  • Patent number: 9304809
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for processing events in an event stream using a map-update application. The events may be embodied as a key-attribute pair. An event is processed by one or more instances implementing either a map or an update function. A map function receives an input event from the event stream and publishes one or more events to the event stream. An update function receives an event and updates a corresponding slate and publishes zero or more events. Systems and methods are also disclosed herein for implementing a map-update application in a multithreaded architecture and for handling overloading of a particular thread or node. Systems and methods for providing access to slates updated according to update operations are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8880515
    Abstract: Determining one or more concepts associated with a query is disclosed. A query is received. A list of concepts and associated scores is received. The concepts fit within a concept hierarchy. A density function is used to evaluate the received concepts. One or more concepts are associated with the query based at least in part on the results of the density function.

  • Publication number: 20140059185
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments allow performance of stream computations on real-time data streams using one or more map operations and/or one or more update operations. A map operation is a stream computation in which stream events in one or more real-time data streams are processed in a real-time manner to generate zero, one or more new stream events. An update operation is a stream computation in which stream events in one or more real-time data streams are processed in a real-time manner to create or update one or more static “slate” data structures that are stored in a durable manner.
