Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer products are herein provided for lazy evaluation of input data by a machine learning (ML) framework. An ML pipeline receives input data and compiles a chain of operators into a chain of dataviews configured for lazy evaluation of the input data. Each dataview in the chain represents a computation over data as a non-materialized view of the data. The ML pipeline receives a request for column data and selects a chain of delegates comprising one or more delegates for one or more dataviews in the chain to fulfill the request. The ML pipeline processes the input data with the selected chain of delegates. The ML pipeline performs delegate chaining on a dataview. A feature value for a feature column of the dataview is determined based on the delegate chaining and provided to an ML algorithm to predict column data.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a machine learning framework that enables developers to author and deploy machine learning pipelines into their applications regardless of the programming language in which the applications are structured. The framework may provide a programming language-specific API that enables the application to call a plurality of operators provided by the framework. The framework provides any number of APIs, each for a different programming language. The pipeline generated via the application is represented as an execution graph comprising node(s), where each node represents a particular operator. When a pipeline is submitted for execution, calls to the operators are detected, and nodes corresponding to the operators are generated for the execution graph.

Abstract: An efficient, streaming-based, lazily-evaluated machine learning (ML) framework is provided. An ML pipeline of operators produce and consume a chain of dataviews representing a computation over data. Non-materialized (e.g., virtual) views of data in dataviews permit efficient, lazy evaluation of data on demand regardless of size (e.g., in excess of main memory). Data may be materialized by DataView cursors (e.g., movable windows over rows of an input dataset or DataView). Computation and data movement may be limited to rows for active columns without processing or materializing unnecessary data. A chain of dataviews may comprise a chain of delegates that reference a chain of functions. Assembled pipelines of schematized compositions of operators may be validated and optimized with efficient execution plans. A compiled chain of functions may be optimized and executed in a single call. Dataview based ML pipelines may be developed, trained, evaluated and integrated into applications.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to methods and systems for performing neural network computations on encrypted data. Encrypted data is received from a user. The encrypted data is encrypted with an encryption scheme that allows for computations on the ciphertext to generate encrypted results data. Neural network computations are performed on the encrypted data, using approximations of neural network functions to generate encrypted neural network results data from encrypted data. The approximations of neural network functions can approximate activation functions, where the activation functions are approximated using polynomial expressions. The encrypted neural network results data are communicated to the user associated with the encrypted data such that the user decrypts the encrypted data based on the encryption scheme. The functionality of the neural network system can be provided using a cloud computing platform that supports restricted access to particular neural networks.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for a method of propagating signals across a web graph. A signal describes a document or otherwise provides useful information about a document in a web graph. A web graph is a collection of documents that are related to one another through links, such as hyperlinks. The signals are propagated in the sense that information from the related pages is associated with the target page even though the information may not be directly found in the target page. This information may then be used by a search engine to determine that a particular page is relevant to a search query.

Abstract: A wheel cover includes a quick fasten and release device for securing the wheel cover to a vehicle wheel. The device includes a clamp mechanism extending from a central location on the wheel cover. The clamp includes grappling fingers that engage the wheel hub flange when drawn into engagement by a mechanism operated by a handle accessible from the outward facing surface of the wheel cover.

For the search space, a lexicon of search terms is determined for those elements within the search space associated with terms within the lexicon. For some of the terms within the lexicon a secondary search space is determined. Then for each secondary search space, a further secondary lexicon of secondary search terms for those elements within said secondary search space associated with terms within the secondary lexicon is determined.
