  • Patent number: 10803057
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a system that utilizes regular expression (regex) to recognize at least portions of characters, words, text, numbers, etc. in a structured or unstructured dataset, any patterns associated therewith, and/or similarities between the determined patterns. In examples, a regex-based pattern recognition platform may receive a dataset and determine whether at least a first regex pattern and a second regex pattern can be identified. The occurrences of the first and second regex patterns and the frequency of those occurrences may reveal something about the dataset itself or any patterns contained therein.

  • Patent number: 10795886
    Abstract: A system dynamically routes queries from an organization for processing. An incoming query is classified using a base model to determine a canonical group. The query is routed based on the canonical group. Responsive to the query, response data is then provided to the user device. Event data about the query, the routing, and the response data is used to train a first model that is used to determine subsequent routing. When a threshold is reached with respect to the available event data, a second model is trained using the event data. Processing of subsequent queries using the second model results in reduced demand for computer resources and reduces response times. The second model may be retrained on a schedule, or upon occurrence of a trigger event, such as an addition or removal of a canonical group.

  • Patent number: 10775751
    Abstract: In one aspect, a regular expression is automatically generated based on user input for fields that are desired to be extracted from log lines. The input may be received by user through an interface provided by a machine such as a controller. The input may identify one or more fields within a log line that should be extracted. Multiple instances of potential regular expression portions may be generated based on the user input, and different portions are combined together to determine if they achieve the desired extraction. Once a complete regular expression is generated based on user input, a user may provide additional input to identify examples or counterexamples of log line fields that satisfy or don't satisfy the user's intended extraction.

Query engine attributes describing the query engines available to query various instances of the subject dataset are accessed. A set of query engine selection rules are evaluated subject to the statement attributes and/or the query engine attributes to dynamically select a target query engine for the data statements. A physical plan structured for the target query engine is generated from the logical plan. The physical plan is executed on the target query engine to perform data operations on the subject dataset.

  • Patent number: 10616200
    Abstract: A method for authenticating a mobility management entity (MME) for outbound roaming subscribers includes maintaining a Diameter authentication information request (AIR)/update location request (ULR) mapping database at a Diameter edge agent (DEA). A Diameter AIR message is received at the DEA. The DEA determines that the AIR message includes a visited public land mobile network identifier (VPLMN ID) not of record in the database. The DEA records the VPLMN ID in the database. A Diameter ULR message is received at the DEA, and a VPLMN ID is read from the ULR message. The DEA determines that the VPLMN ID read from the ULR message does not match the VPLMN ID recorded for the subscriber in the database. In response to determining that the VPLMN ID does not match the VPLMN ID recorded for the subscriber in the database, the DEA rejects the ULR message.

  • Patent number: 10585678
    Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure provides for inserting custom activities in orchestrated application suites. In an embodiment, an element of interest is first identified in a base suite. The scope of the element of interest in the base suite is then determined. A custom activity is inserted after an end of the scope of the element of interest to form a deployment suite corresponding to the base suite. According to another aspect, the base suite comprises a set of applications, wherein the end of scope of the element is determined to be in a first application of the set of applications, wherein a second application of the set of application immediately follows the first application in a processing flow of the base suite. The custom module is placed between the first application and the second application, wherein the custom module when executed performs the custom activity.

  • Patent number: 10579931
    Abstract: A method and system for interpreting a dataset is described herein. The method include computing a rule set pertaining to the dataset, followed by generating a rule cover pertinent to a subset of the rule set. Further, a plurality of distances between the plurality of rule pairs in the rule cover is calculated and a distance matrix based on the calculated plurality of distances is generated. Consequently, the overlapping rules within the rule cover are clustered using the distance matrix and a representative rule from each cluster is selected. Further, at least one exception for each representative rule is determined and the dataset is interpreted using the representative rules and the at least one exception. Thereby, the method provides succinct results in terms of rules and exceptions along with multiple interpretations of the same set of transactions from the dataset, thereby providing a holistic view about the dataset.

  • Patent number: 10572236
    Abstract: The invention provides, in some aspects, a computer-implemented method for enabling enhanced functionality in a software application. The method includes executing, on a computer, an enhancement engine that is communicatively coupled to a rules base (or other store that contains rules) and/or a rules engine that executes rules (e.g., from the rules base). The enhancement engine receives a request to enable enhanced functionality in an application that is defined, at least in part, by a plurality of such rules, where the request specifies a selected rule in the application for such enhancement. The enhancement engine identifies (or ascertains) a new rule at least partially providing the enhanced functionality and (i) updates the rules base (or other store) to include the new rule along with the others that define at least a portion of the application and/or (ii) effects execution by the rules engine of the new rule along with those others.

  • Patent number: 10552390
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for analyzing performance of a computer system where at a plurality of time intervals, a set of KPIs of a database and database performance outputs are monitored. A database performance value is calculated based on the monitored KPIs and one or more database performance outputs. In response to determining the database performance value is below a first threshold, a KPI correlation coefficient is calculated. The calculated KPI correlation coefficient with the greatest value is selected as a target KPI. In response to determining that a count of functions of the target KPI meets a second threshold, a dynamic tabular representation of the determined target KPI is generated. A correlation matrix is generated based on the generated tabular representation and the plurality of time intervals and a first set of target functions are identified based on the generated correlation matrix.

  • Patent number: 10552744
    Abstract: System receives inputs, each input associated with a label and having features, creates a rule for each feature, each rule including a feature and a label, each rule stored in a hierarchy, and distributes each rule into a partition associated with a label or another partition associated with another label. System identifies a number of inputs that include a feature for a rule in the rule partition, and identifies another number of inputs that include both the feature for the rule and another feature for another rule in the rule partition. System deletes the rule from the hierarchy if the ratio of the other number of inputs to the number of inputs satisfies a threshold and an additional number of inputs that includes the other antecedent feature is at least as much as the number. System predicts a label for an input including features by applying each remaining rule to the input.
