[0074] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings.

[0075] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementation described in the following exemplary embodiments does not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0076] It should also be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data for display, analyzed data, etc.) involved in the present disclosure are all information and data authorized by the user or authorized by all parties.

[0077] The workflow creation method provided by the present disclosure can be applied to an application environment as shown in Figure 1 The terminal 110 interacts with the configuration server 120 through the network.

[0078] The terminal 110 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, notebook computers, smart phones, tablet computers, Internet of Things devices, and portable wearable devices. The configuration server 120, which can also be referred to as a configuration center, can be implemented by an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers. It can be understood that the method can also be independently applied to the terminal 110 or the configuration server 120.

[0079] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a workflow creation method according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The method is used as an example for the configuration server 120, and includes the following steps.

[0080] In step S210, in response to a workflow creation request, configuration information corresponding to a target workflow to be created is obtained.

[0081] The target workflow can be a workflow for obtaining training data. It can be understood that the target workflow can be a processing process composed of multiple processing links or businesses for obtaining training data. In an example, all the workflows mentioned in the present disclosure can be workflows for obtaining training data.

[0082] Specifically, the workflow for obtaining training data can also be referred to as a training data construction flow or a material construction flow, and the training data, also referred to as material data, can refer to data used for training a model or assisting model training in a data mining process, for example, can include training samples or labels corresponding to the training samples. In the present disclosure, obtaining training data can refer to obtaining training data from a data source; of course, it can also refer to that the training data user obtains the training data, for example, can include obtaining the training data from the data source, to providing the training data to the training data user.

[0083] The workflow creation request can be a request for creating a workflow for obtaining training data.

[0084] The configuration information can be information used to define variable factors in the target workflow. There are differences between different workflows, and the staff can adjust the workflow according to the actual situation and set the corresponding configuration information.

[0085] In actual application, the terminal 110 can send a workflow creation request to the configuration server 120. In response to the received workflow creation request, the configuration server 120 can obtain the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow to be created.

[0086] Specifically, the staff can pre-set the corresponding configuration information for the target workflow to be created through the terminal 110, and when the terminal 110 detects a trigger operation, a workflow creation request carrying the target workflow configuration information can be generated and sent to the configuration server 120. After receiving the workflow creation request, the configuration server 120 can obtain the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow by reading the request.

[0087] In step S220, the pre-determined common logic is obtained, and the calling relationship of the common logic to the configuration information is determined.

[0088] The common logic can be used to record the same common processing link in different workflows.

[0089] In specific implementation, different workflows have differences, but also have the same common processing link, for example, workflow A and workflow B are different workflows, but can both include the same common processing link a.

[0090] Based on this, the common logic can be pre-determined, which can record the same common processing link in different workflows, and then after receiving the workflow creation request, the common logic can be obtained, and the calling relationship of the common logic to the target workflow configuration information can be determined.

[0091] Specifically, the configuration information can be information defined for variable factors in a common processing link. Different workflows can include the same common processing link, but the specific processing manner in the common processing link is different. For example, workflow A and workflow B both include transmitting the currently obtained training data to a training data user. If workflow A and workflow B are respectively used to obtain different types of training data, the corresponding training data users can also be different. At this time, the variable factors of the common processing link in the common logic can be configured through the configuration information. When the workflow creation request is received, the calling relationship of the configuration information to the common logic can be determined.

[0092] In step 230, based on the common logic and the calling relationship, an initial workflow is created; when the initial workflow runs, the configuration information is obtained based on the calling relationship, and a target workflow is obtained.

[0093] As an example, the initial workflow can be a workflow configured on the configuration server 120.

[0094] After obtaining the common logic and the calling relationship, the initial workflow can be created based on the common logic and the calling relationship. Specifically, after obtaining the calling relationship, the configuration manner for the variable factors of the common processing link in the common logic can be determined, and then the initial workflow can be created according to the common logic of different workflows and the calling relationship corresponding to the configuration information of the target workflow.

