  • Patent number: 10902332
    Abstract: A client device determines a local user gradient value based on a current user preference vector and a local item gradient value based on a current item feature vector. The client device updates a user preference vector by using the local user gradient value and updates an item feature vector by using the local item gradient value. The client device determines a neighboring client device based on a predetermined adjacency relationship. The local item gradient value is sent by the client device to the neighboring client device. The client device receives a neighboring item gradient value sent by the neighboring client device. The client device updates the item feature vector by using the neighboring item gradient value. In response to the client device determining that a predetermined iteration stop condition is satisfied, the client device outputs the user preference vector and the item feature vector.

  • Patent number: 10833954
    Abstract: A network analysis tool receives network flow information and uses deep learning—machine learning that models high-level abstractions in the network flow information—to identify dependencies between network assets. Based on the identified dependencies, the network analysis tool can discover functional relationships between network assets. For example, a network analysis tool receives network flow information, identifies dependencies between multiple network assets based on evaluation of the network flow information, and outputs results of the identification of the dependencies. When evaluating the network flow information, the network analysis tool can pre-process the network flow information to produce input vectors, use deep learning to extract patterns in the input vectors, and then determine dependencies based on the extracted patterns. The network analysis tool can repeat this process so as to update an assessment of the dependencies between network assets on a near real-time basis.
