  • Patent number: 11429566
    Abstract: Systems and methods for classification of log data at the source into sets of critical and non-critical data. Critical data may be indexed and processed normally, while non-critical data may be provided to and stored by the cloud-based log aggregation system without indexing, at significantly lower cost in terms of processing and storage. In the event that non-critical data is required for troubleshooting or analysis, the non-critical data may be indexed dynamically on request. Because the non-critical data is stored at the cloud-based log aggregation system, it may be quickly indexed and added to the critical data, without additional consumption of bandwidth or delays due to transmission. Dynamic selection and classification of critical and non-critical data may thus allow an enterprise to balance costs and availability of indexed data.

The external table includes partitions that correspond to storage locations in a source directory of the external data storage platform. The storage locations contain files that contain the external data. The database platform identifies, from external-table metadata that is stored by the database platform and that maps the partitions of the external table to the storage locations in the source directory, a subset of the partitions as including data that potentially satisfies the query. The database platform identifies data that satisfies the query by scanning the identified subset of the partitions, and responds to the query at least in part with the identified data that satisfies the query.

  • Patent number: 11397758
    Abstract: A browse node page is addressed by its path. As a result, a web crawler may be more likely to find the browse node than the corresponding parameter-based search page. The browse node may be further distinguished from a search result page by the use of a title or header metatag that indicates information about the browse node and distinguishes the browse node from a general search result page. The number of combinations of keywords, categories, and key-value pairs makes the creation of a browse node for every possible combination prohibitive in all but the simplest applications. Methods and systems to identify which search result pages should be converted to browse nodes are disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 11347808
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for dynamically adaptive Bloom filters. After processing a lookup operation using a Bloom filter, a feedback message is received which can be used to determine whether the Bloom filter produced a false-positive lookup result. A Bloom filter accuracy score can be updated based on the feedback message. If the accuracy score for the Bloom filter falls below a specified threshold then the Bloom filter can be changed, or replaced with a different Bloom filter. In at least some embodiments, a plurality of Bloom filters can be created. One of the Bloom filters, designated as an active Bloom filter, can be used to process lookup operations. When a feedback message is received, accuracy scores can be updated for each of the Bloom filters. Based on the accuracy scores, the active Bloom filter can be deactivated and another Bloom filter, with a better accuracy score, can be activated.

An OES storage system can comprise an OES that can have a dynamic topology, e.g., comprising changing numbers of segments, segments that have changing routing key ranges, mixes of local and remote storage devices and processors, employing different types of storage, or combinations thereof. A conditional append operation can be predicated on determining an appropriate segment, for example, based on a routing key. Conditions of the conditional appends can be designated by a user. Failing conditions can trigger a corrective action, throwing of an error. Satisfied conditions can result in permitting the conditional append. Moreover, the conditional append can be dependent on populating a group of attributes for the correct segment based on attributes that can be determined for a different epoch of the OES, again for example, based on a routing key.

When the content submission does not include prohibited content, the content gallery server adds the content submission to a network accessible content gallery corresponding to an inmate associated with the inmate device. Further, authorized friends and family of the inmate may view the content submission and provide comments on the content submission.

  • Patent number: 11080598
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, factual question generation from freeform content is achieved through semantic role labeling and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Specifically, semantic role labeling is used to identify an answer phrase so that it can be replaced with an appropriate question word. RNNs are then used to extract triples (Subject-Object-Predicate) from the sentence, and each of these triples can be used as an answer phrase/word. An RNN is then fed with training data to generate the questions more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 11080258
    Abstract: An apparatus acquires a first input-table, based on target table information, and acquires a script for generating a first output-table from the first input-table, and a constraint condition between columns included in the first input-table and the first output-table. The apparatus converts the first input-table into a second input-table such that the second input-table obtained by converting a column structure of the first input-table and a second output-table to be obtained by converting a column structure of the target table comply with the constraint condition, and generates assignment information indicating a correspondence relationship between columns to be included in the second output-table and the target table. The apparatus generates the second output-table from the script and the second input-table, and converts the second output-table into the target table, based on the assignment information.

  • Patent number: 11076185
    Abstract: Systems and associated methods are described for providing content recommendations. The system selects a first plurality of subsets of content categories, each subset of content categories comprising a first number of content categories. The subsets are assigned reward scores based on content popularity and duplication. The subset are then iteratively modified to increase the rewards scores. If the reward scores are still low, the process is repeated by selecting a second plurality of subsets of content categories, each subset of content categories comprising a second number of content categories, different from first number.

  • Patent number: 11004135
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to training, and providing recommendations via, a machine learning model architected to balance relevance and diversity of sets of recommendations. For example, a neural network can be provided with user profile features and can output probabilities for each of a number of recommendations. This can be converted into a ranked list of recommendations. The ranked list of recommendations is provided to a diversity model that maximizes an optimization objective having a first objective that quantifies relevance of a recommendation and a second objective that measures diversity of a set of recommendations. The output of the diversity model is a set of recommendations that have both high relevance and high diversity.

  • Patent number: 10885281
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement a summarization mechanism for summarizing an identified natural language document using hyperbolic embeddings. Responsive to receiving a query from a user for a summarization of the identified natural language document, the summarization mechanism produces a hyperbolic embedding model of embeddings of the query. The summarization mechanism compares the embeddings of the query to each of a set of embeddings associated with a set of sentences of the identified natural language document. Responsive to identifying a subset of embeddings associated with the set of sentences of the identified natural language document having a semantic specificity to a subset of embeddings associated with the query, the summarization mechanism adds the sentence to a summary of the identified natural language document. The summarization mechanism then outputs the summary to the user.
