  • Patent number: 12149551
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for log anomaly detection. A computer receives a windowed log of incoming raw log messages. A computer compares statistical distribution metrics of entities in the windowed log with a statistical distribution extracted from a real-time statistical model for the entities. In response to the statistical distribution metrics being statistically different from the statistical distribution extracted from the real-time statistical model for the entities, a computer tags the windowed log as an entity anomaly. A computer computes a distance between an average word embedding vector in the windowed log and a statistical distribution extracted form a real-time statistical model for word embeddings. In response to the distance being greater than a predetermined threshold, a computer tags the windowed log as a word embedding anomaly. A computer sends to a user an alert with an anomaly severity level.

  • Patent number: 11620581
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement an ensemble of unsupervised machine learning (ML) models. The ensemble of unsupervised ML models processes a portion of input data to generate an ensemble output and the ensemble output is output to an authorized user computing device to obtain user feedback from the authorized user via the user computing device. The user feedback indicates a correctness of the ensemble output. The mechanisms modify at least one feature of the ensemble of unsupervised ML models based on the obtained user feedback to thereby generate a modified ensemble of unsupervised ML models. Subsequent portions of input data are then processed using the modified ensemble of unsupervised ML models.

  • Patent number: 11374953
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a hybrid machine learning (ML) anomaly detector comprising an ensemble of unsupervised ML models and a semi-supervised ML model. The ensemble of unsupervised ML models are executed on log data to generate, for each entry in the log data, a predicted anomaly score and corresponding anomaly classification label of the entry. A partially labeled dataset is generated based on a selected subset of entries and other unlabeled log data in the log data. A similarity analysis of the unlabeled log data with entries in the selected subset of entries is performed and anomaly classification labels of the selected subset of entries are propagated to the other unlabeled log data based on the similarity analysis.
