Abstract: A computer-implemented method for domain analysis comprises: obtaining, by a computing device, a domain; and inputting, by the computing device, the obtained domain to a trained detection model to determine if the obtained domain was generated by one or more domain generation algorithms. The detection model comprises a neural network model, a n-gram-based machine learning model, and an ensemble layer. Inputting the obtained domain to the detection model comprises inputting the obtained domain to each of the neural network model and the n-gram-based machine learning model. The neural network model and the n-gram-based machine learning model both output to the ensemble layer. The ensemble layer outputs a probability that the obtained domain was generated by the domain generation algorithms.

Abstract: A computer system emulates user communications within a communication session. Communications between a user and at least one participant are monitored to determine that a message from a user from the at least one participant includes content pertaining to a problematic event. The user is replaced with a communication agent in the communication session and a response is generated to the message utilizing natural language processing to emulate a conversational style of the user. Using the communication agent, the response is sent to the at least one participant in the communication session to address the problematic event. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for emulating user communications within a communication session in substantially the same manner described above.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for preparing multi-feed of log data in an AI-managed communication system. In use, log data of a communication network is obtained and a plurality of artificial intelligence (AI) models are obtained.

A reduced log data feed is formed by eliminating at least one parameter from the log data. Further, a second confidence level for the first AI model is calculated by repeating the analysis of the log data, the computation of the first confidence level, and the formation of the reduced log data feed until at least one: the second confidence level is lower than the first confidence level, or the second confidence level reaches a threshold.

Abstract: A method for updating a non-current data model using a current data model. The update exports a first data set which includes a file with a model object for the current data model, another with option group (“OG”) objects, another with rule objects, and another with junction objects that relate a rule to an OG. The update exports a second data set that includes a file with model-to-OG junction objects, and a file with model-to-rule junction objects. The update transports the first, and second data sets from a first data repository to a second data repository. The update imports, to the non-current data model, the first, and second data sets. The update recreates, in the non-current data model, the model-to-option-group junctions and the model-to-rule junctions.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing security-aware partitioning of processes. An example method includes identifying an integration scenario for optimization in a cloud-based system based on optimization constraints. The identified integration scenario is translated into a directed graph comprising connections between particular flows within the integration scenario.

At least one optimization to the integration scenario is determined based on the annotated directed graph and a set of optimization constraints. An assignment of flows to particular processing units is generated based on the determined at least one optimization.

Abstract: Multiple geo-replicated and independent IoT (Internet of Things) hubs configured as servers with storage capacities are utilized and span across various regions in the world, to each of which IoT devices can connect and transmit telemetry data. The IoT devices, configured with sensors to generate telemetry data (e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), can fail over to another geo-replicated IoT hub (the “target geo-replicated IoT hub”) when one IoT hub experiences technical failures or the IoT device changes location to a region which is covered by the target IoT hub. Upon receiving a connection request from the IoT device, the target geo-replicated IoT hub submits a proposal to available geo-replicated IoT hubs for ownership over the IoT device, that is, receive data from and transmit messages to the IoT device. A quorum is sought so that all IoT hubs are in agreement as to a current owner of the IoT device.
