Abstract: Embodiments relate to techniques for performing data blending operations across multiple different data sets comprising data structures with columns and rows. The data sets may be classified and displayed in a visualization (i.e., chart) in a client interface. Columns and rows from the blended data sets may be mapped together (i.e., linked). Updates to the visualization, including adding elements from the data sets, may trigger a data blending process on the backend server in communication with a database. The server may blend the specified data by generating a runtime artifact representing a calculation graph for the blend operation and query the database to retrieve a resulting data set. The data blending operation may comprise collapsing dimensions of a primary data set with linked dimensions of a secondary data sets into a blended column and aggregating values of measures in rows of the blended column of the resulting data structure.

Abstract: Software program “help” functionality includes features enhancing its relevance to users. An engine may receive/record context data arising from interactions between a user and the software program. The engine may process that context data to reference a plurality of sources (e.g., official help documentation, user blogs, partner web sites, etc.) and harvest relevant help information. Based upon stored context data and help information available from the plurality of sources, certain embodiments may generate suggested questions allowing further exploration of help issues. Some embodiments may offer help information in the form of an interactive “hotspot” focusing upon a specific UI element (e.g., icon). Processing the context data may allow the engine to assign a particular skill level (e.g., novice/intermediate/expert) to individual users, tailoring the help information to that skill level. The interactive nature of the help functionality may enhance its use in conjunction with complex workflows encountered in many software programs.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology for facilitating searching and matching of data. In accordance with one implementation, first and second feature sets are extracted. The first feature set is associated with an input data string including one or more first ideographic elements, while the second feature set is associated with a candidate string including one or more second ideographic elements. A match score of the candidate string is determined based on the first and second feature sets.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology for facilitating searching and matching of data. In some implementations, an input data string, including one or more ideographic elements, is received and converted to a Latin-based input data string. One or more input keys may be generated based on the Latin-based input data string. A reference database may be searched for one or more candidate records indexed by at least one of the one or more input keys. If the one or more candidate records are found, a match score is determined for the one or more candidate records.
