  • Publication number: 20240354184
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for incident analysis in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) using a Temporal Graph-based Incident Analysis System (TGIAS) and/or Transition Based Categorical Anomaly Detection (TCAD). Dynamically gathered multimodal data from a distributed network of sensors across the CPS are preprocessed to identify abnormal sensor readings indicative of potential incidents, and a multi-layered incident timeline graph, representing abnormal sensor readings, relationships to specific CPS components, and temporal sequencing of events is constructed. Severity scores are calculated, and severity rankings are assigned to identified anomalies based on a composite index including impact on CPS operation, comparison with historical incident data, and predictive risk assessments.

  • Publication number: 20240303149
    Abstract: Methods and systems for anomaly detection include encoding a time series with a time series encoder and encoding an event sequence with an event sequence encoder. A latent code is generated from outputs of the time series encoder and the event sequence encoder. The time series is reconstructed from the latent code using a time series decoder. The event sequence is reconstructed from the latent code using an event sequence decoder. An anomaly score is determined based on a reconstruction loss of the reconstructed time series and a reconstruction loss of the reconstructed event sequence. An action is performed responsive to the anomaly score.

  • Patent number: 11989983
    Abstract: Methods and systems for vehicle fault detection include collecting operational data from sensors in a vehicle. The sensors are associated with vehicle sub-systems. The operational data is processed with a neural network to generate a fault score, which represents a similarity to fault state training scenarios, and an anomaly score, which represents a dissimilarity to normal state training scenarios. The fault score is determined to be above a fault score threshold and the anomaly score is determined to be above an anomaly score threshold to detect a fault. A corrective action is performed responsive the fault, based on a sub-system associated with the fault.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for allocating network resources responsive to network traffic include modeling spatial correlations between fine spatial granularity traffic and coarse spatial granularity traffic for different sites and regions to determine spatial feature vectors for one or more sites in a network. Temporal correlations at a fine spatial granularity are modeled across multiple temporal scales, based on the spatial feature vectors. Temporal correlations at a coarse spatial granularity are modeled across multiple temporal scales, based on the spatial feature vectors. A traffic flow prediction is determined for the one or more sites in the network, based on the temporal correlations at the fine spatial granularity and the temporal correlations at the coarse spatial granularity. Network resources are provisioned at the one or more sites in accordance with the traffic flow prediction.
