The compressed independent column and the compressed dependent column are stored in a same file. In an embodiment, a…
Method for faceted visualization of a SPARQL query result set
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11562022
Embodiments use successive refinement to allow a user to systematically explore the result set of an arbitrary query over RDF, such as a SPARQL query. A user inputs an arbitrary base query and modifies this query by replacing selected variables with values to which each selected variable is bound within the result set of the base query. Embodiments present, via a GUI, variable facets that may be substituted for query variables. Embodiments also present, through a GUI, a query history…

Statistics based query transformation
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11561973
Techniques are described for responding to aggregate queries using optimizer statistics already available in the data dictionary of the database in which the database object targeting by the aggregate query resides, without the user creating any additional objects (e.g. materialized views) and without requiring the objects to be loaded into volatile memory in a columnar fashion. The user query is rewritten to produce a transformed query that targets the dictionary tables to form the…
Method for training multichannel data receiver timing
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11561923
An apparatus includes a first device having a clock signal and configured to communicate, via a data bus, with a second device configured to assert a data strobe signal and a plurality of data bit signals on the data bus. The first device may include a control circuit configured, during a training phase, to determine relative timing between the clock signal, the plurality of data bit signals, and the data strobe signal. The first device may determine, using a first set of sampling…
Method of distributed graph loading for minimal communication and good balance via lazy materialization and directory indirection using indexed tabular representation
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11561780
Techniques herein minimally communicate between computers to repartition a graph. In embodiments, each computer receives a partition of edges and vertices of the graph. For each of its edges or vertices, each computer stores an intermediate representation into an edge table (ET) or vertex table. Different edges of a vertex may be loaded by different computers, which may cause a conflict. Each computer announces that a vertex resides on the computer to a respective tracking computer. Each…
Determining optimum software update transmission parameters
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11563650
Optimum software update transmission parameters are determined and used for transmitting a software update from a host to servers of a computer network. The software update is transmitted while the servers are live and required to meet certain quality of service requirements for tenants of the computer network. Transmission parameters for transmitting the software update are adjusted and updated based on service performance data. Based on iterative adjustments, optimum transmission…
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for optimizing network bandwidth utilization through intelligent updating of network function (NF) profiles with NF repository function
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11563638
A method for optimizing network bandwidth utilization through intelligent updating of network function (NF) profiles includes, at an NF repository function (NRF), receiving, from a first NF that previously communicated with a failed geo-redundant mate of the NRF as primary, an NF heart-beat request message. The method further includes locating an NF profile for the first NF in an NF profiles database maintained by the NRF. The method further includes computing an NF profile data…
Failure detection in cloud-computing systems
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11563628
Techniques discussed herein monitoring for and identifying failures in a cloud-computing environment. Proxy devices can be communicatively disposed between services of the cloud-computing environment. The proxy devices can capture call stack data corresponding to function calls between services. A directional graph can be generated based on that call stack data that represents the communication paths between cloud-computing resources (e.g., the services). Ingress paths to a service can…

Patent Number:
11562267
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for an intelligent assistant (e.g., a chatbot) that can be used to enable a user to generate a machine learning system. Techniques can be used to automatically generate a machine learning system to assist a user. In some cases, the user may not be a software developer and may have little or no experience in either machine learning techniques or software programming. In some embodiments, a user can interact with an intelligent…
Adaptive sampling for imbalance mitigation and dataset size reduction in machine learning

According to an embodiment, a method includes generating a first dataset sample from a dataset, calculating a first validation score for the first dataset sample and a machine learning model, and determining whether a difference in validation score between the first validation score and a second validation score satisfies a first criteria. If the difference in validation score does not satisfy the first criteria, the method includes generating a second dataset sample from the dataset. If…
Constructing conclusive answers for autonomous agents
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11562135
Techniques are described herein for enabling autonomous agents to generate conclusive answers. An example of a conclusive answer is text that addresses concerns of a user who is interacting with an autonomous agent. For example, an autonomous agent interacts with a user device, answering user utterances, for example questions or concerns. Based on the interactions, the autonomous agent determines that a conclusive answer is appropriate. The autonomous agent formulates the conclusive…
Client-side 2D rendering of server-side multidimensional data
Granted: January 24, 2023
Patent Number:
11562130
A multidimensional data cube at a server may store values and functions. The functions may use values stored in the data cube as inputs to generate results. A client application may retrieve values stored at a server in a multidimensional data cube to be updated and viewed locally at the client. Instead of evaluating functions at the server and transmitting the results to the client, the functions themselves may be translated into equivalent functions that can be evaluated in real time…