[0095] When the initial workflow runs, the configuration server can obtain the configuration information corresponding to the current common logic based on the calling relationship, configure the initial workflow, and obtain the target workflow.

[0096] In the above workflow creation method, the configuration server 120 can obtain the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow to be created for obtaining training data in response to a workflow creation request, and obtain a pre-determined common logic and determine the calling relationship of the common logic to the configuration information, wherein the common logic is used to record the same common processing link in different workflows, and then an initial workflow can be created based on the common logic and the calling relationship. When the initial workflow runs, the configuration information is obtained based on the calling relationship, and the target workflow is obtained. In the scheme of the present disclosure, by pre-determining the common logic of different workflows, the repeated code development work can be reduced when creating the target workflow, and at the same time, the target workflow is flexibly customized through the configuration information, avoiding writing a large amount of code, and effectively improving the workflow creation efficiency.

[0097] In an example embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes the following steps. Figure 3 The step 230 of creating an initial workflow based on the common logic and the calling relationship includes:

[0098] In step 231, the custom logic corresponding to the target workflow is obtained.

[0099] The custom logic can be specifically custom training data construction logic, and specifically, the custom logic can be a custom training data processing link in the target workflow.

[0100] In actual application, the common logic of the workflow can be a common processing link included in different workflows. In the creation process of the workflow, although the common logic is determined in advance, due to the differences in the training data to be finally obtained, the differences in the training data users or the differences in the use mode, the processing flow of different training data is different, therefore, the user can customize the construction logic of the training data for the target workflow to be created, generate the custom logic, and send it to the configuration server 120, so that the configuration server 120 can obtain the custom logic corresponding to the target workflow.

[0101] In step 232, an initial workflow is created based on the custom logic, the common logic and the calling relationship.

[0102] After obtaining the custom logic, the configuration server 120 can create an initial workflow based on the custom logic, the common logic and the calling relationship. Specifically, based on the custom logic and the common logic, the overall flow of obtaining the training data can be determined, and the calling relationship can further determine the configuration information corresponding to the common logic, and then the initial workflow can be created according to the custom logic, the common logic and the calling relationship.

[0103] In the present disclosure, by obtaining the custom logic corresponding to the target workflow, and creating an initial workflow based on the custom logic, the common logic and the calling relationship, the repeated development work for the common logic can be reduced in the construction process of the target workflow, while the flexibility of the target workflow creation can be taken into account, and efficient and simple training data construction is realized.

[0104] In an exemplary embodiment, before obtaining the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow to be created in response to the workflow creation request, it can further include:

[0105] Determine the common processing links corresponding to a plurality of historical workflows, and obtain the common logic based on the common processing links.

[0106] The historical workflow is a created workflow for obtaining training data. The common processing link can be a processing link set for obtaining training data and shared by multiple historical workflows. In an example, the common processing link can be a processing link generally involved for obtaining training data. For example, the common processing link can include at least two processing links: determining a training data type or a training data source, updating a version number, calling custom logic, verifying feature information of the training data, monitoring training data acquisition, and sending the training data.

[0107] The determining of the training data type or the training data source can refer to determining which type of data is obtained as training data. For example, if different training data corresponding data identifiers (IDs) are to be obtained in the process of obtaining training data, it can be determined in advance that the data identifier is a data identifier of what kind of data. Based on different training data types, in an example, the data identifier can be at least one of the following: a video identifier, an account identifier, a picture identifier, a business identifier, and a multimedia content identifier.

[0108] In a specific implementation, multiple historical workflows can be obtained. By analyzing the multiple historical workflows, the common processing links corresponding to the multiple historical workflows can be obtained. After the service end 120 determines the common processing links corresponding to the multiple historical workflows, the common logic of the multiple historical workflows can be obtained based on the common processing links.

[0109] For example, if the common processing link is multiple common processing links, the order of the multiple common processing links can be determined, and the common logic can be generated according to the multiple common processing links and the corresponding order.

