  • Publication number: 20240211596
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for detecting malicious code using graph neural networks. A call graph is created from the computer code by identifying functions in the computer code and vectorizing the identified functions using a stream of application programming interfaces (APIs) called by the functions and using tokens generated for the functions using a byte pair tokenizer. A trained graph neural network (GNN) and a trained attention neural network are applied to the call graph to generate an output graph with each node representing a function and each node assigned weights based on a probability distribution of the maliciousness of the corresponding function. A graph embedding is generated by calculating a weighted sum of the assigned weights and a trained deep neural network is applied to the graph embedding to generate a malicious score for the computer code identifying the computer code as malicious or benign.

  • Publication number: 20240114053
    Abstract: A device, system, and method are provided for detecting an email phishing attack by training graph neural network to detect phishing emails based on hypertext markup language (HTML) tags and cascading style sheets (CSS) included in an email. Noise is added during the training of the graph neural network to make the trained graph neural networks more robust against small changes in the training data.

  • Patent number: 11735188
    Abstract: A system and method may identify a fraud ring based on call or interaction data by analyzing by a computer processor interaction data including audio recordings to identify clusters of interactions which are suspected of involving fraud each cluster including the same speaker; analyzing by the computer processor the clusters, in combination with metadata associated with the interaction data, to identify fraud rings, each fraud ring describing a plurality of different speakers, each fraud ring defined by a set of speakers and a set of metadata corresponding to interactions including that speaker; and for each fraud ring, creating a relevance value defining the relative relevance of the fraud ring.

  • Publication number: 20230222333
    Abstract: A computer training device and method is provided for training a deep learning algorithm to classify incoming emails as belonging to one of multiple categories. The deep learning algorithm uses a loss function to avoid a low precision risk caused by a number of received emails for at least two of the multiple categories being imbalanced (e.g., by at least two orders of magnitude). The loss function compensates for the imbalance in received emails by changing depending on the criticality of the score being determined.

  • Patent number: 11676067
    Abstract: A system and method for creating input data to be used to train a conversational bot may include receiving a set of conversations, each conversation including sentences, classifying each sentence into a dialog act taken from a number of dialog acts, for each set of sentences classified into a dialog act, clustering the set of sentences into clusters based on the content (e.g. text) of the sentences, each cluster having a cluster name or label, and generating a language model based on the cluster labels. Slots may be identified in the sentences based in part on the dialog act classifications. A bot may be trained using data such as the slots, language model, and clusters.

  • Patent number: 11604825
    Abstract: A system is provided to predict requested playbacks of media files by users from a media storage system. The system includes a processor and a computer readable medium operably coupled thereto, to perform predictive playback operations which include accessing an AI model and a media file comprising metadata associated with generating the media file, generating a predictive score for a playback of the media file based on the AI model and the metadata, comparing the predictive score to a threshold required to transcode the media file into a playback format prior to the playback, predicting the playback based on the comparing, determining a predicted playback time of the media file based on the metadata for the media file, and transcoding the media file into the playback format prior to the predicted playback time.
