  • Publication number: 20240089213
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to priority flow control (PFC) storm detection and processing methods. In one example method, a first network node performs PFC detection on a first port queue of a first port, and determines that a first preset condition is met. The first preset condition includes: detection is performed in N consecutive first time segments, when the detection is performed in each first time segment, a quantity of first PFC frames sent by the first port queue to a second network node is greater than a first threshold, and a quantity of one or more data packets received by the first port queue from the second network node is less than a second threshold. The first PFC frame is used to indicate the second network node to suspend sending all data flows in the first port queue, and N is a positive integer.

  • Patent number: 11907658
    Abstract: Systems and methods for user-agent anomaly detection are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user-agent string may be embedded into a numerical data vector representation using a sentence embedding algorithm (e.g., FastText). A predictive score may be calculated based on the numerical data vector representation and using a probability distribution function model that models a likelihood of occurrence of the observed user-agent based on patterns learned from historic payload data (e.g., a Gaussian Mixture Model). The predictive score may be compared to a threshold and, based on the comparison, it may be determined whether the user-agent is fraudulent.

  • Patent number: 11907954
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed in which a computer system generates a transaction network graph from an initial set of transactions including known labels and attributes. The computer system may generate first and second matrices using first and second graph embedding routines from a training set of transactions that includes a first subset of transactions in the network graph. The first routine is based on anomalies in related transactions occurring at nodes in the transaction network graph that are multiple hops away while the second routine is based on anomalies in neighborhoods of similar transactions. In some embodiments, the computer system generates a final embedded matrix from the first and second matrices and uses the final matrix and a testing set of transactions that includes a second subset of transactions in the graph to train a machine learning model, where the trained model usable to determine whether unlabeled transactions are anomalous.

  • Patent number: 11741139
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for providing a response to a user query. Reception of a user query is detected. An augmentation machine learning model is utilized to determine one or more variations of the user query that correspond to a semantic meaning of the user query. A plurality of response candidates is determined that correspond to the user query by comparing the user query and the one or more variations of the user query to a plurality of documents. A final response candidate is determined from the plurality of response candidates based on utilizing a semantic machine learning model to perform a semantic comparison between the plurality of response candidates and at least the user query.

  • Publication number: 20230259943
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining whether to authorize a requested action based on whether an entity is an automated computer. In some embodiments, a computer system tracks, at a user interface of a computing device, a sequence of pointer movements. The computer system maps, based on coordinate locations of pointer movements in the sequence, respective movements in the sequence to a plurality of functional areas. Based on the mapping, the computer system generates a movement graph and determines, based on the movement graph, whether an entity associated with the sequence of pointer movements is an automated computer. In response to receiving a request to authorize an action at the computing device, the computer system generates, based on the determining, an authorization decision for the action and transmits the authorization decision to the computing device. Determining whether the entity is an automated computer may advantageously prevent fraudulent activity.

  • Publication number: 20230260302
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for extracting categorizable information from an image using a graph that models data within the image. Upon receiving an image, a data extraction system identifies characters in the image. The data extraction system then generates bounding boxes that enclose adjacent characters that are related to each other in the image. The data extraction system also creates connections between the bounding boxes based on locations of the bounding boxes. A graph is generated based on the bounding boxes and the connections such that the graph can accurately represent the data in the image. The graph is provided to a graph neural network that is configured to analyze the graph and produce an output. The data extraction system may categorize the data in the image based on the output.
