20150142832 | HASHING ALGORITHM FOR NETWORK RECEIVE FILTERING - Roughly described, a network interface device is assigned a maximum extent-of-search. A hash function is applied to the header information of each incoming packet, to generate a hash code for the packet. The hash code designates a particular subset of the table within which the particular header information should be found, and an iterative search is made within that subset. If the search locates a matching entry before the search limit is exceeded, then the incoming data packet is delivered to the receive queue identified in the matching entry. But if the search reaches the search limit before a matching entry is located, then device delivers the packet to a default queue, such as a kernel queue, in the host computer system. The kernel is then responsible for delivering the packet to the correct endpoint. | 05-21-2015 |

The method may also include evaluating the transformed analytic query, wherein complete evaluation of the at least one nondisjunctive Boolean expressions and the at least a second disjunctive Boolean expressions yields the same results as evaluation of the first disjunctive Boolean expression. | 04-07-2016 |
20160098487 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING USING ORTHOGONAL CODES - A system for searching in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: one or more sub nodes configured to generate one or more sub bloom filters corresponding to one or more object identification information; and a representative node configured to generate a representative bloom filter by applying an orthogonal code to each of said sub bloom filters and aggregating the sub bloom filters having the orthogonal code applied thereto, wherein, when the representative node receives a search request, the representative node is configured to apply the orthogonal code to the representative bloom filter and to determine whether object identification information included in the search request is included in sets corresponding to the sub bloom filters by referring to the representative bloom filter having the orthogonal code applied thereto. | 04-07-2016 |
20160098493 | Constructing Queries Using Query Filters on Online Social Networks - In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first search query including a selection of a first query-domain. The first query-domain may correspond to a first object-type. The method includes identifying a first set of objects of the plurality of objects matching the first object-type. The method includes sending a first search-results page responsive to the first search query. The first search-results page may include references to one or more of the identified objects from the first set of objects and one or more query-filter elements. Each query-filter element may correspond to a query-filter associated with the first query-domain. Each query-filter element may be activatable to apply the associated query-filter to the identified objects. The method includes receiving a second search query including a selection of one or more of the query-filters in response to the first user activating the corresponding query-filter elements. | 04-07-2016 |
20160110338 | IDENTIFYING POSSIBLE CONTEXTS FOR A SOURCE OF UNSTRUCTURED DATA - Potential clues are identified from an unstructured data source. The potential clues are each associated with one or more contexts. A first set of potential contexts for the unstructured data source are determined based on the potential clues. A confidence value for each potential context in the set of the potential contexts is calculated based on the potential clues. A second set of potential contexts is returned from the first set of potential contexts. | 04-21-2016 |
20160132496 | DATA FILTERING - A method for filtering a product transaction data file involves receiving, by a computer, a query including one or more groups of attribute conditions for filtering the product transaction data file. The attribute conditions in the query are applicable to product attribute data records split across a set of vertically split attribute data files. The method further includes determining which of the product attribute data records split across the set of vertically split attribute data files satisfy all of the one or more groups of attribute conditions in the query, identifying product keys associated with the product attribute data records that satisfy all of the one or more groups of attribute conditions in the query, and using the so-identified product keys to filter product data records in the transaction data file. | 05-12-2016 |
20160132600 | Methods and Systems for Performing Content Recognition for a Surge of Incoming Recognition Queries - Methods and systems for performing content recognition for a surge of incoming recognition queries are provided. Within examples, methods comprise receiving, by one or more computing devices, a stream of incoming content recognition queries, and a given content recognition query includes a sample of media content and a request to identify the sample of media content. Methods also comprise filtering, by the one or more computing devices, a plurality of content recognition queries from the stream of incoming content recognition queries belonging to a surge event, and the surge event is associated with content recognition queries received within a time window and including common samples of media content. | 05-12-2016 |
20160132601 | Hybrid Explanations In Collaborative Filter Based Recommendation System - Example apparatus and methods produce an explanation of why a recommendation is being made by an automated collaborative filtering recommendation system. The explanation may include feature categories and features that describe the item being recommended. The feature categories selected and features selected may depend on a personalization level for an item associated with the recommendation, a quality level of the descriptiveness of a feature for the recommendation, and correlations between items and features analyzed by the recommendation system. The feature categories and features may be selected based on an aggregate score that considers and combines the personalization level, the quality level, and the correlations. The quality level may be human curated or may vary directly with the ability of a feature to partition a feature space. Correlations between items and features reflect the degree to which the features are exhibited by the items. | 05-12-2016 |
20160140150 | ANALYZING DATA SOURCES FOR INACTIVE DATA - According to embodiments of the present invention, machines, systems, methods and computer program products for analyzing data sources for inactive data are presented. Data accesses within one or more data sources are monitored, and data access information is generated based on the monitored data accesses, wherein the data access information indicates accessed and non-accessed data within the one or more data sources. The data access information is applied to a profile to identify inactive data within the one or more data sources, wherein the profile includes one or more criteria for determining inactive data including a time interval for data access. Notifications of the identified inactive data within the one or more data sources are generated. | 05-19-2016 |
