Patent number: 11630755Abstract: Request flow log retrieval can include extracting one or more keywords from a natural language description of an action, the action being a system response to a user request submitted to a resource-provisioning system during a user session. Request flow log retrieval can also include determining a classification of the action based on a correlation value generated by a classifier model trained using machine learning to classify actions performed by the resource-provisioning system, the classification based on the one or more keywords. Additionally, request flow log retrieval can include automatically identifying a request flow associated with the action based on the classification of the action and returning at least one system log entry corresponding to the request flow.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Timo Kußmaul, Uwe K.

Patent number: 11403354Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing search queries of a search service. A first search query is received from a client application and executed by a search service. A content item of a search query type of a search index of the search service is provided as a first search result of the first search query. A search query with a user-defined search specification provided by the first search result is automatically executed as a second search query and one or more content items of the search index are provided as a second search result of the second search query by the search service.

Patent number: 11307959Abstract: A computer-implemented method for consolidating log file entries may be provided. The method comprises receiving a first log file and a second log file, determining a first characterizing feature set of a first log file entry of the first log file and a second characterizing feature set of a second log file entry of the second log file, and determining a correlation factor value of a correlation between the first log file entry and the second log file entry by classifying a relationship of the first log file entry and the second log file entry using the characterizing feature sets. The method further comprises upon determining that the correlation factor value is above a predetermined correlation factor threshold value, determining that the first log file entry and the second log file entry relate to each other and belong to a same action flow.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Uwe K.

Patent number: 11244007Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automatically adapting a search configuration of a search engine of a search service based on repeatedly occurring events. The method comprises monitoring configuration changes applied to the search configuration, detecting events using time series and determining associations between the configuration changes applied and events detected. For the events, a likelihood of an occurrence of the respective event within a predefined time frame is calculated and, if the likelihood exceeds a predefined threshold, the search configuration is automatically adapted in anticipation of the respective event according to configuration changes associated with the event.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timo Kussmaul, Uwe K.

Patent number: 11210352Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automatically checking configuration changes intended to be applied to a search configuration. of a search engine of a search service. The method comprises creating a test search configuration, which comprises a copy of the search configuration. The intended configuration changes are applied to the copy of the search configuration. A set of sample documents and a set of test search queries are provided. The test search queries are executed on the set of sample documents using the test search configuration and performance indicators are determined for the execution. If the performance indicators satisfy a predefined criterion, the intended configuration changes are accepted for application to the search configuration.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timo Kussmaul, Uwe K.

Patent number: 11176134Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automatically implementing one or more improved navigation paths between content items provided by a content management system. The content management system comprises a search service with a search monitoring component configured for monitoring search queries issued by a client application and for determining navigation paths used by a user of the client application for navigating between content items searched for by the monitored first search queries. The search service further comprises a navigation optimization component configured for determining improved navigation paths using the navigation paths determined by the search monitoring component. The navigation optimization component creates additional navigations which directly link a start content item and a target content item. The additional navigation path is assigned to be provided to the client application for display as part of a search query result.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timo Kussmaul, Uwe K.

Patent number: 11085785Abstract: A system for programming an intended geographical destination into a global positioning system enabled vehicle navigation system is provided. The system includes a navigation board with a surface comprising a symbol at a position of an RFID tag representing a geographical destination. The system includes a vehicle key comprising an RFID tag reader adapted for a wireless reading of an identifier value of the RFID tag if the vehicle key is in proximity of the RFID tag. The vehicle key can store and memorize the RFID tag identifier value. The system includes a vehicle navigation system including a receiver for receiving the identifier value stored in the vehicle key if the vehicle key is in an activation mode for the vehicle such that the vehicle navigation system is programmed with the geographical destination represented by the at least one RFID tag of the navigation board.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas Stober, Uwe K.
