  • Publication number: 20260087362
    Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer program products for detecting cycles in adversarial attack of a data element including memory configured to include storage locations to store data elements and perturbation data and a processor configured with an adversarial attack module. The processor is configured with program code that, when executed, will cause the processor to iteratively execute generating a perturbed data element by applying a data perturbation with a projected gradient descent algorithm on at least one data element, extracting the data perturbation from the perturbed data element as perturbation data, determining whether the perturbation data is present in the memory, and when the perturbation data is not present in the memory, storing the perturbation data in the memory, and terminating the iterative execution upon confirming that the perturbation data is present in the memory.

  • Patent number: 11977632
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for classifier evaluation. The evaluation involves constructing a ground truth refinement having a degree of error within specified bounds from a malware reference dataset as an approximate ground truth refinement. The evaluation further involves using the approximate ground truth refinement to determine at least one of: a lower bound on precision or an upper bound on recall and accuracy. The evaluation further involves evaluating a classifier by evaluating at least one of a classification method or clustering method by examining changes to the upper bound and/or the lower bound produced by the approximate ground truth refinement.

  • Patent number: 11354600
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating an interpretable kernel embedding for heterogeneous data. The method can include identifying a set of base kernels in the heterogeneous data; and creating multiple sets of transformed kernels by applying a unique composition rule or a unique combination of multiple composition rules to the set of base kernels. The method can include fitting the multiple sets into a stochastic process model to generate fitting scores that respectively indicate a degree of the fitting for each of the multiple sets; storing the fitting scores in a matrix; and standardizing the matrix to generate the interpretable kernel embedding for the heterogeneous data.

  • Patent number: 11348364
    Abstract: Biometrics fingerprint matching has been done with a heavily hand-tuned and designed process of classical computer vision techniques for several decades. This approach has led to accurate solutions for solving crimes today and, as such, little effort has been devoted to using deep learning in this domain. Exemplary embodiments disclosed herein leverage synthetic data generators to train a neural fingerprint enhancer to improve matching accuracy on real fingerprint images.
