  • Patent number: 11797888
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor, bias data categories. A data input from a user for classification in data categories is received. A classification machine learning model is utilized to classify the data input in at least one data category and determine a first confidence probability in a classification outcome. A bias filter machine learning model is utilized to determine a second confidence probability that the classification outcome of classifying the data input into the at least one data category is based on at least one bias characteristic associated with at least one bias data category. A gate machine learning model is utilized to determine when to output the classification outcome of classifying the data input into the at least one data category to a computing device of a user based at least in part on the first confidence probability, the second confidence probability, and a predefined bias threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230336641
    Abstract: A system encodes/compresses at least some portion of website data and transmits the encoded website data to a remote user. A storage device stores original website data representing an original webpage. Retrieval logic retrieves the original website data from the storage device. The retrieval may be responsive to a request from an electronic user device. A parser parses the original website data to detect and tag at least one type of website code within the website data. An encoder encodes the tagged website data and produces encoded website data representing the original website data. A transmitter transmits the encoded website data to the electronic user device. The electronic user device has previously been provided a decoder from the system to decode the encoded website data to recover the original website data. This allows the electronic user device to display the website on the electronic user device.

  • Patent number: 11790229
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for synthetic data generation. A recurrent neural network can be trained for synthetic data generation by obtaining a sequence of elements and determining, using a classifier, that the sequence corresponds to a token. In response to the determination, a recurrent neural network configured to use a first vocabulary including the elements can be modified to use a second vocabulary, the second vocabulary including the token and the first vocabulary. The modified recurrent neural network can be trained using the token and the sequence of elements. The trained recurrent neural network can be used to generate synthetic data. A classifier can detect sequences of elements in the synthetic data corresponding to tokens. The tokens can replace the sequences of elements in the generated synthetic data and can be provided to the trained recurrent neural network to continue synthetic data generation.

  • Publication number: 20230298032
    Abstract: A browser extension application is configured to collect data relating to the user's browsing activity and display notifications on a user interface. A user can instruct a web browsing application to navigate to a website. The browser extension application can detect a type of the webpage, and based on the type of the webpage, collect certain information relating to what the webpage is asking the user to provide and what the user is providing to the webpage. The browser extension application can transmit this information to a browser extension server. The browser extension server can determine a likelihood that the website is associated with instances of hacking online accounts. The browser extension server can transmit a signal to the browser extension application of the user's computing device. The browser extension application can take an action, e.g., direct the user to another website or log out of the user's account.

  • Publication number: 20230297446
    Abstract: Methods for generating data models using a generative adversarial network can begin by receiving a data model generation request by a model optimizer from an interface. The model optimizer can provision computing resources with a data model. As a further step, a synthetic dataset for training the data model can be generated using a generative network of a generative adversarial network, the generative network trained to generate output data differing at least a predetermined amount from a reference dataset according to a similarity metric. The computing resources can train the data model using the synthetic dataset. The model optimizer can evaluate performance criteria of the data model and, based on the evaluation of the performance criteria of the data model, store the data model and metadata of the data model in a model storage. The data model can then be used to process production data.

  • Patent number: 11765063
    Abstract: A computing system may comprise a monitoring server system, a target server system, and client devices that may be connected via one or more networks. The monitoring server system may identify client devices to perform a test on the target server system, and may send a payload with instructions for performing the test to the clients. The client devices may determine that the payload is authentic and execute the instructions in the payload, as part of a non-malicious botnet, to perform the test on the target server system. The monitoring server system may receive client-side results from the client devices, and server-side results from the target server system. The monitoring server system may generate a report based on the received results. The report may indicate one or more issues, points of failure and/or recommendations for mitigating the issues and/or points of failure.

    Abstract: In certain embodiments, reference identifiers may be generated and embedded into a website's content. A request for a reference identifier to be embedded into first content on a first website may be obtained based on a user accessing the first website. Based on the request, interaction data related to the first website may be retrieved indicating that a prior user interacted with text on the first website and subsequently accessed a second website. A reference identifier related to the second website may be caused to be embedded into the text on the first website based on: (i) the second website comprising second content related to the text, (ii) the prior user interacting with the text on the first website, and (iii) the prior user accessing the second website after interacting with the first content on the first website.

  • Patent number: 11755708
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improvements to authenticate users, particularly authenticating a user based on data known to the user. For example, methods and systems allow for users to be securely authenticated based on data known to the users over remote communication networks without storing the data known to the users. Specifically, methods and systems authenticate users by requiring users to select images that are known to the users. For example, the methods and systems may generate synthetic images based on the user's own images and require the user to select the synthetic image, from a set of a set of images, that is known to the user to authenticate the user. Moreover, the methods and systems alleviate storage and privacy concerns by not storing the data known to the users.
