Patent number: 11797705Abstract: A generative adversarial network (GAN) may be implemented to recognize named entity types in detection of sensitive information in datasets. The GAN may include a generator and a discriminator. The generator may be trained to produce synthetic data to include information that simulates named entity types representing the sensitive information. The discriminator may be fed with real data that are known to include the sensitive information (as positive examples), together with the synthetic data that simulate the sensitive information (as negative examples), to train to classify the real vs. synthetic data. In field operations, the discriminator may be deployed to perform named entity type recognition to identify data having the sensitive information. The generator may be deployed to provide anonymous data in lieu of real data to facilitate sensitive information sharing and disclosure.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Voinea, Aurelian Tutuianu, Silviu Catalin Poede, Marian-Razvan Udrea, Brent Gregory

Publication number: 20230153462Abstract: A candidate attribute combination of a first data set is identified, such that the candidate attribute combination meets a data type similarity criterion with respect to a collection of data types of sensitive information for which the first data set is to be analyzed. A collection of input features is generated for a machine learning model from the candidate attribute combination, including at least one feature indicative of a statistical relationship between the values of the candidate attribute combination and a second data set. An indication of a predicted probability of a presence of sensitive information in the first data set is obtained using the machine learning model.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Aurelian Tutuianu, Daniel Voinea, Petru-Serban Cehan, Silviu Catalin Poede, Adrian Cadar, Marian-Razvan Udrea, Brent Gregory

Patent number: 8146047Abstract: An automated design process using a computer system includes identifying a set of timing endpoints in a circuit defined by a machine-readable file. Values of slack in the estimated arrival times for the timing endpoints are assigned. Probability distribution functions, such as Gaussian distributions, are assigned for the respective values of slack, and are combined. The combination of probability distribution functions represents a measure of circuit performance. The measure is computed for alternative implementations of the circuit, and used to identify an alternative more likely to meet timing constraints.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Brent Gregory, William C.

Patent number: 5980209Abstract: A first-stage turbine blade includes an airfoil having a profile according to Table I. The airfoil has a plurality of cooling air passages extending linearly from the root portion to the tip portion of the airfoil. The blade includes a shank having a pair of cavities in communication through the blade dovetail with a plenum in the wheel space for supplying cooling air to the passages in the airfoil. The cooling passages in the airfoil terminate in a recess at the tip portion which has an opening adjacent the trailing edge of the airfoil and along the suction side to enable egress of cooling air into the hot gas stream on the low pressure side of the airfoil. The majority of the cooling passages are turbulated. Certain of those passages are arranged in rows lying adjacent to the pressure and suction sides of the airfoil.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1997Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: General Electric Co.Inventors: Vincent Anthony Barry, Brent A.
