  • Patent number: 11636202
    Abstract: An artifact is received from which features are extracted and used to populate a vector. The features in the vector are then reduced using a feature reduction operation to result in a modified vector having a plurality of buckets. Features within the buckets of the modified vector above a pre-determined projected bucket clipping threshold are then identified. Using the identified features, and overflow vector is then generated. The modified vector is then input into a classification model to generate a score. This score is adjusted based on the overflow vector and can then be provided to a consuming application or process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 11604871
    Abstract: An artifact is received from which features are extracted so as to populate a vector. The features in the vector can be reduced using a feature reduction operations to result in a modified vector having a plurality of buckets. A presence of predetermined types of features are identified within buckets of the modified vector influencing a score above a pre-determined threshold. A contribution of the identified features within the high influence buckets of the modified vector is then attenuated. The modified vector is input into a classification model to generate a score which can be provided to a consuming application or process. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20220405572
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used for securing in-tunnel messages. One example of a method includes obtaining a parsed file that comprises two or more sub-feature trees, and each of the two or more sub-feature trees comprise at least one feature layer that comprises features. The method further includes generating a feature vector that identifies the features in the at least one feature layer for each of the two or more sub-feature trees. The method yet further includes mapping the features in the at least one feature layer for each of the one or more sub-feature trees to a corresponding position in the feature vector. By converting features in the parsed file into a feature vector, the method provides an applicable format of the feature vector in wide applications for the parsed file.

  • Patent number: 11501120
    Abstract: An artifact is received and features are extracted therefrom to form a feature vector. Thereafter, a determination is made to alter a malware processing workflow based on a distance of one or more features in the feature vector relative to one or more indicator centroids. Each indicator centroid specifying a threshold distance to trigger an action. Based on such a determination, the malware processing workflow is altered.

  • Patent number: 9943237
    Abstract: One method for measuring variability between direct heartbeat data and indirect heartbeat data includes: receiving first heartbeat data from an electrocardiogram over a period of time; receiving second heartbeat data from an indirect measure of heartbeat data over at least a portion of the period of time; calculating, by a computing device, a difference between the first heartbeat data and the second heartbeat data; and comparing the difference to determine a variation.
