  • Publication number: 20220164471
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for linking information about individual entities across multiple datasets. A target dataset with some information corresponding to at least one attribute of an entity is received. Semantic processing is performed on the target dataset to extract semantic representations of the information and corresponding attributes, which is utilized to search at least one other dataset for additional information that is absent from the target dataset, corresponding to at least one attribute of the entity, which are used to augment the target dataset with additional information corresponding to the entity. This is repeated iteratively, with each subsequent iteration including semantic representations of information found in the searches of previous iterations until no additional information about the entity is found when searching the multiple datasets with semantic representations of the now augmented target dataset.

  • Publication number: 20220164532
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for text data protection is provided. The present invention may include receiving a text data. The present invention may also include identifying a portion of the received text data having a highest impact on a first confidence score associated with a target model prediction. The present invention may further include generating at least one semantically equivalent text relative to the identified portion of the received text data. The present invention may also include determining that the generated at least one semantically equivalent text produces a second confidence score associated with the target model prediction that is less than the first confidence score associated with the target model prediction. The present invention may further include generating a prompt to suggest modifying the identified portion of the received text data using the generated at least one semantically equivalent text.

  • Publication number: 20220156177
    Abstract: Embodiments include a method for one or more processors to receive an organic dataset and a domain knowledge base. The one or more processors identify private data entities present within the organic dataset. The one or more processors determine statistical properties of the private data entities identified within the organic dataset. The one or more processors create a plurality of test data templates by removing the private data entities from the organic dataset. The one or more processors select from the domain knowledge base, synthetic data entities that match a data type of the removed private data entities, respectively, and align with the statistical properties of the private data entities, and the one or more processors generate synthetic test data by inserting, respectively, the synthetic data entities of the matching data type for the removed private data entities in the test data templates.

  • Publication number: 20220138287
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for published content protection is provided. The present invention may include receiving a content file from a content management system (CMS). The present invention may include extracting a feature from the received content file. The present invention may include transforming, using an adversarial generation algorithm, the received content file into an adversarial content file. The present invention may include returning the adversarial content file to the CMS. The returned adversarial content file may represent an equivalent of the received content file to a content consumer. The present invention may include preventing an application of the returned adversarial content file in at least one machine learning task based on the adversarial noise included in the returned adversarial content file.

  • Publication number: 20220100867
    Abstract: Various embodiments are provided for automated evaluation of machine learning models in a computing environment by one or more processors in a computing system. A level of robustness of a machine learning model against adversarial whitebox operations may be evaluated and determined by applying a data set used for testing the machine learning model, one or more adversarial operation objectives, an adversarial threat model, and a selected number of hyperparameters. Results from the adversarial operation may be analyzed and a modified machine learning model may be generated while performing the evaluating and determining.

  • Patent number: 11222177
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for intelligent augmentation of word representations in a computing system by a processor. One or more character shape embeddings may be created in an artificial neural network (ANN) by augmenting one or more word representations based on a set of natural language processing (NLP) data, a set of word embedding vectors, and one or more clustering operations. A shape, a category, and a contextual identify of the one or more word representations may be analyzed used in creating the one or more character shape embeddings.
