Each transaction submits the identifiers of modified rows to the ReTSO, the transaction is committed only if none of the modified rows is committed by a concurrent transaction, and a log of the committed transaction is cached. To recover from failures, before a client is notified of a change, the change cached is first persisted into a write-ahead log, such that the memory state can be fully reconstructed by reading from the write-ahead log. Furthermore, ReTSO implements a lazy, auto-garbage collector hash map that reduces the number of memory accesses per request. | 2015-07-09 |

| 20150193523 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR INTERACTIVE DISPLAYS BASED ON ASSOCIATIONS FOR MACHINE-GUIDED RULE CREATION - This disclosure provides a computer-program product, system, method and apparatus for accessing a representation of a category or item and accessing a set of multiple transactions. The transactions are processed to identify items found amongst the transactions, and the items are ordered based on an information-gain heuristic. A depth-first search for a group of best association rules is then conducted using a best-first heuristic and constraints that make the search efficient. The best rules found during the search can then be displayed to a user, along with accompanying statistics. The user can then select rules that appear to be most relevant, and further analytics can be applied to the selected rules to obtain further information about the information provided by these rules. | 2015-07-09 |
| 20150193524 | Identifying, categorizing and recording a quality of an entity/resource association - A data model extends or supplements an entity/resource association to include a “quality” of that association, where the quality is defined by an ordered set of relative values/characteristics. In an example scenario, an entity/resource association is augmented to include a quality characteristic that is defined by a tuple that is preferably an ordered set of relative values. The number of values and their designations in the data model will depend on nature of the underlying entity/resource association. When entity/resource associations are annotated to include relative quality values in this manner, much more useful comparisons of apparently similar entity/resource associations may be carried out. | 2015-07-09 |
| 20150193525 | TAGGING OF ELECTRONIC CONTENT - A method, system, and/or computer program product manages content tags of electronic postings. A first weighted tag is received from a first reader of an electronic posting that supports tagging by non-authors. The first weighted tag, which includes a first weight, comprises metadata that describes the electronic posting. A second weighted tag, which includes a second weight, is received from a second reader of the electronic posting. The first and second weights are summed to generate a summed weight of the first and second weighted tags. In response to the summed weight of the first and second weighted tags being less than a predefined value, the metadata is automatically prohibited from being displayed with the electronic posting. | 2015-07-09 |
| 20150193526 | SCHEMALESS DATA ACCESS MANAGEMENT - Techniques are described for managing data between an in-memory data grid and a schemaless data store. In one example, a method includes generating hash codes for one or more keys. Each key is associated with one data item from a plurality of data items in the schemaless data store. The method further includes storing the hash codes in a persistent data structure. The method further includes receiving a request via the in-memory data grid to access a selected data item, wherein the selected data item has an associated key. The method further includes deriving a hash code for the key associated with the selected data item. The method further includes determining whether the derived hash code is present in the persistent data structure. The method further includes performing an operation based on the determination of whether the derived hash code is present in the persistent data structure. | 2015-07-09 |
| 20150193527 | INTELLIGENT EMBEDDED EXPERIENCE GADGET SELECTION - A method for selecting an embedded experience gadget may include displaying an activity stream of a user on a social network, the activity stream comprising a plurality of events and detecting selection of an event from the plurality of events by the user. The method may also include determining a level of intersection between the selected event and each of a plurality of known gadgets and finding an optimal embedded experience gadget from the plurality of known gadgets based on the level of intersection between the selected event and each known gadget. The method may additionally include associating the optimal embedded experience gadget with the selected event and displaying the optimal embedded experience gadget in association with the selected event. | 2015-07-09 |
| 20150193528 | Identifying Textual Terms in Response to a Visual Query - A method, system, and computer readable storage medium is provided for identifying textual terms in response to a visual query is provided. A server system receives a visual query from a client system. The visual query is responded to as follows. A set of image feature values for the visual query is generated. The set of image feature values is mapped to a plurality of textual terms, including a weight for each of the textual terms in the plurality of textual terms. The textual terms are ranked in accordance with the weights of the textual terms. Then, in accordance with the ranking the textual terms, one or more of the ranked textual terms are sent to the client system. | 2015-07-09 |
