  • Patent number: 11052772
    Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems that manipulate operations of specified target systems, such as by modifying or otherwise manipulating inputs or other control elements of the target system that affect its operation (e.g., affect output of the target system). An automated control system may in some situations have a distributed architecture with multiple decision modules that each controls a portion of a target system, and may further have one or more components that interacts with one or more users to obtain a description of the target system, including restrictions related to the various elements of the target system, and one or more goals to be achieved during control of the target system. The component(s) then perform various automated actions to generate, test and deploy one or more executable decision modules to use in performing the control of the target system based on the user-specified information.

  • Patent number: 11055629
    Abstract: An online system determines a stability metric that indicates overlap between the set of entities associated with a particular entity when embeddings have been adjusted due to modifications in the input data of an embedding model. The online system generates a stability score for the embedding model by computing a statistic for one or more stability metrics. The online system determines a stability metric for a particular content provider by identifying a first cluster of content providers in a set of first embeddings, and a second cluster of content providers in a set of second embeddings. The second embeddings are generated after modifications have been made to input data. The online system determines the stability metric based on an overlap between the first cluster and the second cluster of content providers. The stability score can be an indicator of model performance that can be used to select embedding models.

  • Patent number: 11042808
    Abstract: Predicting probable activity consequences is provided. Information is collected from data sources to identify various activities. Patterns of how any identified activity is linked with a corresponding event are detected based on analyzing the information. The patterns are indexed with data having a relationship to a particular event. Activity context information associated with a set of identified activities corresponding to the particular event is extracted from the information. A cognitive model of how the set of identified activities corresponding to the particular event are related to a set of activity consequences is generated. Probable activity consequences with degree of severity corresponding to the activity context information is predicted based on the cognitive model. A recommendation to perform a set of action steps to reduce impact of the probable activity consequences on different aspects of the activity context information associated with the set of identified activities is generated.

  • Patent number: 11012330
    Abstract: An intrusion detection method for detecting an intrusion in data traffic on a data communication network parses the data traffic to extract at least one protocol field of a protocol message of the data traffic, and associates the extracted protocol field with a model for that protocol field. The model is selected from a set of models. An assessment is made to determine if a contents of the extracted protocol field is in a safe region as defined by the model, and an intrusion detection signal is generated in case it is established that the contents of the extracted protocol field is outside the safe region. The set of models may comprise a corresponding model for each protocol field of a set of protocol fields.

    Abstract: An unsupervised model evaluation computer-implemented method, medium, and system are disclosed. In one computer-implemented method, S node vectors corresponding to S nodes from N node vectors obtained by using an unsupervised model are determined, where both N and S are positive integers. A neighboring node and a non-neighboring node of each of the S nodes is determined. Based on a node vector of a first S node and the neighboring node, a similarity between the first S node and the neighboring node as a positive sample predicted value is determined. Based on the node vector of the first S node and the non-neighboring node, a similarity between the first S node and the non-neighboring node as a negative sample predicted value is determined. The unsupervised model is evaluated based on the positive sample predicted value and the negative sample predicted value.
