  • Patent number: 11194809
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for determining a predicted performance of a database com. A first model for a database is determined using machine learning and training data based on monitoring the database operating in a production environment. A second model for the database is determined by combining the first model and a knee of curve formula for the database. The second model is stored for use in determining the predicted performance of the database in response to a database query.

  • Patent number: 11062230
    Abstract: Embodiments for detecting data anomalies by a processor. A machine learning model may be trained according to collected scores and anomaly labels of a plurality of anomaly detection operations applied to one or more data sets such that the collected scores and labels identify a degree of accuracy of estimating anomalies for each of the plurality of anomaly detection operations. An anomaly may be detected in an unstructured data set by applying the trained machine learning model on an unstructured data set.

  • Patent number: 10776886
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for improving social media network actions is provided. The present invention may include determining a proposed action by a user and predicting a predicted influence score for the proposed action. The present invention may include identifying a prior related action in the user's social media network. The present invention may include retrieving a previously calculated average influence score for the type and user of the prior related action and applying a decay profile to the average influence score from the time of the action to a current time. The present invention may include comparing the predicted influence score with the decayed average influence score at the current time. The present invention may include posting the proposed action on the social media network at a time when the predicted influence score is greater than the decayed average influence score.

  • Publication number: 20200074267
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to concepts for spatio-temporal prediction based on one-dimensional features and two-dimensional features from diverse data sources. One embodiment comprises processing one-dimensional data matrices representative of variations of one-dimensional, 1D, feature values with a fully connected network to generate respective outputs from the fully connected network. It also comprises processing two-dimensional data matrices representative of variations of two-dimensional, 2D, feature values with a convolutional neural network to generate respective outputs from the convolutional neural network.

  • Publication number: 20160132583
    Abstract: A computing device determines a first table included in a plurality of tables, wherein the plurality of tables are included in the database. The computing device determines a dependency corresponding to the first table, wherein the dependency identifies a second table that is included in the plurality of tables. The computing device determines a distribution corresponding to the dependency, wherein the distribution identifies a correlation corresponding to the first table and to the second table. The computing device analyzes the correlation to determine a group of data values of the first table and the second table. The computing device selects a subset of data values from the group of data values. The computing device populates a sample with the subset.
