  • Transforming data associated with a file based on file system attributes
    Patent number: 11216411
    Abstract: A technique includes intercepting, by a computer, an input/output (I/O) request that is directed to a file; and in response to the interception of the I/O request, accessing, by the computer, file system attributes that are associated with the file and are stored separately from the file. The technique includes classifying, by the computer, the I/O request based on the file system attributes; and performing, by the computer, a data transformation that is associated with the file based on the classification.

  • DETERMINATIONS OF WHETHER EVENTS ARE ANOMALOUS
    Publication number: 20210373977
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a memory on which is stored instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to cluster a set of data points into a hierarchy of a plurality of clusters, in which each level of the hierarchy includes a different number of the plurality of clusters. The processor may also select a number of the plurality of clusters to be used in modeling behaviors of the plurality of clusters and for each cluster of the selected number of the plurality of clusters, determine a distribution type of the cluster. The processor may further merge the distribution types of the clusters to generate a mixture model, identify an event, evaluate the event based on the generated mixture model to determine whether the event is likely anomalous, and based on a determination that the event is likely anomalous, execute a response action.

  • Anomaly detection based on higher-order anomaly score
    Patent number: 11150976
    Abstract: First-order anomaly scores are received from related anomaly detectors. Each first-order anomaly score indicates a likelihood of an anomaly at a target system. A relatedness measure of the related anomaly detectors is determined, based on the first-order anomaly scores that have been received. A higher-order anomaly score is determined based on the relatedness measure that has been determined. The higher-order anomaly score indicates a likelihood of an anomaly at the target system. An anomaly at the target system is detected based on the higher-order anomaly score.

  • Time-limited dynamic testing pipelines
    Patent number: 11119901
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may generate automated and dynamic fail-fast testing pipelines that are efficiently executed to quickly identify tests for which changes to components such as an application will likely fail. The processor may train a classifier to predict whether changes to the application will fail a test procedure and use the classifier to generate machine-learned predictions of test outcomes to generate failure probabilities. The testing pipeline may be dynamically re-ordered based on the failure probabilities. The processor may also group the test procedures into lifecycle stages. Historical performance data may be used to identify time-limits by which to complete the test procedures of each lifecycle stage. Thus, the generated dynamic testing pipelines may be generated based on the likelihood of failures and test procedure duration.

  • Queries based on ranges of hash values
    Patent number: 11106672
    Abstract: A system includes a database client, and a distributed database comprising database nodes. The distributed database may receive a database query from the client, determine that the query comprises a range of hash values of a table partition stored by a node of the distributed database, and determine that the range of hash values is not stored by other nodes of the distributed database. Responsive to determining that the range of hash values of the query is stored by the node and not by the other nodes, the database may generate an optimized distributed execution plan that includes the node that stores the range of hash values and excludes the nodes that do not include the range of hash values.