[0110] In the present disclosure, by determining the common processing links corresponding to the multiple historical workflows and obtaining the common logic based on the common processing links, the common points of different workflows can be obtained, which provides a basis for reducing repeated development work in the workflow construction process and effectively saves human cost.

[0111] In an example embodiment, after obtaining the common logic based on the common processing links, the method further includes:

[0112] generating an abstract class for implementing the common logic, and saving the abstract class.

[0113] In a specific implementation, after the common logic of different workflows is determined, an abstract class for implementing the common logic can be generated in advance, and the abstract class is saved.

[0114] In step 230, based on the common logic and the calling relationship, an initial workflow is created, which can include:

[0115] An abstract class corresponding to the common logic is acquired; based on the abstract class and the custom logic corresponding to the target workflow acquired in advance, an inherited class is generated; and based on the inherited class and the calling relationship, an initial workflow is created.

[0116] The inherited class is inherited from the abstract class and has the custom logic defined.

[0117] In a specific implementation, a staff member can create the custom logic corresponding to the target workflow and send it to the configuration server 120. After receiving the workflow creation request and determining the calling relationship, the configuration server 120 can acquire the abstract class corresponding to the common logic, and based on the abstract class, generate the corresponding inherited class, which is a class inherited from the abstract class, and at the same time, the custom logic acquired in advance can be defined in the inherited class. After obtaining the inherited class, the initial workflow can be created based on the inherited class and the calling relationship. In an example, the staff member can customize the name of the target workflow, and save the customized name in the inherited class to determine that the inherited class is the inherited class associated with the target workflow to be created.

[0118] In the present disclosure, by pre-generating and saving the abstract class for implementing the common logic, and when creating the target workflow, inheriting the abstract class and defining the custom logic corresponding to the target workflow in the obtained inherited class, the common logic code can be avoided from being repeatedly written, while the flexible construction of the workflow is implemented, and the creation efficiency and flexibility of the workflow are taken into account.

[0119] In an example embodiment, before acquiring the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow to be created in response to the workflow creation request, the following can also be included:

[0120] The change data content corresponding to each public processing link in the common logic is acquired; and based on the data items corresponding to each change data content, a plurality of configuration items of the common logic are determined.

[0121] The configuration items can be used to configure the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow to be created.

[0122] The change data content can be the data content of the same public processing link of different workflows that has changed.

[0123] In actual application, although the public processing link in the common logic has been determined, in a specific implementation, different processing methods can be used in the same public processing link for different workflows. For example, if the public processing link includes transmitting training data to the corresponding training data user, different workflows can have different training data users.

[0124] After obtaining the public logic based on the public processing links corresponding to the historical workflow, the change data content corresponding to each public processing link in the public logic can be obtained, and the data item corresponding to the change data content is determined. For example, the data item corresponding to the change data content can include at least one of the following: storage address of training data, trigger condition for obtaining training data, time interval for obtaining training data, feature dimension of training data.

[0125] After determining the data item corresponding to the change data content, the plurality of configuration items corresponding to the public logic can be determined based on the data item corresponding to each change data content. The configuration item can be used to set the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow to be created. Therefore, when creating the target workflow, the worker can set the configuration item to generate the corresponding configuration information. For example, when creating the target workflow, the terminal 110 can display the plurality of configuration items obtained in advance, and the worker can customize the information of each configuration item to generate the configuration information. Alternatively, in another example, for each configuration item, the corresponding option can also be provided in advance, so that the configuration information can be obtained based on the selected option.

[0126] In the present disclosure, by obtaining the change data content corresponding to each public processing link in the public logic, and determining the plurality of configuration items of the public logic based on the data item corresponding to each change data content, the change data content of the public processing link involved in the workflow creation process can be abstracted into a configuration, so that the definition and subsequent management of the change factors of the public processing link in the public logic can be realized in the form of configuration. At the same time, it can provide a basis for the rapid configuration of the implementation of each public processing link in the subsequent public logic.

