Abstract: Materialized views are maintained for time-series databases, to enable faster analytics over large data sets and to downsample data for storage savings. These materialized views are the result of computations on existing tables, such as aggregation, approximation, sampling, filtering, statistical estimates, and more. A materialized view is created on a base table, and continuously maintained, such that as changes are made to the base table, the materialized view is correspondingly updated. The database system records metadata identifying regions of the base table that have already been materialized. Subsequently, these invalidated regions are rematerialized. Queries ensure up-to-date results by combining data from the materialized view with results calculated at query time on the base table. Invalidation records and completion thresholds are used to determine which results should use records from the materialized table and which should be computed from records from the base table.

Abstract: Techniques for transforming plug-in application recipe (PIAR) variables are disclosed. A PIAR definition identifies a trigger and an action. Trigger variable values, exposed by a first plug-in application, are necessary to evaluate the trigger. Evaluating the trigger involves determining whether a condition is satisfied, based on values of trigger variables. A second plug-in application exposes an interface for carrying out an action.

Abstract: A content distribution system determines a content selection metric that allows the content distribution system to evaluate whether a content provider maximizes its net content value by stating the true content value of presenting content items by the content distribution system. The content distribution system determines net content values of presented content items and re-performs content selection processes based on modified content value offers. The content distribution system then determines sets of alternative net content values and compares the alternative net content values to the corresponding net content values to determine if the content provider can achieve a greater net content value with a content value offer that does not match the stated content value of presenting the content value. The content distribution system then determines a content selection metric based on the compared net content values and alternative net content values.

Abstract: The artificial intelligence-assisted information technology data management and natural language playbook system disclosed herein is designed to support current enterprise information technology security personnel by providing a faster and easier method for finding information or anomalies in current system data and logs. Enterprise security divisions often use multiple security information and event management (SIEM) software platforms to monitor their personnel data and logs, though even the use of such platforms requires advanced knowledge and skill on behalf of the user. The current system allows security users of all skill levels to interact using natural language processing with the system and effectively investigate such data and logs. The system assists such users by interacting with these SIEM platforms on their behalf and providing the users with access to pre-programmed natural language inquiry sequences, called “playbooks,” and easily customizable output displays.
