  • Patent number: 11797826
    Abstract: A system is provided for classifying an instruction sequence with a machine learning model. The system may include at least one processor and at least one memory. The memory may include program code that provides operations when executed by the at least one processor. The operations may include: processing an instruction sequence with a trained machine learning model configured to detect one or more interdependencies amongst a plurality of tokens in the instruction sequence and determine a classification for the instruction sequence based on the one or more interdependencies amongst the plurality of tokens; and providing, as an output, the classification of the instruction sequence. Related methods and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10810470
    Abstract: Centroids are used for improving machine learning classification and information retrieval. A plurality of files are classified as malicious or not malicious based on a function dividing a coordinate space into at least a first portion and a second portion such that the first portion includes a first subset of the plurality of files classified as malicious. One or more first centroids are defined in the first portion that classify files from the first subset as not malicious. A file is determined to be malicious based on whether the file is located within the one or more first centroids.

  • Publication number: 20050241297
    Abstract: A control system and method for optimizing fuel control in an internal combustion engine utilizes a signal from an oxygen sensor disposed in an exhaust downstream of a catalytic converter. An air/fuel mixture introduced into the engine is compensated based on the signal exceeding predetermined enabling thresholds. The predetermined rich or lean condition enable threshold represents an oxygen content so less or greater than desired that the normal closed loop control including regular secondary fuel trim is not sufficient enough to bring the outlet oxygen sensor signal back to the desired window quickly. A reduced or increased amount of fuel is introduced into the engine based on the signal exceeding the predetermined rich or lean enable threshold respectively.
