Abstract: A computer implemented method detects intrusions using a computer by analyzing network traffic. The method includes a semi-supervised learning module connected to a network node. The learning module uses labeled and unlabeled data to train a semi-supervised machine learning sensor. The method records events that include a feature set made up of unauthorized intrusions and benign computer requests. The method identifies at least some of the benign computer requests that occur during the recording of the events while treating the remainder of the data as unlabeled. The method trains the semi-supervised learning module at the network node in-situ, such that the semi-supervised learning modules may identify malicious traffic without relying on specific rules, signatures, or anomaly detection.

Abstract: An adaptive system processes social media streams in real time. The adaptive system included a data management engine that generates combined data sets by detecting and mining a plurality of text-based messages from a social networking service on the Internet. An analytics engine in communication with the data management engine monitors topics in the text-based messages and tracks topic evolution contained in the text-based messages. A visualization engine in communication with the analytics engine renders historical and current activity associated with the plurality of text-based messages.
