  • Patent number: 11902299
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a multi-attribute cluster-identifier that supports identifying malicious activity in computing environments. An instance of an activity having an attribute set can be assessed. The attribute set of the instance of the activity is analyzed to determine whether the instance of the activity is a malicious activity. The attribute set of the instance of the activity is compared to a plurality of multi-attribute cluster-identifiers of previous instances of the activity, such that, a determination that the instance of the activity is a malicious activity is made when the attribute set of the instance of the activity corresponds to an identified multi-attribute cluster-identifier. The identified multi-attribute cluster-identifier has a risk score and an attribute set that indicate a likelihood that the instance of the activity is a malicious activity. A visualization that identifies the instance of the activity as a malicious activity is generated.

  • Publication number: 20220414137
    Abstract: The technology described herein determines whether a candidate text is in a requested class by using a generative model that may not be trained on the requested class. The present technology may use of a model trained primarily in an unsupervised mode, without requiring a large number of manual user-input examples of a label class. The may produce a semantically rich positive example of label text from a candidate text and label. Likewise, the technology may produce from the candidate text and the label a semantically rich negative example of label text. The labeling service makes use of a generative model to produce a generative result, which estimates the likelihood that the label properly applies to the candidate text. In another aspect, the technology is directed toward a method for obtaining a semantically rich example that is similar to a candidate text.
