  • Patent number: 12367085
    Abstract: Described herein are machine learning methods and systems for application programming Interface (API) management. One or more machine learning-based models, such as a neural network, may be trained to provide a prediction(s) that an API request is likely to succeed (e.g., not cause the API to crash) or to fail (e.g., cause the API to crash, freeze, etc.). The one or more machine learning-based models may be trained using historical API requests that were successful and historical API requests that are not successful. Various aspects of the API requests, as well as system properties associated with the machine(s) that executes/processes the historical API requests, may be used as well when training the one or more machine learning-based models.

  • Patent number: 12093837
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to build a federated learning framework including creating a hierarchy of machine learning models (MLMs). The hierarchy of MLMs has a primary MLM in a primary layer. Training the primary MLM includes capturing contributing model updates across at least one communication channel. A secondary MLM is created and logically positioned in a secondary layer of the hierarchy. The secondary MLM is operatively coupled to the primary MLM across the at least one communication channel. The created secondary MLM is initialized, including cloning weights and framework of the primary MLM into the secondary MLM, and populated with secondary data. The populated data has model updates local to the created secondary MLM. The secondary MLM is logically stored local to the secondary layer, and limits access to the secondary MLM to the secondary layer.

  • Patent number: 12061881
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing object-oriented infrastructure-as-code platform (“OOIACP”) and its functionalities. In various embodiments, an OOIACP may receive a request to perform a function from a requesting device. The OOIACP includes a declarative configuration language (“DCL”)-based infrastructure-as-code (“IAC”) software tool that provides structure and data functionalities and a wrapper tool that provides algorithm and sequence functionalities to the IAC software tool to convert the IAC software tool into an object-oriented programming (“OOP”)-based IAC system. The OOIACP uses a run command to perform the requested function, by identifying classes within a class hierarchy associated with the requested function, and initiating a set of procedures in each identified class. Each class and subclass within the class hierarchy has one or more predefined class behaviors, and each subclass inherits class behaviors of classes to which it belongs and of any intermediate subclasses.

  • Patent number: 12061874
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating updates to software programs via machine-learning techniques are disclosed. In an example, an application generates a feature vector from a textual description of a software defect by applying a topic model to the textual description. The application uses the feature vector and one or more machine-learning models configured to predict classifications and sub-classifications of the textual description. The application integrates the classifications and the sub-classifications into a final classification of the textual description that indicates a software component responsible for causing the software defect. The final classification is usable for correcting the software defect.

  • Patent number: 12061918
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and method for providing routing of complex dynamically updated website applications using micro front ends (MFEs). The MFEs can be instantiated in a nested fashion. Each MFE can be agnostic to other levels of the website application structure that are not directly adjacent to the MFE in the hierarchy of the nesting. Navigation events can be bubbled up to a shell application to retain top-level control of routing within the website application without requiring the shell application to have all levels of routing in the hierarchy.

  • Patent number: 11847477
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for natively interpreting logic across disparate platforms. Rather than executing server calls that are computationally expensive, logic may be extracted into code segments that can be evaluated at run time by an interpreter. The interpreter is passed a set of evaluators, features, and contextual data, each of which is expressed in a domain specific language. An evaluator maps an identifier to a rule and describes one or more contextual data fields with which the rule is to be evaluated. A feature corresponds to a logical condition that identifies the evaluator and a return value that is returned if the condition is met. The interpreter identifies the evaluator from the feature being evaluated and evaluates its corresponding rule based on the contextual data provided to return a return value. One or more operations may be performed based on the return value provided.

  • Patent number: 11816203
    Abstract: An anti-malware system monitors the emulation of a suspicious program in a sandbox environment. The anti-malware system determines that the suspicious program is attempting to access a restricted area of memory (e.g., an executable instruction in the restricted area). Rather than stop the emulation, the anti-malware system can temporarily pause the emulation of the suspicious program. During this pause, the anti-malware system can determine whether the suspicious program is containable within the sandbox environment. If the anti-malware system determines that the emulation of the executable instruction is safe (e.g., that the program is containable), the anti-malware system will resume emulation. If the anti-malware system determines that the emulation of the executable instruction is not safe, the anti-malware system may shut down emulation.
