  • Patent number: 11151196
    Abstract: Validating revisions of digital content managed by a content management system can include determining a quality metric value, the value indicating coverage of the digital content by a set of training data used to train a ranking model for ranking responses to search queries of the digital content. Additionally, content validation can include invoking a ranking editor in response to the quality metric value deviating from a predetermined threshold by more than a predetermined amount. Content validation can further include extending the set of training data using the interactive ranking editor.

  • Patent number: 11016814
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to selecting a service instance in a service infrastructure. In some embodiments, a method includes sending, by a service registry, a status request to each service instance of a plurality of service instances, where the service registry maintains a data store of performance information associated each of the service instances. The method further includes receiving, by the service registry, a plurality of status responses, where each status response is received from a respective service instance of the plurality service instances, and where each status response includes one or more performance characteristics. The method further includes ranking, by the service registry, the service instances based at least in part on the one or more performance characteristics. The method further includes performing, by the service registry, service lookups based on the ranking.

  • Patent number: 10838769
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to finding a service in a service infrastructure. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a service lookup request, where the service lookup request includes an application program interface (API) specification for a service to be invoked, where the API specification defines at least one target input parameter and at least one target output parameter. The method further includes searching for at least one service that has an API specification that corresponds to the API specification included in the service lookup request. The method further includes determining a sequence of services if no service is found that has an API specification that corresponds to the API specification included in the service lookup request, where services of the sequence of services include API specifications that, in combination, correspond to the API specification included in the service lookup request; and invoking the services of the sequence of services.
