Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a computer-implemented method for detecting anomalies in non-stationary data in a network of computing entities. The method collects non-stationary data in the network and classifies the non-stationary data according to a non-Markovian, stateful classification, based on an inference model. Anomalies can then be detected, based on the classified data. The non-Markovian, stateful process allows anomaly detection even when no a priori knowledge of anomaly signatures or malicious entities exists. Anomalies can be detected in real time (e.g., at speeds of 10-100 Gbps) and the network data variability can be addressed by implementing a detection pipeline to adapt to changes in traffic behavior through online learning and retain memory of past behaviors. A two-stage scheme can be relied upon, which involves a supervised model coupled with an unsupervised model.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed for generating class level rules that globally explain the behavior of a machine learning model, such as a model that has been used to solve a classification problem. Each class level rule represents a logical conditional statement that, when the statement holds true for one or more instances of a particular class, predicts that the respective instances are members of the particular class. Collectively, these rules represent the pattern followed by the machine learning model. The techniques are model agnostic, and explain model behavior in a relatively easy to understand manner by outputting a set of logical rules that can be readily parsed. Although the techniques can be applied to any number of applications, in some embodiments, the techniques are suitable for interpreting models that perform the task of classification. Other machine learning model applications can equally benefit.
