  • Publication number: 20260140952
    Abstract: Follow ups to user queries are generated in text-to-database query conversion services based on context provided by generated database queries and/or database query execution results. A query generation service extracts an entity type(s) from a database query generated from a user query and, if applicable, from the execution results. The query generation service retrieves a user query template(s) and corresponding database query template(s) for a same table of a target database as the database query and have parameters of the same types as the extracted entity type(s). The query generation service populates the parameter(s) of each user query template and database query template with an entity name(s) that correspond to the entity type(s) and were extracted from the database query and/or database query execution result. The populated user query templates are provided in response to the user query as follow up queries.

  • Publication number: 20260030241
    Abstract: A pipeline performs automated generation of database queries for a database and corresponding questions comprising natural language text. The pipeline generates database query templates based at least partly on a schema of the database and populates the query templates based on values identified from the records sampled from the database to generate valid database queries. The pipeline then generates abstract representations of each of the generated database queries and, for each abstracted database query, prompts a language model to generate a corresponding question in natural language. The pipeline prompts another language model to evaluate similarity of each abstracted database query and corresponding natural language question. The natural language questions and database queries associated with the corresponding abstractions that are sufficiently similar are provided for use.

  • Publication number: 20250348762
    Abstract: A knowledge base is built, maintained, and utilized for responding to user queries. The knowledge base is populated with queries and corresponding answers that have been generated based on prompting a foundation model with documents included in a datastore used for RAG. Embeddings of the queries are generated and stored in the knowledge base with their corresponding query-answer pairs. To manage changes to the documents in the datastore, updates, deletions, and/or additions to documents in the datastore are periodically identified, and the query-answer pairs that are associated with changes to documentation can be updated accordingly. As a support service receives user queries, the support service searches the knowledge base for queries that are sufficiently similar to the user query based on comparing the associated embeddings. The support service generates a response to the user query based on the answer that corresponds to the most similar query in the knowledge base.

  • Patent number: 12432225
    Abstract: Detection of malicious files is disclosed. A set comprising a plurality of sample classification models is received and stored. A determination is made that n-gram analysis should be performed on a sequence of received packets associated with a received file. Performing the n-gram analysis includes using a determined filetype associated with the sequence of received packets to select at least one stored sample classification model included in the set for use in performing the n-gram analysis. A determination is made that the received file is malicious based at least in part on the n-gram analysis of the sequence of received packets. In response to determining that the file is malicious, propagation of the received file is prevented.
