  • Patent number: 12169498
    Abstract: Metric time series (MTS) data objects stored within in-memory storage are marked as inactive in response to determining that no MTS data has been received for the MTS objects within a first predetermined time period. In response to determining that an MTS object has been inactive for longer than a second predetermined time period, the MTS data object is migrated from in-memory storage to on-disk storage. Queries directed to MTS objects are first run against MTS object data stored within in-memory storage, and then against MTS object data stored within on-disk storage. In this way, an amount of in-memory storage needed to store MTS objects may be minimized, while optimizing search performance.

  • Patent number: 12067364
    Abstract: A plurality of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) strings corresponding to a dataset of document object model (DOM) nodes is tokenized according to a tokenization scheme to produce a dictionary of tokens that occur in the dataset. A condensed dictionary of tokens in produced by removing low-value tokens from the vocabulary of tokens. An information matrix is computed based on the condensed dictionary of tokens, the information matrix being a set of values, a value of the set of values corresponding to a frequency of co-occurrence of a pair of tokens. A library of word vectors is derived from the information matrix. A feature vector of an HTML element is generated based at least in part on the library of word vectors, and a classification for the HTML element is obtained from a machine learning model as a result of inputting the feature vector into the machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 12062026
    Abstract: Shoppable video enables a viewer to identify and buy items appearing in a video. To retrieve information about the items in a frame of the video, the playback device generates a perceptual hash of that frame and uses that hash to query a first database storing perceptual hashes of different version of the video. The database query returns an identifier for the frame, which is then used to query a second database that store the item information. The results of this query are returned to the playback device, which shows them to the user, enabling the viewer to learn more about and possibly purchase the item. Using queries based on perceptual hashes of different versions of the video increases the likelihood of returning a match, despite formatting differences. And using separate hash and metadata databases makes it possible to update the metadata without changing the hashes.
