An inference system trains and performs inference using a sparse neural network. The sparse neural network may include one or more layers, and each layer may be associated with a set of sparse weights that represent sparse connections between nodes of a layer and nodes of a previous layer. A layer output may be generated by applying the set of sparse weights associated with the layer to the layer output of a previous layer. Moreover, the one or more layers of the sparse neural network may generate sparse layer outputs. By using sparse representations of weights and layer outputs, robustness and stability of the neural network can be significantly improved, while maintaining competitive accuracy.

Performing inference and training using sparse neural network

In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, methods and systems analyze potential logic errors or problems of a business application by receiving a model representing the business application and processing the model using an object-oriented tool. The errors or problems may be corrected in the model and the correction applied to the business application. In one exemplary embodiment, the logic errors or problems may be marked in the model for identification to a user.

Systems and methods for identifying problems of a business application in a customer support system

Embodiments consistent with the invention transform business application logic entities or structures into OOP structures that represent the data, relationships, and operations of the business application structures. The business application structures are transformed from the application level, including consideration of the business application logic and relationships. In one embodiment, transformation is done using a set of automated transformation rules. The resulting OOP structure model of the business application structure may be used with OOP tools to analyze, maintain, debug, modify, and revise the business application structure, and to create new structures for the business application.

Methods of transforming application layer structure as objects

An interactive configuration environment consistent with the present invention integrates and displays a table-based business application using a single, interactive display. When business application structures are displayed using object-oriented code structures, the business meaning of the object-oriented code structures may also be displayed in the integrated environment. Users can write a new business rule using object-oriented code, and that code may be converted into logic entities to apply the new rule in the business application. When a user rolls a mouse over an item in the object-oriented code, documentation of the underlying business meaning may be displayed in a pop-up box.

Methods of using an integrated development environment to configure business applications

Systems and methods consistent with the invention may analyze a business application's data, operations, and relationships and create a corresponding object oriented programming (OOP) model corresponding to the business application entities. In one embodiment the OOP model may be realized in the Java programming language and may include OOP objects, functions, and operators. Each OOP model accurately represents the data, relationships, and rules associated with the corresponding business entity. Once converted to an OOP model, systems and methods consistent with the invention may use standard OOP tools to understand, manipulate, design, redesign, analyze, and modify the business application. This can be done independently of the native business application system, as the OOP model is separate and independent from the business application entities. Modifications made to the OOP model may then be converted back into business application entities and installed in the native system.

Systems and methods for off-line modeling a business application

Exemplary methods and systems consistent with the present invention allow a user to compare different versions of a business application using an object-oriented model of the business application. By transforming business application structures into object-oriented structures, such as object-oriented language constructs, structures, and other elements, individual differences between versions of the business applications may be identified and displayed to a user, for example, on a user interface. A user may display object-oriented models of the business application representing, for instance, the latest control version, the latest deployed version, and a test version including test modifications. Having all three versions represented in object-oriented models allows a user to perform a three-way comparison between the object-oriented models, increasing productivity and efficiency of maintaining, debugging, modifying, controlling and deploying the business application.

Methods of comparing and merging business process configurations

A system and method for generating business content portable across multiple software applications is described. In one embodiment, a universal object model (UOM) is employed to art as an abstraction layer between business content and the application used to create the business content. The UOM generates portable business content from objects and operations uncovered by a descriptive language such as extendable mark-up language (XML). The UOM objects and/or properties are mapped to an application object model (AOM) which is capable of extending the properties and/or operations of the original business application. The portable business content is mapped from the AOM to another application in accordance to the applications application programming interface (API). The business content created by the UOM may be configured for other applications without rewriting the business content by modifying the AOM.

Portable business information content and management system

In an HTTP client-server system, an HTTP client requests an HTML document containing a persistent display element and using components available to the HTTP client for processing HTML documents, processes the requested HTML document including instantiating an instance of the persistent display element, whereby the persistent display element instance maintains a connection to an event source. When an event is received from the event source over the connection to the persistent display element instance, the received event is processed to form a change of at least a portion of a display of the HTTP client, which is displayed on the display of the HTTP client.

Browser with messaging capability and other persistent connections

A system including a method for navigating between dimensions and domains allows for an interactive response to a query based on data stored in at least one online transaction processing (OLTP) database structure and data stored in at least one online analysis processing (OLAP) database structure. The system includes a dimension to domain server which interacts with a user interface client that presents, to a user, representations of elements of the OLTP database structure and representations of elements of the OLAP database structure, wherein the user interface client also includes logic to accept a selection of representations of elements selected by the user and, if the selection comprises more than one element, an association among the elements in the selection. An element relator is provided that relates one or more elements of the OLTP database structure to one or more elements of the OLAP processing database structure when the selection of representations includes at least one element from the OLTP database structure and at least one element from the OLAP database structure. A query formulator, coupled to the user interface client, formulates the query based on the selection and any associations, wherein the query formulator is also coupled to the element relator when at least one association of the selection is an association between at least one element from the OLTP database structure and at least one element the OLAP database structure. A query server receives the query from the query formulator and provides responses to the query received from the query formulator.
