniques for establishing a network connection with a client device and responding to composite requests from the client device. For a composite request identifying a first action associated with a first data plugin component and a second action associated with a different second data plugin component, the first action is performed by executing a first portion of the data plugin component and transmitting corresponding response data in a first transmission to the client device via the network connection, and the second action is performed by executing a second portion of the data plugin component and transmitting corresponding response data in a second transmission separate from the first transmission to the client device via the network connection.

  • Patent number: 11720456
    Abstract: A secondary location is configured as a recovery service for a primary location of the service. The secondary location is maintained in a warm state that is configured to replace the primary location in a case of a failover. During normal operation, the secondary location is automatically updated to reflect a current state of the primary location that is actively servicing user load. Content changes to the primary location are automatically reflected to the secondary location. System changes applied to the primary location are automatically applied to the secondary location. For example, removing/adding machines, updating machine/role assignments, removing adding/database are automatically applied to the secondary location such that the secondary location substantially mirrors the primary location. After a failover to the secondary location, the secondary location becomes the primary location and begins to actively service the user load.

  • Patent number: 11652776
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing notification delivery based on utilization of bloom filters are provided. A collaboration system obtains subscriber information for each user of a collaboration system, whereby the subscriber information corresponds to one or more features of content that are relevant to each user. The collaboration system hashes the subscriber information to generate a bloom filter for each user. The collaboration system receives an article to be published, whereby the article comprises a set of features. The set of features is hashed to obtain a hash set. The hashing of the set of features is performed using same hashing functions as that used to generate the bloom filter. The collaboration system compares the hash set to the bloom filter to identify a match, whereby the match indicates a feature of the article matches the subscriber information. The collaboration system generates a list of recipients based on the match.

  • Patent number: 11586662
    Abstract: Extracting and surfacing information corresponding to individual logical topics from enterprise data stores that are separated across multiple geographic regions. A clustering service creates, by utilizing machine learning toolkits that are agnostic to the region in which data is stored, individual topics that have references to multiple shards of data that are stored in different geographic regions. The clustering service also shards the knowledge base state according to the regions from which pieces of data for the particular logical topic was extracted. For example, a first shard containing information extracted from a first document may be stored in a first region whereas a second shard containing information extracted from a second document may be stored in a second region.

  • Publication number: 20220342871
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for cross-provider topic conflation. In aspects, a request relating to one or more topics may be received by a content surfacing platform. One or more data sources of multiple content providers may be searched for documents relating to the topic(s). Document content (e.g., document metadata and sentences, phrases, and other word content within the document) relating to the topic(s) may be extracted from the documents of the various content providers. The document content may be classified and/or separated into subparts. The subparts may be clustered and/or conflated by topic, thereby removing duplicated data while preserving the unique information in each subpart. The conflated topics may be stored in a single knowledge base, such as an enterprise knowledge graph, and/or presented in response to the request.
