Patent number: 11042410Abstract: An apparatus (5) manages resources of a resource-controlled system (1), e.g. data processing resources in a data processing system. The resource-controlled system (1) has resource-elasticity, namely it may operate in several states involving different amounts of system resources. The resource management apparatus (5) may select a modification action having at least one resource variation parameter. The resource variation parameter represents a resource quantity to be added or removed in the resource-controlled system (1). The apparatus (5) may update a value function of an adaptive learning agent (7) as a function of performance metrics (4) measured after the resources of the resource-controlled system have been modified by effecting the modification action. Responsive to a safety criterion not being fulfilled, a finer resource variation parameter may be substituted.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Yue Jin, Dimitre Kostadinov, Makram Bouzid, Armen Aghasaryan

Patent number: 9430671Abstract: According to an implementation of the present subject matter, apparatus and methods for privacy protected clustering of user interest profiles are described. The method includes generating at least one interest profile segment based on an interest profile of an end user (404). Further, semantic terms corresponding to the at least one interest profile segment are obtained based on interaction with a semantic metadata database coupled to a user device of the end user (406), wherein the semantic terms are obtained from amongst one or more semantic terms provided in the semantic metadata database. Each of the at least one interest profile segment are subsequently transformed into at least one semantic representation (408). Further, a cluster identifier is assigned to the at least one interest profile segment based on the at least one semantic representation, wherein the cluster identifiers are generated using locality sensitive hashing (LSH) technique (410).Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Armen Aghasaryan, Makram Bouzid, Mohit Kothari, Animesh Nandi

Publication number: 20140026184Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for configuring rules for distributing personal data of a social network user (U) with respect to a target contact (CC). The method consists of retrieving behavioral data of the target contact. Based on this retrieved behavioral data and a sensitivities profile defined by the user, an assessment grade is assigned to the target contact with respect to the danger that he or she represents of propagating the user's personal data. Based on the grade assigned to the target contact, a recommendation to configure the rules for distributing his or her personal data is issued to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2012Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: ALCATEL LUCENTInventors: David Pergament, Armen Aghasaryan, Jean Gabriel Ganascia
