Patent number: 11146580Abstract: Script and command line exploitation detection is described. Initially, an exploitation detection system collects data describing scripts and command lines launched by various computing devices. The exploitation detection system clusters the scripts and command lines based on a measure of similarity, namely, Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) score.

Patent number: 11087081Abstract: A synthetic document generator that obtains a configuration for a synthetic document derived from real-world documents. The configuration specifies element templates to be included in the synthetic document and weights for the specified element templates. The system generates synthetic documents based on the configuration; the synthetic documents include diversified versions of the element templates specified in the configuration. Annotation documents are generated for the synthetic documents that include information describing the respective synthetic documents. A machine learning model for analyzing real-world documents can then be trained using the synthetic and annotation documents. Feedback from the analysis of real-world documents by the machine learning model can be used to generate a new configuration for generating additional synthetic and annotation documents which are used to further train the model.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Amulya Srivastava, Vivek Bhadauria, Gowtham Jeyabalan, Paul H.

Patent number: 11010684Abstract: This application concerns quantum computing, and in particular to structures and mechanisms for providing topologically protected quantum computation. In certain embodiments, a magnetic tunnel barrier is controlled that separates Majorona zero modes (“MZMs”) from an edge area (e.g., a gapless edge) of a quantum spin hall system. In particular implementations, the magnetic tunnel barrier is formed from a pair of magnetic insulators whose magnetization is held constant, and the magnetic tunnel barrier is tuned by controlling a gate controlling the electron density around the magnetic insulator in the QSH plane, thereby forming a quantum dot. And, in some implementations, a state of the quantum dot is read out (e.g., using a charge sensor as disclosed herein).Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Dmitry I.

Patent number: 11010450Abstract: The disclosed technology concerns example embodiments for estimating eigenvalues of quantum operations using a quantum computer. Such estimations are useful in performing Shor's algorithm for factoring, quantum simulation, quantum machine learning, and other various quantum computing applications. Existing approaches to phase estimation are sub-optimal, difficult to program, require prohibitive classical computing, and/or require too much classical or quantum memory to be run on existing devices. Embodiments of the disclosed approach address one or more (e.g., all) of these drawbacks. Certain examples work by using a random walk for the estimate of the eigenvalue that (e.g., only) keeps track of the current estimate and the measurement record that it observed to reach that point.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christopher Granade, Nathan O.

Patent number: 10983682Abstract: Time-series projections can be analyzed and manipulated via an interactive graphical user interface generated by a system. The graphical user interface can include a graph depicting an aggregated time-series projection (ATSP) over a future time. The ATSP can be generated by aggregating multiple time-series. The system can receive user input indicating that an existing value in the ATSP is to be overridden with an override value. In response, the system can adjust the ATSP using the override value to generate an updated version of the ATSP. The system can display the updated version of the ATSP in the graphical user interface. The system can also propagate the impact of overriding the existing value with the override value through the multiple time-series. The system can display an impact analysis portion within the graphical user interface indicating the impact of overriding the existing value with the override value on the multiple time-series.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: SAS INSTITUTE INC.Inventors: Michael James Leonard, Jie Zhong, Kyungduck Cha, Rajendra Singh Solanki, Rajib Nath, Macklin Frazier, Li Xu
