  • Publication number: 20240086770
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of detecting anomalies in sensor measurements of a physical quantity. Measurement data is obtained including multiple sensor measurements of the physical quantity. Respective weights are determined for respective sensor measurements by maximizing a discrepancy between the measurement data and a mixture distribution obtained by reweighting the sensor measurements according to the weights. The respective weights are output as indicators of outlier likelihoods for the respective sensor measurements.

  • Publication number: 20240045971
    Abstract: In some examples, scalable source code vulnerability remediation may include receiving source code that includes at least one vulnerability, and receiving remediated code that remediates the at least one vulnerability associated with the source code. At least one machine learning model may be trained to analyze a vulnerable code snippet of the source code. The vulnerable code snippet may correspond to the at least one vulnerability associated with the source code. The machine learning model may be trained to generate, for the vulnerable code snippet, a remediated code snippet to remediate the at least one vulnerability associated with the source code. The remediated code snippet may be validated based on an analysis of whether the remediated code snippet remediates the at least one vulnerability associated with the source code.

  • Publication number: 20240012623
    Abstract: A code remediation system accesses a programming code including vulnerabilities such as potential secrets and remediates at least a subset of the potential secrets to generate modified programming code wherein the subset of potential secrets which are determined to be actual secrets are replaced with access mechanisms to storage locations on a vault wherein the actual secrets are secured. To identify the subset of potential secrets forming the actual secrets to be remediated, the code remediation system is configured to filter out false positives among the potential secrets and identify true positives. When an application executing the modified code encounters an access mechanism, it accesses the vault to retrieve the actual secrets.

  • Patent number: 11678471
    Abstract: An electromagnetic magnetic shielding material is used deflect electronic and electromagnetic radiation away from an electronic device. In this manner, the electromagnetic shielding material deflects the electronic and electromagnetic radiation from a user of the device to protect the user from any electronic and electromagnetic radiation produced by the electronic device. Additionally, because the electronic and electromagnetic radiation is deflected away from the user, rather than absorbed, a user is able to safely use the electronic device with less or no exposure to electronic and electromagnetic radiation.

  • Patent number: 11657466
    Abstract: A device may receive content data identifying content created by users and metadata associated with the content. The device may receive rules data identifying rules associated with utilization of the content. The device may utilize the metadata to generate digital DNA signatures for the content in near-real time. The device may store, in a repository, the rules data, the content, the digital DNA signatures, and relationships between the digital DNA signatures. The device may receive, from a client device, new content that is generated based on particular content of the content data and new metadata associated with the new content. The device may utilize the new metadata to generate a new digital DNA signature for the new content. The device may process the new digital DNA signature, the rules data, and the digital DNA signatures to determine whether the new content violates one or more rules of the rules data.

  • Publication number: 20230025754
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support secure training of machine learning (ML) models that preserves privacy in untrusted environments using distributed executable file packages. The executable file packages may include files, libraries, scripts, and the like that enable a cloud service provider configured to provide ML model training based on non-encrypted data to also support homomorphic encryption of data and ML model training with one or more clients, particularly for a diagnosis prediction model trained using medical data. Because the training is based on encrypted client data, private client data such as patient medical data may be used to train the diagnosis prediction model without exposing the client data to the cloud service provider or others. Using homomorphic encryption enables training of the diagnosis prediction model using encrypted data without requiring decryption prior to training.

  • Publication number: 20220414661
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support cooperative training of machine learning (ML) models that preserves privacy in untrusted environments using distributed executable file packages. The executable file packages may include files, libraries, scripts, and the like that enable a cloud service provider configured to provide server-side ML model training to also support cooperative ML model training with multiple clients, particularly for a fraud prediction model for financial transactions. Because the cooperative training includes the clients training respective ML models and the server aggregating the trained ML models, private client data such as financial transaction data may be used to train the fraud prediction model without exposing the client data to others. Such cooperative ML model training enables offloading of computing resource-intensive training from client devices to the server and may train a more robust fraud detection model.
