  • Patent number: 10776708
    Abstract: A relational event history is determined based on a data set, the relational event history including a set of relational events that occurred in time among a set of actors. Data is populated in a probability model based on the relational event history, where the probability model is formulated as a series of conditional probabilities that correspond to a set of sequential decisions by an actor for each relational event, where the probability model includes one or more statistical parameters and corresponding statistics. A baseline communications behavior for the relational event history is determined based on the populated probability model, and departures within the relational event history from the baseline communications behavior are determined.

  • Patent number: 10705855
    Abstract: Systems, method, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium are provided for configuring an information computing machine during execution of a kernel image. The system can create a file system from a base file system image in system memory of the computing system, apply configuration files from a bundle image to the file system in memory, copy files from a persistent file system stored in the storage resource to memory, validate the files from the persistent file system, and apply validated files to the file system in memory. The base file system image and bundle image can be verified by comparing a signed hash of the image with a hash generated by the initial file system and checking the hash signature against a public certificate included in the initial filesystem. The system can further execute /sbin/init and start application services.