[0127] In an exemplary embodiment, after receiving the workflow creation request, the configuration information obtained by the configuration server 120 can be the configuration information corresponding to each of the plurality of configuration items. In step 230, when the initial workflow is running, the configuration information is obtained based on the calling relationship to obtain the target workflow, which can include:

[0128] When the initial workflow is running, the plurality of configuration information is obtained based on the calling relationship, and the plurality of configuration information is encapsulated to obtain the corresponding configuration class. The configuration class is sent to the initial workflow as a workflow parameter, and the initial workflow is parameter configured to obtain the target workflow.

[0129] In actual application, after creating the initial workflow, if the initial workflow is running, for example, when the initial workflow is online, the plurality of configuration information can be obtained based on the calling relationship, and the plurality of configuration information is encapsulated to determine the encapsulation result as the corresponding configuration class.

[0130] After obtaining the configuration class, the configuration class can be sent as a working parameter to the initial workflow to perform parameter configuration on the initial workflow, so as to obtain the target workflow.

[0131] In the present disclosure, when there are multiple configuration information, the multiple configuration information can be encapsulated as a configuration class and sent to the initial workflow in a parameter manner to perform parameter configuration, so that the configuration information can be sent in multiple times can be avoided, the speed of obtaining the workflow parameter by the initial workflow can be improved, and the creation efficiency of the target workflow can be improved.

[0132] In an example embodiment, the initial workflow is parameter configured to obtain the target workflow, including:

[0133] The initial workflow corresponding inheritance class is parameter configured to obtain the configured inheritance class, and the target workflow is obtained based on the configured inheritance class.

[0134] In a specific implementation, after obtaining the configuration class corresponding to the multiple configuration information, the configuration class can be sent as a workflow parameter to the initial workflow, and then the initial workflow corresponding inheritance class can be parameter configured by the sent configuration class to obtain the configured inheritance class, and then the target workflow can be obtained based on the configured inheritance class.

[0135] In actual application, when the inheritance class is configured, the abstract class inherited by the inheritance class can be parameter configured based on the configuration information in the configuration class, so that the configuration of the variable factor in the public logic can be realized by parameter configuring the abstract class.

[0136] In the present disclosure, the inheritance class can be parameter configured in a configuration parameter manner to obtain the target workflow, avoiding directly deploying the call of the configuration information of the public logic online, and providing a basis for rapid update of the target workflow.

[0137] In an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The method can further include the following steps:

[0138] In step 240, in response to the workflow update request, configuration update information corresponding to the target workflow is obtained, and the stored configuration information corresponding to the target workflow is updated based on the configuration update information to obtain updated configuration information.

[0139] As an example, the configuration update information can include a configuration item to be updated and configuration information corresponding to the configuration item.

[0140] In actual application, the terminal 110 can send a workflow update request to the configuration service end 120 to request updating the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow. The terminal 110 can add configuration update information in the workflow update request, and the configuration service end 120 can obtain the configuration update information corresponding to the target workflow from the workflow update request and update the stored configuration information corresponding to the target workflow based on the configuration update information to obtain updated configuration information in response to the received workflow update request.

[0141] In specific implementation, the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow can include configuration information corresponding to one or more configuration items. After obtaining the configuration update information, the configuration item to be updated of the target workflow can be obtained from the configuration update information, and the configuration information corresponding to the configuration item is used to update the current configuration information of the target workflow to obtain updated configuration information.

[0142] In step 250, the initial workflow is re-run, the updated configuration information is obtained based on the calling relationship, and the updated target workflow is obtained.

[0143] After updating the configuration information, the initial workflow can be re-run, and the updated configuration information can be obtained based on the calling relationship of the configuration information corresponding to the target workflow in the initial workflow. Then, the parameter configuration of the common processing link involved in the common logic can be performed based on the configuration information, and the updated target workflow is obtained.

