Abstract:
A data service system is described herein which processes raw data assets from at least one network-accessible system (such as a search system), to produce processed data assets. Enterprise applications can then leverage the processed data assets to perform various environment-specific tasks. In one implementation, the data service system can generate any of: synonym resources for use by an enterprise application in providing synonyms for specified terms associated with entities; augmentation resources for use by an enterprise application in providing supplemental information for specified seed information; and spelling-correction resources for use by an enterprise application in providing spelling information for specified terms, and so on.
Abstract:
Various technologies described herein pertain to evaluating service provider compliance with terms of a performance service level agreement (SLA) for a tenant in a multi-tenant database system. The terms of the performance SLA can set a performance criterion as though a level of a resource of hardware of the multi-tenant database system is dedicated to the tenant. An actual performance metric of the resource can be tracked for a workload of the tenant. Further, a baseline performance metric of the resource can be determined for the workload of the tenant. The baseline performance metric can be based on a simulation as though the level of the resource as set in the performance SLA is dedicated to the workload of the tenant. Moreover, the actual performance metric can be compared with the baseline performance metric to evaluate compliance with the performance SLA.
Abstract:
A system enables metadata to be gathered about a data store beginning from the creation and generation of the data store, through subsequent use of the data store. This metadata can include keywords related to the data store and data appearing within the data store. Thus, keywords and other metadata can be generated without owner/creator intervention, with enough semantic meaning to make a discovery process associated with the data store much easier and efficient. Usage of or communication regarding a data store are monitored and keywords are extracted from the usage or communication. The keywords are then written to otherwise associated with metadata of the data store. During searching, keywords in the metadata are made available to be used to attempt to match query terms entered by a searcher.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, datasets are stored in a catalog. The datasets are enriched by establishing relationships among the domains in different datasets. A user searches for relevant datasets by providing examples of the domains of interest. The system identifies datasets corresponding to the user-provided examples. The system them identifies connected subsets of the datasets that are directly linked or indirectly linked through other domains. The user provides known relationship examples to filter the connected subsets and to identify the connected subsets that are most relevant to the user's query. The selected connected subsets may be further analyzed by business intelligence/analytics to create pivot tables or to process the data.
Abstract:
The subject disclosure is directed towards providing data for augmenting an entity-attribute-related task. Pre-processing is preformed on entity-attribute tables extracted from the web, e.g., to provide indexes that are accessible to find data that completes augmentation tasks. The indexes are based on both direct mappings and indirect mappings between tables. Example augmentation tasks include queries for augmented data based on an attribute name or examples, or finding synonyms for augmentation. An online query is efficiently processed by accessing the indexes to return augmented data related to the task.
Abstract:
Identifying synonyms of entities using a collection of documents is disclosed herein. In some aspects, a document from a collection of documents may be analyzed to identify hit sequences that include one or more tokens (e.g., words, number, etc.). The hit sequences may then be used to generate discriminating token sets (DTS's) that are subsets of both the hit sequences and the entity names. The DTS's are matched with corresponding entity names, and then used to create DTS phrases by selecting adjacent text in the document that is proximate to the DTS. The DTS phrases may be analyzed to determine whether the corresponding DTS is synonyms of the entity name. In various aspects, the tokens of an associated entity name that are present in the DTS phrases are used to generate a score for the DTS. When the score at least reaches a threshold, the DTS may be designated as a synonym. A list of synonyms may be generated for each entity name.
Abstract:
A similarity analysis framework is described herein which leverages two or more similarity analysis functions to generate synonyms for an entity reference string re. The functions are selected such that the synonyms that are generated by the framework satisfy a core set of synonym-related properties. The functions operate by leveraging query log data. One similarity analysis function takes into consideration the strength of similarity between a particular candidate string se and an entity reference string re even in the presence of sparse query log data, while another function takes into account the classes of se and re. The framework also provides indexing mechanisms that expedite its computations. The framework also provides a reduction module for converting long entity reference strings into shorter strings, where each shorter string (if found) contains a subset of the terms in its longer counterpart.
Abstract:
Architecture for finding related entities for web search queries. An extraction component takes a document as input and outputs all the mentions (or occurrences) of named entities such as names of people, organizations, locations, and products in the document, as well as entity metadata. An indexing component takes a document identifier (docID) and the set of mentions of named entities and, stores and indexes the information for retrieval. A document-based search component takes a keyword query and returns the docIDs of the top documents matching with the query. A retrieval component takes a docID as input, accesses the information stored by the indexing component and returns the set of mentions of named entities in the document. This information is then passed to an entity scoring and thresholding component that computes an aggregate score of each entity and selects the entities to return to the user.
Abstract:
A lightweight physical design alerter can analyze a workload and determine whether a comprehensive tuning session would result in a configuration improvement over the current configuration. The alerter provides a low-overhead procedure that can run during normal operation of a database management system and produce a notification if a current configuration is less than optimal. The alerter can report lower and upper bounds on the improvements that could be obtained if a comprehensive tuning tool is launched. A lower bound can be justified by generating feasible configurations. The disclosed embodiments can be extended to query updates, materialized views, and other physical design features (e.g., partitioning).
Abstract:
This patent application relates to interval-based information retrieval (IR) search techniques for efficiently and correctly answering keyword search queries. In some embodiments, a range of information-containing blocks for a search query can be identified. Each of these blocks, and thus the range, can include document identifiers that identify individual corresponding documents that contain a term found in the search query. From the range, a subrange(s) having a smaller number of blocks than the range can be selected. This can be accomplished without decompressing the blocks by partitioning the range into intervals and evaluating the intervals. The smaller number of blocks in the subranges(s) can then be decompressed and processed to identify a doc ID(s) and thus document(s) that satisfies the query.
