Dynamic indexing in key-value stores

Devices and techniques are generally described for key-value store having improved support for indexing and querying. The proposed system can expand query functionality by adding compound indexing. In some implementations, compound index may allow multiple simple key-value store queries (e.g., for multiple event types) to be replaced with a single query. In some implementations, compound index may allow for query filtering otherwise unavailable for the key-value store. The system may return results from the compound query in timestamp order and with appropriate pagination. Indexing may be updated dynamically; for example, manually via a self-service portal and / or automatically in response to frequent query combinations. The expanded query functionality can improve the efficiency and usability of, for example, an event timeline system.

Automated chatbots that detect privacy data sharing and leakage by other automated chatbot systems

There are provided systems and methods for automated chatbots that detect privacy data sharing and leakage by other automated chatbot systems. A service provider and other chatbot services, including an electronic transaction processor, may provide self-service channels for assistance through chatbot and other automated computing processes. However, these chatbots may be regulated by compliance with privacy protection requirements, and therefore use of the chatbots and / or user data when responding to users via chatbots in chat sessions may be noncompliant and / or attacked by malicious users to compromise privacy protected data. In order to facilitate detection of leaks and shares by chatbots, an AI for a privacy protection chatbot may be trained on regulations for chatbot use and / or data security and privacy protection. The chatbot may then interact with other chatbots and question the other chatbots using the trained AI model to detect whether privacy protected data is exposed.
