  • Patent number: 12619593
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for efficient computation over a wide table. A processing device determines that a first number of columns of a first table is greater than a threshold number of columns. The processing device transforms the first table into a second table based on the determination, where the second table includes a second number of columns that is less than the first number of columns, and where the second table includes a first column that includes first fields that identify columns of the first table, a second column that includes second fields that identify data types of fields of the first table, and a third column that includes third fields that include data of the fields of the first table. The processing device executes a UDTF on the second table.

  • Publication number: 20250321981
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for classifying data. The systems and methods access an automatic classification profile comprising one or more conditions for triggering data classification and access a classification scope that identifies one or more tables to be classified. The systems and methods determine that a set of attributes of the one or more tables identified by the classification scope corresponds to the one or more conditions of the automatic classification profile. The systems and methods, in response to determining that the set of attributes of the one or more tables identified by the classification scope corresponds to the one or more conditions of the automatic classification profile, automatically classify data stored in one or more columns of the one or more tables.

  • Publication number: 20250278736
    Abstract: Devices, methods, computer-readable media, and systems with authorized fraud detection. In one example, a device may include a memory including an input profile record (IPR) repository and a non-input profile record (non-IPR) information repository that is distinct from the IPR repository, and an electronic processor in communication with the memory. The electronic processor is configured to receive a current IPR associated with a user entering information to transfer electronic funds, detect that the user is performing authorized fraud based on the current IPR, and responsive to detecting that the user is performing authorized fraud based on the current IPR, output a control signal indicating that the user is performing authorized fraud.

  • Publication number: 20240330412
    Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying columns using a model are provided. The systems and methods access a table associated with a column of features and retrieve a list of categories each associated with a different scoring model. The systems and methods, for each category in the list of categories, apply a respective scoring model to the features of the column to generate a respective set of confidence values indicating a likelihood that the column belongs to a respective one of the categories. The systems and methods process the respective sets of confidence values to select a target category from the list of categories and associate the selected target category with the column.
