  • Patent number: 11824851
    Abstract: Computer systems and methods are provided for determining authenticity of a document. A computer system receives first image data from a remote third party. The first image data includes a first image of a document. The computer system generates an image hash based on at least a portion of the received image data. The computer system compares the generated image hash with a stored image hash to determine whether the generated image hash meets image matching criteria. The stored image hash is associated with a first predetermined authentication decision. In accordance with a determination that the generated image hash meets the image matching criteria, the computer system transmits the first predetermined authentication decision to the remote third party.

  • Patent number: 11818163
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to training a machine learning model to handle adversarial attacks. In some embodiments, a computer system perturbs, using a set of adversarial attack methods, a set of training examples used to train a machine learning model. In some embodiments, the computer system identifies, from among the perturbed set of training examples, a set of sparse perturbed training examples that are usable to train machine learning models to identify adversarial attacks, where the set of sparse perturbed training examples includes examples whose perturbations are below a perturbation threshold and whose classifications satisfy a classification difference threshold. In some embodiments, the computer system retrains, using the set of sparse perturbed training examples, the machine learning model. The disclosed techniques may advantageously enable a machine learning model to correctly classify data associated with adversarial attacks.

  • Patent number: 11777949
    Abstract: An illustrative computing system for a dynamic user access control management system classifies users and data resources according to their risk and importance by a user management engine with artificial intelligence, machine learning characteristics. The dynamic user access control management system analyzes the log files of data resources to measure system performance characteristics and user access behavior. This system monitors the device and network by which a data access request to a data resource is made. The dynamic user access control management system validates the leave status of a user initiating a data access request. The dynamic user access control management system automatically determines a user access level for a data resource through intelligent analysis of collected information and defers to a user's manager for an access level determination when the determination to grant an access level is outside of the knowledge base of the user management engine.

  • Patent number: 11768304
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a data stream comprising content generated by an application executing on a user device. The data stream is received from a guidance service that is separate from the application. The data stream is processed using a set of machine learning models to identify a first set of artifacts within the content. A first state of the application is identified based on the first set of artifacts. First transition data is identified in a logic flow of the application. The first transition data corresponds to transitioning from the first state to a second state of the application. Based on the first transition data, first guidance data is generated that describes user input for transitioning the application from the first state to the second state. The first guidance data is sent to the user device, where it is separately presented from the application by the guidance service.

  • Patent number: 11770413
    Abstract: A resource database which stores structured data describing resources from a diverse array of origins (e.g., an application or cloud environment) is built and maintained to support querying, policy enforcement, and remediation of resources from any origin. Structured data representing resources are obtained from any origin for insertion and categorized based on their type and/or origin. Resources within a category have a shared set of potential object paths as defined by the hierarchical tree structure of their structured data. Resources may be correlated across categories based on having values at different object paths in common. Queries and rules/policies can thus reference resources of any category and also resources across different categories based on correlations between the resources, thereby extending rule/policy enforcement and incident remediation across multiple different origins of resources.

  • Patent number: 11770308
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for user interface deployment that include a server with a cloud application and a client device with a client application. The cloud application is a fully functional application, such as a headless application, and transmits scene graph data including presentation data and behavior data for a first set of user interface elements viewable at the client device in a first operational state. The client application locally renders the first set of user interface elements on a client device display to locally render the portion of the scene graph related to the first operational state. In response to a user input, the client application transmits event or state data to the cloud application and may perform an action associated with the user input while awaiting receipt of updated scene graph data, possibly related to a subsequent operational state, reducing or eliminating the perception of latency.
