  • Publication number: 20220101118
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose bank-balanced-sparse activation neural network models and methods to generate the bank-balanced-sparse activation neural network models. According to one embodiment, a neural network sparsification engine determines a first deep neural network (DNN) model having two or more hidden layers. The engine determines a bank size, a bank layout, and a target sparsity. The engine segments the activation feature maps into a plurality of banks based on the bank size and the bank layout. The engine generates a second DNN model by increasing a sparsity for each bank of activation feature map based on the target sparsity, wherein the second DNN model is used for inferencing.

  • Publication number: 20200366690
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting anomalous behavior in a network include identifying topological state information in a dynamic network using a first neural network. Attribute state information in the dynamic network is identified, based on a partial labeling of nodes in the dynamic network, using a second neural network. The topological state information and the attribute state information are concatenated. Labels for unlabeled nodes in the dynamic network are predicted using a multi-factor attention, based on the concatenated state information. A security action is performed responsive to a determination that at least one node in the dynamic network is anomalous.
