  • Patent number: 11074229
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for a distributed read-only database service are disclosed. Using a read-only database service, one or more host groups are selected from a plurality of available host groups in a distributed system. The one or more host groups are selected for a particular dataset based at least in part on a size of the dataset and on a transaction rate for the dataset. The selected one or more host groups comprise one or more hosts comprising storage resources. A read-only database comprising elements of the dataset is generated. The read-only database is deployed to the storage resources of the one or more host groups in the distributed system. The one or more host groups are configured to serve a plurality of read requests from clients for the elements of the read-only database.

  • Patent number: 10410125
    Abstract: A recommendation system uses artificial intelligence to identify, based on negative sentiment cues from users, item attributes, such as keywords, that users may find offensive or undesirable. The negative sentiment cues may be explicit (e.g., a user selects an option not to view a particular recommendation again), implicit (e.g., a user does not interact with recommendations relating to an attribute), or both. The system may use a computer model generated based on these identified attributes to filter or modify recommendations to a user or group of users. For instance, if a particular keyword is identified as highly offensive to a group of users, items associated with the keyword may be filtered from item recommendations presented to the group of users. If an attribute is identified as moderately offensive to a user, items associated with the attribute may be down-weighted in item recommendations presented to the user.
