  • Publication number: 20250384664
    Abstract: An example operation may include at least one of converting an annotated dataset loaded from a storage into a first set of latents, converting a non-annotated dataset loaded from the storage into a second set of latents creating an aligned subset of data from the annotated dataset comprising: clustering the first set of latents into a plurality of clusters, determining a discrepancy score for each cluster in the plurality of clusters and the second set of latents, creating a refined subset of data from the annotated dataset by including at least one data from each cluster of the plurality of clusters, wherein adding the at least one data lowers the discrepancy score of the refined subset of data and the second set of latents, determining a similarity score between latents in the first set of latents and the second set of latents, wherein the aligned subset of data is created from the annotated dataset by parsing the refined subset into pairs of latents and for each of the pairs of latents, including a latent

  • Patent number: 11086845
    Abstract: Techniques for database versioning are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a database change management component operative to compare a developer table to a reference table to determine a database change set, wherein both the developer table and the reference table are based on a target table; a database conflict management component operative to compare the database change set to the target table to determine a conflicting change set; and a user interface component operative to display the conflicting change set where the conflicting change set comprises one or more conflicting changes; and indicate a conflict-free change set where the conflicting change set is empty. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
