  • Patent number: 10333982
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to methods and systems for operating authorization rules. An authorization rule has conditions that may be satisfied by an authorization request. A rule is rotated between the first mode and the second mode over a time interval wherein a first set of authorization requests are received. A first subset of the first set of authorization requests may not be rejected. After the first time interval, the authorization requests that were not rejected may be validated through an independent process. An accuracy rate for the rule is determined based on the portion of authorization requests that are valid and satisfied the conditions of the rule.

  • Patent number: 10320846
    Abstract: A resource security system may generate access rules for use in determining whether to grant or deny a request for access to a resource. In order to generate the access rules, the resource security system may select certain access request parameters and determine conditions associated with those parameters. The resource security system may generate mutually exclusive segments associated with a condition of each of the parameters. The resource security system may generate independent access rules based on the segments. The resource security system may then evaluate the performance of each of the access rules based on validity information corresponding to previously received access requests that satisfy the conditions of a particular access rule.

  • Publication number: 20190160287
    Abstract: A method for neuromodulation includes monitoring brain activity of a patient using one or more electrodes attached to the patient, and using a first machine learning model to predict whether a patient will have a seizure based on the monitored brain activity of the patient. The method also includes, responsive to the first machine learning model predicting that the patient will have a seizure, using a second machine learning model to determine a neuromodulation signal pattern for preventing the predicted seizure. The method further includes using a neurostimulator to apply the determined neuromodulation signal pattern to the patient. The method also includes, after applying the determined neuromodulation signal pattern to the patient, detecting whether the patient had the predicted seizure based on the monitored brain activity of the patient. The method further includes adjusting at least the second machine learning model based on whether the patient had the predicted seizure.

  • Publication number: 20190089726
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a resource security system may determine an access request outcome (e.g., accept, reject, or review) for an access request based on access rules. The resource security system may generate and select the access rules to be used for using stability information. For instance, the resource security system may select a training set from the received access requests, e.g., including recently received access requests, and generate a plurality of potential access rules based on the training set. The resource security system may determine and compare the detection performance and the stability performance of the potential access rules. The resource security system may select the best performing potential access rules to be used in operation for determining the outcome of access requests.

  • Publication number: 20180204215
    Abstract: A data structure provides reliable data allowing a security application to detect potential instances of fraudulent use of a payment account. The data structure can be generated using data elements associated with transactions from new authentication requests in a transaction. Once the data structure is generated, clusters within the data structure can be associated with legitimate authentication requests or potentially fraudulent authentication requests. A baseline cluster can be identified from the data structure and used to determine whether the new incoming authentication requests are legitimate or potentially fraudulent.

  • Publication number: 20180107451
    Abstract: Automatic scaling is performed on a floating point implementation of a DNN to perform scaling to a fixed point implementation. The DNN includes multiple layers in an order from a starting to an ending layer. The automatic scaling includes determining a scaling factor for each of multiple ones of the layers during training of the DNN. The scaling factor converts floating point numbers used for calculations in a layer into integer numbers to be used in the calculations. A scaling factor is determined for a selected layer, which is at a position in the order, based on scaling factors used in layers in the order prior to the position of the selected layer. The automatic scaling includes outputting the scaling factors for the multiple layers to be used for implementing the fixed point implementation of the DNN that uses integer calculations instead of floating point calculations.

  • Patent number: 9915159
    Abstract: A nozzle assembly is provided which is, in part, formed of a low coefficient of thermal expansion material. The assembly includes a nozzle fairing formed of the low coefficient of thermal expansion material and includes a metallic strut extending radially through the nozzle fairing. Load is transferred from the nozzle fairing to a static structure in either of two ways: first, the strut may receive the load directly and/or second, load may be transferred from the nozzle fairing to at least one of the inner and outer support rings. Further, the nozzle fairing and strut may allow for internal airflow for cooling.
