US Patent 10445062 Techniques for dataset similarity discovery

The present disclosure relates to techniques for analysis of data from multiple different data sources to determine similarity amongst the datasets. Determining a similarity between datasets may be useful for downstream processing of those datasets for different uses. A graphical interface may be provided to display detailed results including: a similarity prediction, data similarity prediction, column order similarity prediction, document type similarity prediction, prediction of overlapping or related columns, orphaned column prediction (e.g., a left orphaned column or a right orphaned column). Detecting similarities may be useful for leveraging prior data transformations generated for the datasets that are analyzed.
