  • Patent number: 11704558
    Abstract: A method and a system for training a machine learning algorithm (MLA) for object classification. The machine learning algorithm includes an embedding layer and a classification layer. A set of embedding indices representing a reference object is received. The set of embedding indices has been generated based on a byte representation of the reference object. A label associated with the reference object indicative of a reference class the objects belongs to is received. The MLA is iteratively trained to classify objects by embedding the set of embedding indices to obtain an input vector and by predicting an estimated class based on the input vector, and updating a parameter of at least one of the embedding layer and the updated embedding layer. The set of embedding indices is generated by parsing the byte representation to obtain byte n-grams and by applying a hash function on the byte n-grams.

  • Patent number: 11675838
    Abstract: An approach is provided for completing a pipeline graph. Using a deep learning based sequence model, an initial data pipeline having a sequence of nodes is generated. Mismatch(es) between data formats required by input and output in the sequence of nodes is identified. Virtual gap node(s) that correct the mismatch(es) are added to the initial data pipeline. For a given virtual gap node, tentative graph structures are determined using knowledge graphs and a crowd sourced validation system. Reuse forecast scores and performance scores for the tentative graph structures are calculated. Based on the reuse forecast scores and the performance scores, a final graph structure for implementing the given virtual gap node is determined.
