US 10,380,492 B2 · Error detection in computer systems generating multi-dimensional data

Abstract

Techniques for detecting errors in a computing system are provided. In one technique, first member data that comprises first attribute values of a particular attribute is stored. Each attribute value in the first attribute values is associated with a different member of a first plurality of members. Second member data that comprises second attribute values of the particular attribute is stored. Each attribute value in the second attribute values is associated with a different member of a second plurality of members. For each attribute value of the first attribute values, a first number of instances of the attribute value in the first member data is determined, a second number of instances of the attribute value in the second member data is determined, and based on the first number and the second number, a determination of whether a notification indicating the particular attribute will be generated is made.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

storing first data set that comprises a first plurality of attribute values of a particular attribute, wherein each attribute value in the first plurality of attribute values is associated with a different user of a first plurality of users;
storing second data set that comprises a second plurality of attribute values of the particular attribute, wherein each attribute value in the second plurality of attribute values is associated with a different user of a second plurality of users;
for each attribute value of the first plurality of attribute values:
determining a first number of instances of said each attribute value in the first data set;
determining a second number of instances of said each attribute value in the second data set;
based on a difference between the first number and the second number, determining whether to generate a notification indicating the particular attribute;
wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

One or more storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause:

storing first data set that comprises a first plurality of attribute values of a particular attribute, wherein each attribute value in the first plurality of attribute values is associated with a different user of a first plurality of users;
storing second data set that comprises a second plurality of attribute values of the particular attribute, wherein each attribute value in the second plurality of attribute values is associated with a different user of a second plurality of users;
for each attribute value of the first plurality of attribute values:
determining a first number of instances of said each attribute value in the first data set;
determining a second number of instances of said each attribute value in the second data set;
based on a difference between the first number and the second number, determining whether to generate a notification indicating the particular attribute.
