  • Patent number: 11822446
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a novel approach of applying Machine Learning, statistical methods and/or other algorithms to identify associations of input conditions and values with results of requirements, measures of performance assessments, and/or other indications. These associations may be provided to an analyst, system designer, other recipient and/or receiving system or component to inform of input conditions and values that uncover system sensitivities.

  • Patent number: 10929258
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to an optimal event-driven anomaly detection scheme. The present invention recognizes that anomaly detection based solely on rules-based (deterministic) or probabilistic analysis alone are insufficient to capture and respond to ever evolving, highly sophisticated threats that tend to persist within a system undetected for long periods of time. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tiered detection scheme composed of behavioral analysis and machine-learned probabilistic system behaviors provides an optimal level of sensitivity to detect and respond to threats, and further limits the number of false positives identified.

  • Patent number: 10572821
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a computer implemented system that automates development, maintenance and execution of procedures to autonomously interact with one or more external devices, comprises: an input configured to receive interaction data and to detect state data from an external computer system, the user interaction data comprising GUI data; a memory component configured to store the interaction data, the state data and relationship data between objects, events and resultant states where an event represents an interaction with the external computer system and where a resultant state represents a state resulting from an interaction; a semantic processor configured to interpret the interaction data into semantic objects and develop a system model, using a learning algorithm, based on the semantic objects, the state data and the relationship data; and an execution processor configured to execute tasks and roles accounting for environmental perturbations and system randomness.
