Abstract: A system and method for preventing erroneous data entry is disclosed. When presented with a form, such as in a website or an app, users are often requested to submit private information that should not be made public. However, form fields are often not protected, and users commonly erroneously enter private information into forms requesting non-private information. Therefore, an alternative entry display is provided to the user to allow the user to separately and securely submit form field entries. This display analyzes the information provided to the user to determine the type of data being requested by a selected form field. This information is used not only to prompt the user in the alternative entry display, but also to verify that the information provided by the user matches the type being requested for security purposes.

Abstract: Business and personal meetings are increasingly conducted virtually via video and/or audio conferencing. During such conferencing, participants can unwittingly leak private and/or confidential information with significant consequences for them and/or their employers. To prevent the disclosure of confidential content, one or more multimodal ML models are utilized by a conferencing service to detect and modify confidential content before, during, and/or after a live conferencing session. Content considered private or confidential to one individual or organization may be different than to another, so the models may be trained to recognize individual or organization-specific content. Furthermore, based on different user confidentiality levels, ML models may modify confidential content differently for different participants to a conferencing session.

Abstract: Auditing data containing sensitive data are stored in a data structure comprising data objects. Each data object comprises one or more pairs of a name and a value. Pairs that are flagged or identified as containing sensitive data are partially encrypted; the value is encrypted using an asymmetric key and the name corresponding to the encrypted value remains unencrypted. Some pairs that are not flagged or identified as containing sensitive data are left unencrypted. Unencrypted data may be stored in the partially encrypted auditing data as plain text. The auditing data may be analyzed to generate business metrics and identify application errors. The auditing data may also be queried, and data objects containing unencrypted pairs and/or partially encrypted pairs may be returned based on matching unencrypted names and/or values to the data query.

Abstract: A method for computer memory access includes, during execution of a machine learning model, receiving an input vector for multiplication with a matrix of network weight values. Each network weight value of the matrix of network weight values is stored in computer memory using a stored quantity(S) of bits. For a network weight value of the matrix of network weight values, a representation quantity (R) of bits is determined to be used for representing the network weight value during multiplication with a corresponding vector value of the input vector, based at least in part on a magnitude of the corresponding vector value. The R bits of the network weight value are retrieved from the computer memory for multiplication with the corresponding vector value.
