Abstract: A method and system for anomaly detection using event sequence prediction include a conversation module applying a system topology to historical log data to generate first structured event sequences as training data. An event sequence generation engine then builds a machine learning model using the training data. The conversation module then applies a system topology to runtime log data to generate a second plurality of structured event sequences. The generation engine then runs the second structured event sequences through the machine learning model. The generation engine then calculates a probability for each of the second structured event sequences using the machine learning model. The generation engine then identifies probabilities for each of the second structured event sequences that are lower than a probability threshold of classified event sequences of the first structured event sequences are identified as an anomaly.

Abstract: A device for online gaming includes an actuation component and a controller communicatively coupled to a computer system. The controller is configured to perform operations including detecting an actuation of the actuation component, wherein the actuation component is associated with performing of an action in a video game executed by the computer system. Responsive to detecting the actuation, an instruction is provided to the computer system to perform the action, wherein, based on a current value of a timer, the computer system restricts the action from being performed. The timer, having been previously initiated based on a prior actuation of the actuation component, relates to a cooldown period during which the action cannot be repeated after the action is performed. Responsive to receiving a command from the computer system, a tactile effect is generated as an indication to a user that the action can be repeated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a multi-attribute cluster-identifier that supports identifying malicious activity in computing environments. An instance of an activity having an attribute set can be assessed. The attribute set of the instance of the activity is analyzed to determine whether the instance of the activity is a malicious activity. The attribute set of the instance of the activity is compared to a plurality of multi-attribute cluster-identifiers of previous instances of the activity, such that, a determination that the instance of the activity is a malicious activity is made when the attribute set of the instance of the activity corresponds to an identified multi-attribute cluster-identifier. The identified multi-attribute cluster-identifier has a risk score and an attribute set that indicate a likelihood that the instance of the activity is a malicious activity. A visualization that identifies the instance of the activity as a malicious activity is generated.
