Patent number: 11856021Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, program products, and systems for provenance-based defense against poison attacks are disclosed. In one approach, a method includes: receiving observations and corresponding provenance data from data sources; determining whether the observations are poisoned based on the corresponding provenance data; and removing the poisoned observation(s) from a final training dataset used to train a final prediction model. Another implementation involves provenance-based defense against poison attacks in a fully untrusted data environment. Untrusted data points are grouped according to provenance signature, and the groups are used to train learning algorithms and generate complete and filtered prediction models. The results of applying the prediction models to an evaluation dataset are compared, and poisoned data points identified where the performance of the filtered prediction model exceeds the performance of the complete prediction model.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nathalie Baracaldo-Angel, Bryant Chen, Evelyn Duesterwald, Heiko H.

Patent number: 11806158Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can adjust an alarm setting based on the sleep onset latency duration detected for a user of the mobile device. For example, sleep onset latency can be the amount of time it takes for the user to fall asleep after the user attempts to go to sleep (e.g., goes to bed). The mobile device can determine when the user intends or attempts to go to sleep based on detected sleep ritual activities. Sleep ritual activities can include those activities a user performs in preparation for sleep. The mobile device can determine when the user is asleep based on detected sleep signals (e.g., biometric data, sounds, etc.). In some implementations, the mobile device can determine recurring patterns of long or short sleep onset latency and present suggestions that might help the user sleep better or feel more rested.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2023Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Roy J.

Patent number: 11722884Abstract: In certain embodiments, a (e.g., 5G) wireless network has a (e.g., CBSD) base station and any suitable number of instances of user equipment (UE). For each group of one or more UEs, one of the UEs is designated as a primary UE that stores UE context information for the other (secondary) UEs in the UE group. To connect to a secondary UE, the base station can retrieve the UE context information from the secondary UE's associated primary UE without having to retrieve the secondary UE's context information from the core network, thereby reducing backbone bandwidth usage and delays in connecting the secondary UE, especially when many secondary UE request connections within a short time interval.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventor: Volkan Sevindik
