Publication number: 20230176923Abstract: The invention provides methods, systems and computer program products for job management and for allocating resources for cloud based or remote device based job processing. The invention provides a scalable architecture for job management and for allocating resources for cloud based or remote device based job processing comprising a job manager machine, having a resource pool of secondary job manager machines assigned thereto. The job manager machine has a resource pool of computing machines assigned thereto—comprising at least a gateway machine and a non-gateway machine. Received jobs or computing tasks are selectively transmitted to one of the gateway machine and the non-gateway machine. Each of the gateway machine and the non-gateway machine are configured to respond differently to forwarded job or computing task.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Alok Kumar Sinha, Rajeev Prasad

Patent number: 8886589Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-storage media for generating and providing knowledge content to users utilizing a web architecture that integrates information across data silos through a common, flexible data storage schema, such as a star or snowflake schema, are provided. Data from a content graph, a user activity graph, a social graph, and temporal data as it relates to each of the content graph, the social graph and the user activity graph, is stored in a knowledge content database utilizing the star schema. In this way, data from each of these formerly disparate sources may be accessed from a common, extensible application platform utilizing ontologies and pivot table functionality, thus providing smarter, more comprehensive knowledge in response to received user queries.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Arungunram Chandrasekaran Surendran, Tarek Najm, Phani Vaddadi, Rajeev Prasad, Siva Mohan

Patent number: 8583673Abstract: Review and filtering of search results is facilitated by providing additional types of results beyond links to existing documents can be provided in addition to or in place of links to existing documents. These additional results can facilitate modifying a search request to filter out unwanted documents. The additional results, when in the form of content display objects and/or application display objects, can also provide the user with varying levels of information detail. In some preferred embodiments, an ontology based knowledge base can be leveraged in order to facilitate providing and filtering the results.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Najm Tarek, Phani K Vaddadi, Rajeev Prasad, Viswanath Vadlamani, Eric Schoonover

Patent number: 8214369Abstract: A method and system are provided for selecting advertisements for presentation to a user in response to a user search query. The system may include a keyword server for parsing the user search query and an index server for receiving the parsed search query. The index server may include an index of advertising phrases and pre-filtering components for comparing index entries to the parsed user search query in order to discard non-matching index entries and locate matching entries. The pre-filtering components may include either a phrase length pre-filtering component or a word hash pre-filtering component. The system may additionally include a listing server for sorting through the matching entries located by the index server and further filtering the matching entries for retrieval and presentation to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2004Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian Burdick, Joshua J.

Publication number: 20110302149Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-storage media for identifying dominant concepts are provided. The system includes a search engine connected to various sources, an entity extraction component, a metabase, and a ranking component. The search engine receives a contextual query and provides results in response to the contextual query. The entity extraction component parses the results and identifies entities included in the results. The metabase provides a distance between the entities included in the results and the query terms included in the contextual query. The ranking component ranks the entities based on the provided distance and selects dominant concepts within the results based on the ranks assigned to entities.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2010Publication date: December 8, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: VISWANATH VADLAMANI, TAREK NAJM, ABHINAI SRIVASTAVA, MUNIRATHNAM SRIKANTH, ARUNGUNRAM CHANDRASEKARAN SURENDRAN, RAJEEV PRASAD

Publication number: 20110258032Abstract: Advertisements are selected for presentation on a search results page based on the presence or absence of user activity within the search results page. When a search results page is provided to an end user, the search results page is tracked for user activity. If user activity is detected, a user context is identified and new advertisements are selected for presentation on the search results page based on the user context. In some embodiments, the search results page provides search results in clusters, and the user context corresponds with a search result cluster selected by an end user. In some embodiments, dominant concepts in the user context are identified and used to select advertisements. Alternatively, if user activity is not detected within a predetermined period of time, new advertisements are selected based on the absence of user activity within the search results page.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2010Publication date: October 20, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: VISWANATH VADLAMANI, ABHINAI SRIVASTAVA, TAREK NAJM, ARUNGUNRAM CHANDRASEKARAN SURENDRAN, RAJEEV PRASAD, MAHBUBUL ALAM ALI
