Database, Schema, And Data Structure Creation And/or Modification Patents (Class 707/803)
  • Patent number: 11334532
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable replicating data records between a source database and a target database. More specifically, for a batch of change records in a table received from the source database, a first estimated replication duration needed to apply the batch as a bulk change to the target is determined. For the same batch, a second estimated replication duration needed to apply a set of changes in a single row of the table to the target is determined based on time penalties for each column in the row. A threshold quantity of rows at which the first duration equals a summed total of second durations for the quantity is calculated. The bulk change is selected if a number of rows in the batch exceeds the threshold. Applying change records singly is selected if the number of rows in the batch is less than the threshold.

  • Patent number: 11263186
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a modified GraphQL server that enables application developers to define custom GraphQL schema fragments. For example, a developer may provide the GraphQL server with a GraphQL standard definition language (SDL) file having annotations that indicate that a customized data-handling script, such as a custom data-fetching script or a custom type resolver script, be called for handling certain data types or fields. These customized data-handling scripts are resolved and called at runtime based on the annotations in the GraphQL SDL file. By enabling developers to define schema fragments in the SDL language and implement data-handling scripts in a suitable scripting language, schema portability can be maintained across client instances, as well as instance release versions.

  • Patent number: 11256686
    Abstract: Systems and devices implement scalable implementations of multi-dimensional aggregations with input blending in distributed query processing systems. Multi-dimensional aggregations for identifiers/values designated fields in datasets are performed based on keys. Datasets are sorted by identifier/value and divided into first partitions. Each row of data with a specific sorted-by-identifier/value is only present in one of the first partitions. Keys are generated from each combination of two or more dataset fields, and a blended table of data is generated over the partitions based on each different key combination. Designated data field characteristics are determined for the blended table based on the different key combinations. The characteristics are divided into second partitions based on the keys, where each key is present in only one of the second partitions. A final designated data field characteristic is determined for each row of data in each of the second partitions as the multi-dimensional aggregation.

The key-value structures have entries pointing to respective metadata objects, which include copies of metadata items stored in the master metadata database tables. The key-value structures can be hierarchically organized under a parent key-value structure. Metadata object versions can be organized as a linked list to facilitate multi-version concurrency control. Methods are disclosed for building the key-value store, for retrieving metadata from the store, for updating the store, for providing multi-version concurrency control, and for pruning obsolete metadata versions.

  • Patent number: 11106709
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a recommendation method and device, and a device for formulating recommendations. The recommendation method specifically includes obtaining a current context of an input method program after the input method program is triggered, analyzing data of past input actions by a current user under past contexts to obtain a target entry matching the current context in the data of the past input actions, and displaying the target entry. The present disclosure provides candidate entries to the user without any input operation by the user, thereby substantially improving the user's input efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11085777
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating and modifying recommended event sequences utilizing a dynamic user preference interface. For example, in one or more embodiments, the system generates a recommended event sequence using a recommendation model trained based on a plurality of historical event sequences. The system then provides, for display via a client device, the recommendation, a plurality of interactive elements for entry of user preferences, and a visual representation of historical event sequences. Upon detecting input of user preferences, the system can modify a reward function of the recommendation model and provide a modified recommended event sequence together with the plurality of interactive elements. In one or more embodiments, as a user enters user preferences, the system additionally modifies the visual representation to display subsets of the plurality of historical event sequences corresponding to the preferences.

  • Patent number: 11087071
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a self-compressed YANG (Yet Another Next Generation) model allow a model data provider (e.g., a client that provides configuration information to a server, or a server that provides response data to a query) to dynamically select either text format or compressed format using the same data model. This approach can significantly increase the YANG management performance of both network elements and servers (e.g., Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) devices). The self-compressed YANG model maintains full compatibility to existing standards/implementations, namely, the enhanced compression is available where supported.

  • Patent number: 11087084
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions which are executed by the at least one processor and configure the processor to implement a document processing system. A spell check confidence component executing within the document processing system records a mapping of misspelled words to corrected words for set of documents. The spell check confidence component generates an error-to-correction frequency model based on the mapping. A parser executing within the document processing system parses an input document to extract words in the error-to-correction frequency model. The spell check confidence component calculates a precision score for each word in the input document found in the error-to-correction frequency model. The precision score represents a probability that the extracted word is spelled correctly as intended in the input document.

  • Patent number: 11080295
    Abstract: Techniques for organizing knowledge about a dataset storing data from or about multiple sources may be provided. For example, the data can be accessed from the multiple sources and categorized based on the data type. For each data type, a triple extraction technique specific to that data type may be invoked. One set of techniques can allow the extraction of triples from the data based on natural language-based rules. Another set of techniques can allow a similar extraction based on logical or structural-based rules. A triple may store a relationship between elements of the data. The extracted triples can be stored with corresponding identifiers in a list. Further, dictionaries storing associations between elements of the data and the triples can be updated. The list and the dictionaries can be used to return triples in response to a query that specifies one or more elements.
