Parsing Data Structures And Data Objects Patents (Class 707/755)
  • Patent number: 12131272
    Abstract: A conversation control system and associated methods adapt or modify currently active or future conversations and/or interactions based on machine-generated models that continuously evaluate client satisfaction over the entirety of the active conversations and/or interactions. The system receives a conversation with utterances by two or more participants, and generates a vector with features comprised of words, word sequences, and category classifications associated with at least one of the utterances. The system provides the features as inputs to a prediction model that assigns weights to a set of features based on a modeling of different impacts that each feature of the set of features has on one or more aspects of customer satisfaction. The system generates predictions for those aspects of customer satisfaction without input from the participants based on the assigned weights, and performs an automated action based on the one or more predictions.

  • Patent number: 12111835
    Abstract: A query generation and processing system includes a relational data store, a query generator, and a query processor. The relational data store stores data ingested from data sources in a first and second datasets. The query generator interprets a data expression in a simplified query language to generate a query in a structured query language based on identifying quads corresponding to the first and second datasets in the data expression and determining an implicit join between the quads based on an unambiguous relationship obtainable from a schema of the first and datasets, in which the data expression does not expressly identify a join between the first quad and the second quad. The query processor generates a query pipeline that uses the data of the first and second datasets stored by the relational data store to execute the query generated by the query processor.

  • Patent number: 11874807
    Abstract: A cloud-native global file system is augmented to include a file exporter (or, more generally, a file export tool) that facilitates an enterprise customer's use of a cloud-native tool that would otherwise be unable to operate against the global file system's underlying file system representation. In a typical use case, the file exporter is configured to extract in a native object format and to an unencrypted target (e.g., an S3 bucket, an Azure storage account, and the like) all or a portion of a volume's data from the underlying file system representation. In this manner, the exporter creates a copy of the data set that the enterprise user can then leverage against the desired cloud-native tool or other cloud services that are not under the management or control of the global file system service provider.

  • Patent number: 11556503
    Abstract: A method for data storage includes assigning multiple different portions of a given object, which is stored in non-volatile storage, for access by multiple respective software modules running on one or more processors. Storage operations are performed by the software modules in the portions of the given object. Respective local values, which are indicative of most recent times the storage operations were performed in the given object by the respective software modules, are updated by the software modules. A global value is updated for the given object, by consolidating updates of the local values performed by the software modules.

  • Patent number: 11520782
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods discussed herein are directed to utilizing patterns and logical entities to identify and maintain relationships between data assets. In some embodiments, a query comprising a logical entity qualifier, one or more pattern identifiers that indicate a pattern, and a data set identifier may be received. The pattern is executed against a data set corresponding to the data set identifier and one or more logical entities are generated based on this execution. A logical entity may be a label that represents a set of one or more data assets in a data set. Assets that share a label can share attributes that are described by the label. The label corresponding to each logical entity may be presented, where each label represents a different set of data assets which share a common trait. In some embodiments, the user may define a pattern by which commonality may be assessed.

  • Patent number: 11520827
    Abstract: In some examples, a computing system may receive a document comprising a paragraph associated with a purchase order. The paragraph may be converted into text. The computing system may use a parser to parse the text to identify particular portions associated with address-related information. The computing system may parse the text based on a pre-determined sequential order and also may remove the particular portions from the text based on the pre-determined sequential order. The computing system may then label and store the particular portions in fields of a data structure.

  • Patent number: 11475081
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for merging the query results received for a query provided to multiple services. In one aspect, a query is transmitted to a plurality of search services. A plurality of query result sets is received from the search services in response to the query. A comparer function is generated by applying a ranking algorithm to the received query result sets that orders the query results of the query result sets without regard to a received order of the query results in the query result sets. The query result sets are merged into a merged query result set using the comparer function. In an aspect, the query result sets are merged in a manner that maintains an internal order of each received query result set in the merged query result set.

  • Patent number: 11468018
    Abstract: A cloud-native global file system is augmented to include a file exporter (or, more generally, a file export tool) that facilitates an enterprise customer's use of a cloud-native tool that would otherwise be unable to operate against the global file system's underlying file system representation. In a typical use case, the file exporter is configured to extract in a native object format and to an unencrypted target (e.g., an S3 bucket, an Azure storage account, and the like) all or a portion of a volume's data from the underlying file system representation. In this manner, the exporter creates a copy of the data set that the enterprise user can then leverage against the desired cloud-native tool or other cloud services that are not under the management or control of the global file system service provider.

  • Patent number: 11425006
    Abstract: A system for processing cybersecurity monitoring data includes a load balancing operator coupled to at least one incoming data stream. The load balancing operator is operable to distribute cybersecurity monitoring messages amongst a plurality of collector processing units operable to generate monitoring records from the received cybersecurity monitoring messages in a first format. A plurality of parser sub-units coupled to the plurality of collector processing sub-units are operable to generate parsed monitoring records by converting the received monitoring records from the first format to a second format. A combiner operator coupled to the plurality of parser sub-units is operable to combine the parsed monitoring records from the plurality of parser sub-units into a synchronous output data stream. The system is configured such that data flows sequentially from the load balancing operator to the plurality of collector processing sub-units and to the plurality of parser sub-units to the combiner operator.

  • Patent number: 11381476
    Abstract: A file is created in a standardized format that defines a type of a containerized application and includes information for deployment of the containerized application. A single parser of the standardized format is thus enabled to deploy different types of containerized applications. The standardized file format includes an application definition. The application definition includes a service, a port list, a container list, a volume mount list, an access mode list, a resource usage list, or any suitable combination thereof. A client device presents a user interface that allows a user to select a containerized application to execute. An application server parses an application template file for the selected containerized application and, based on the information in the application template file, causes one or more servers (e.g., one or more Kubernetes cluster nodes) to execute the containerized application.
