  • Generating highlight queries
    Patent number: 11500864
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for generating highlight queries. Data is analyzed using one or more schemas to identify patterns and frequencies of the patterns in the data. The patterns and the frequencies of the patterns are stored in a global patterns structure. A graph is analyzed to identify one or more of the patterns in the global patterns structure that are present in the graph and in which frequencies. The identified one or more of the patterns in the global patterns structure that are present in the graph are added to a per-user patterns structure with the frequencies of those patterns. The patterns in the per-user patterns structure are scored. A subset of the patterns in the per-user patterns structure that have scores above a threshold are selected as highlight queries. The selected subset of the patterns are executed as highlight queries to generate results, and the results are returned.
