  • Patent number: 11086711
    Abstract: A cognitive automation engine receives notice that an unexpected event has occurred in a computing environment. The engine tries to address any resulting problems by running a previously generated automation script, customizing the script as required through cognitive means. If this fails, the engine forwards the script to a human expert for customization. In either case, the engine records any customization activities, extracts parameters from the recording that identify each customization step, cognitively assigns a level of risk to each step based on historical precedent, and determines whether running the customized script presents an unacceptable risk of adverse results. The system adds the revisions, other script-related information, and any results of running the revised script Loin a training corpus. The corpus is then incorporated into a machine-learning procedure that teaches the automation engine how to more intelligently customize a script the next time a similar event occurs.

    Abstract: Techniques regarding identifying one or more systems where a policy as a code can be applicable are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a matching component, operatively coupled to the processor, that can determine whether a policy as a code is enforceable on a computing entity based on a comparison of a plurality of commands executed on the computing entity and a plurality of actions extracted from the code.

  • Publication number: 20210133622
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for processing events. The method provides a database comprising original event objects stored in association with canonical event objects. The method executes a learning algorithm on the associated original and canonical event objects for generating a trained ML program adapted to transform an original event object of any one of the one or more original data formats into a canonical event object having the canonical data format and uses the trained machine learning program for automatically transforming original event objects generated by an active IT-monitoring system into canonical event objects processable by an event handling system.

  • Patent number: 10970068
    Abstract: A technique relates to computer artifacts in a computer system. The technique includes creating a list of insights from artifacts, determining a similarity level between the insights of the artifacts and a predefined area of capability, comparing similarity level of insights for each of the artifacts to a threshold metric, removing artifacts having the similarity level below threshold metric such that artifacts remaining meet the threshold metric, and performing a pair-wise similarity comparison on the artifacts remaining which compares insights of the artifacts to each other to determine which ones are least common. The technique includes creating feature vectors for artifacts that are least common, determining a feature vector having a most variation in feature vectors, an artifact associated with the feature vector being determined to comprise a unique insight, and generating a unique message using the artifact associated with the feature vector being the unique insight.

  • Publication number: 20210084059
    Abstract: A computer system, non-transitory computer storage medium, and a computer-implemented method of assessing technical risk using visual pattern recognition in an Information Technology (IT) Service Management System. A data visualization engine and a time series generation engine receive the operational data, respectively. A first representation of the data is generated by the data visualization engine, and a second representation of the data is generated by the time series generation engine. Anomaly patterns are identified by a pattern recognition engine configured to perform feature extraction and data transformation. An ensembler is configured to accept the outputs from two AI anomaly engines and make a final decision of whether anomaly patterns are captured. Risk scores based on the identified anomaly patterns are output by a pattern recognition engine to an automated management system. The anomalies includes information regarding vulnerabilities of devices or components of the IT Service Management System.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to computer-implemented methods of operating a monitoring host of a performance management infrastructure. The method includes receiving, using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, training data that includes operational data and functionality data. The operational data represents natural language descriptions of performance problems identified for an application computer program running a computing system. The functionality data represents natural language descriptions of functional capabilities of the application computer program. The NLP algorithms and a classifier are used to extract features of the training data. The extracted features are used to build a semantic correlation model that includes correlated data sets, wherein each of the correlated data sets includes functionality data and operational data having a semantic correlation to functionality data.

  • Publication number: 20200402070
    Abstract: A system and associated method may utilize a processor that receives recall product instance group (RPIG) information (RPIGI) identifying a set of instances of products having a product type identifier (PTI) that are a subject of a product recall. The processor receives, from an imaging device associated with a user, an image containing a product instance. The method further comprises applying a classifier and determining a PTI. Based on the image, secondary product information is also identified. These may be compared with the RPIGI to determine a product instance membership. Information related to the product instance membership in the RPIG may be displayed.
