  • Publication number: 20210273965
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for security management in an industrial control system (ICS). An event entity detection and linking module generates a model for a plurality of event entities extracted from a plurality of different data sources including one ICS data source and one IT data source. The model encodes a set of linked event entities and their relationships, each event entity associated with a vector of attributevalue pairs. A data standardization of domain knowledge includes translating, by a machine learning application, extracted knowledge base information to rules for the constraints and using the rules to validate the constraints and to add new constraints. A fusion module performs temporal correlation detection across data streams of the different data sources for establishing causality between triplets of association models within a defined time span.

  • Publication number: 20210216905
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable tracking machine learning (“ML”) model data provenance. In particular, a computing device is configured to accept ML model code that, when executed, instantiates and trains an ML model, to parse the ML model code into a workflow intermediate representation (WIR), to semantically annotate the WIR to provide an annotated WIR, and to identify, based on the annotated WIR and ML API corresponding to the ML model code, data from at least one data source that is relied upon by the ML model code when training the ML model. A WIR may be generated from an abstract syntax tree (AST) based on the ML model code, generating provenance relationships (PRs) based at least in part on relationships between nodes of the AST, wherein a PR comprises one or more input variables, an operation, a caller, and one or more output variables.

  • Publication number: 20210064620
    Abstract: A query suggestion to expand an initial query is calculated whereby the cost of the expanded initial query is bounded in both time and quality. The user validates a subset of the top-n answers Q(G) to a query Q and provides adjusted configuration parameters. The top-n diversified ?-expansion terms Q? are calculated from the validated subset of answers Q(G) to the query Q and are provided to an interactive user interface for selection. Answers Q?(G) for the top-n diversified ?-expansion terms Q? are cost bounded by cost threshold ? and exploration range r specified by the user. The user selects a new term of terms Q? and an incremental query evaluation of the new term is invoked to compute expanded query answers Q?(G) by incrementally updating the validated subset of answers Q(G), without re-evaluating an expanded query Q? including the new term from scratch.

  • Publication number: 20200188170
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for implanting an intraocular lens into an eye are described. For example, an intraocular lens injector may include a plunger and an injector body that includes an insertion depth guard and a nozzle extending therefrom. The insertion depth guard is disposed at a distal end of the injector body to limit a distance that the nozzle penetrates the eye. The intraocular lens injector may also include a biasing element configured to generate a counterforce to distal movement of the plunger through the injector rod. An example intraocular lens injector may include a biasing element to produce a counterforce that opposes advancement of the plunger through the injector body. The counterforce provides for a more continuous advancement of the plunger while reducing or substantially eliminating abrupt changes in the rate at which the plunger is advanced through the injector body.