[0144] In related technologies, if the workflow needs to be modified, the code corresponding to the workflow often needs to be modified, and the updated workflow can be used only after re-deployment and online. This leads to low efficiency of updating the workflow. In the present disclosure, the variable data content in the common logic is set to be set through the configuration item. When the workflow needs to be modified, the configuration information can be directly modified. When the target workflow is re-run, the configuration service end 120 can obtain the updated configuration information through the calling relationship, and obtain the updated target workflow based on the updated configuration information.

[0145] For example, if the common logic includes training and sending training data to a corresponding training data user, the training data user is a configuration item, and the staff can determine the sending object of the training data by adjusting the configuration information corresponding to the configuration item. When the sending object is changed from the original object X to object Y, the corresponding configuration information can be modified to generate updated configuration information. When the initial workflow is re-run, the updated configuration information "object Y" can be obtained based on the calling relationship, and the updated target workflow can be obtained. When the target workflow is run, the training data is sent to object Y.

[0146] In this disclosure, in response to a workflow update request, configuration update information corresponding to the target workflow is obtained, and based on the configuration update information, the stored configuration information corresponding to the target workflow is updated to obtain the updated configuration information. Thus, when the initial workflow is rerun, the updated configuration information can be obtained based on the call relationship to obtain the updated target workflow without modifying the code, avoiding redeployment of the workflow after modifying the configuration information, and realizing hot updating of the workflow.

[0147] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the above steps, the following example illustrates the embodiments of this disclosure, but it should be understood that the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0148] In practical applications, multiple historical workflows can be obtained, and the common processing steps corresponding to these workflows can be identified. Then, based on each common processing step, common logic (also known as abstract flow) corresponding to the multiple historical workflows can be proposed, and an abstract class can be created to implement the common logic.

[0149] After determining the common logic, the factors that cause changes within it can be further identified. Specifically, the changing data content corresponding to each common processing step in the common logic can be obtained, and the factors causing changes in the common logic can be determined based on the data items corresponding to the changing data content. After obtaining the data items corresponding to the changing data content, one or more data items can be used as configuration items. When a user creates a target workflow, they can view multiple configuration items on the terminal, set the configuration information corresponding to each configuration item, and send it to the configuration server 120 as the configuration information for the target workflow. Simultaneously, custom logic corresponding to the target workflow can also be sent to the configuration server 120.

[0150] After obtaining the configuration information and custom logic, the configuration server 120 can store the received configuration information, determine the calling relationship of the public logic for the received configuration information, and create a subclass that inherits from the abstract class. The subclass can define the custom logic corresponding to the target workflow, and then create the initial workflow based on the calling relationship and the subclass.

[0151] like Figure 5 As shown, during the initial workflow execution, the workflow identifier corresponding to the initial workflow can be read, such as the custom name corresponding to the workflow. Then, based on the common processing steps initialized by parameters in the common logic, the corresponding configuration information can be obtained from multiple stored configuration information.

[0152] Specifically, when the parameter initialization is performed, the configuration server can obtain the associated configuration information from the stored plurality of configuration information according to the custom name corresponding to the initial workflow, for example, obtain a plurality of configuration information such as "Name: {…}". After obtaining the configuration information, the plurality of configuration information can be encapsulated as a configuration class, and sent to the initial workflow as a parameter for parameter initialization.

[0153] After the parameter initialization, the target workflow can be obtained, and the training data can be constructed according to the unified construction framework in the workflow, and the custom logic is called, and finally the training data constructed by the target workflow can be output. The unified construction framework refers to the calling of each process method completed by the abstract class after abstraction.

[0154] It should be understood that, although Figures 2-5 The steps in the flowchart of the method are displayed in sequence according to the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in sequence, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figures 2-5 At least part of the steps in the method can include a plurality of steps or a plurality of stages, which are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be alternately executed with at least part of other steps or steps or stages in other steps.
