ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,468,704, issued on Nov. 11.

"Systems and methods for artificial intelligence-based data system optimization" was invented by Angelo Kastroulis (Jacksonville Beach, Fla.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for access path selection optimization for relational database queries. Machine learning systems, such as neural networks, may be used to determine costs for each path. A neural network may be trained based on cost determinations from scans and indexes of the tree for an initial set of queries, and then may be used to predict costs for additional queries such that a path may ...
