Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for individually deploying batch functions in a cluster computing environment. A batch function system may receive a scheduled batch job for execution at a particular timing. Rather than deploying the corresponding batch functions as a bundled monolith, the batch function system may individually deploy corresponding batch functions. To individually deploy the batch functions, the batch function system may use a verticle data structure for defining a batch job. The batch function system may then execute a batch function corresponding to the batch job on a cluster computing platform by deploying the batch function to a pod executing on computing nodes. Upon individual completion of execution, the batch function system may release the pod and/or computing nodes to make the computing resources available. The batch function system may also preserve and pass data between pods executing batch functions.

Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for authenticating a user using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A trusted token issuer verifies a user's identity according to identifying credentials (e.g., government issued identification, passport, driver's license, etc.) presented by the user and creates a non-fungible token in response to verifying the credentials. The non-fungible token is associated with a user identifier and can be used by an access provider to authenticate a user requesting access to restricted content provided by the access provider. For example, when a client device associated with the user requests access from an access provider to an access-restricted website or other type of access-restricted area (e.g., building, concert venue, network, etc.), the access provider (e.g., website server, building computing device, venue system, etc.) uses the properties of the non-fungible token to verify one's identity and permit access upon verification.

Abstract

At least some embodiments are directed to an insights inference system that produces multiple insights associated with an entity. The insights inference system generates a decision tree machine learning model, assigning a first insight to a parent node of a decision tree machine learning model and assigning at least one second insight to child nodes of the decision tree machine learning model. Each child node is associated with a sequence number and a rank number. The sequence number and the rank number are indicative of a significance associated with the at least one second insight. The insight inference system responds to queries by traversing the decision tree machine learning model to compute at least one response insight based on the sequence number and the rank number associated with each child node and outputs the at least one response insight to a client terminal.

Disclosed are various embodiments for using decision trees for machine-learning when data is missing from a data set. A first attribute for splitting a plurality of records is identified. Then, the plurality of records are split into a first subset of records and a second subset of records. The first subset of records can include each of the plurality of records where a value is present for the first attribute and the second subset of records comprising each of the plurality of records where the value is absent for the first attribute. Finally, a node can be added to a decision tree that reflects the split of the plurality of records into the first subset of records and the second subset of records.

Abstract

Systems and methods for automated detection of website errors during a sequence of device interactions with a website. In one example, a computing device is configured to receive a website navigation sequence of a series of web page interactions between a client device and a website. The computing device can determine a predicted completion time for a next measurement of the client device executing the website navigation sequence. An actual completion time for the next measurement of the client device executing the website navigation sequence can be determined. Then, the computing device can determine an anomaly website event based on the actual competition time failing to meet a boundary threshold. The anomaly website event is determined to be a website error based on a second machine learning model being trained with a plurality of previous website errors identified from a plurality of previous website navigation sequences.
