  • Publication number: 20250156542
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for identifying unique byte sequences for malware families. A method can include receiving a collection of malware signature samples, grouping the samples in the collection by malware family, and for each family: identifying unique byte sequences in the samples and a number of instances of the unique byte sequences across the samples, adding the identified unique byte sequences to a dictionary for the malware family, retrieving a dictionary of at least another malware family, comparing the unique byte sequences in the dictionary for the malware family with byte sequences in the dictionary of the another malware family, identifying a conflicting byte sequence based on (i) the comparison and (ii) determining that a number of instances of the conflicting byte sequence is more than a threshold number of instances, and removing the identified conflicting byte sequence from the dictionary for the malware family.

  • Publication number: 20250077487
    Abstract: Searches based on an incoming ticket identify quality ticket enrichment data using a vector database. Language model prompts target particular kinds of quality ticket data. The incoming quality ticket, or a search result ticket, or both, are enriched using enrichment data, such as a user intent identification, a workaround suggestion, a resolution description, a target audience description, a relevance description, an impact description, a description of missing resolution facilitation information, an association between the incoming quality ticket and the search result ticket, a user sentiment identification, a tag suggestion, or a feedback utility estimate. The enrichment reduces engineering and support burdens, and facilitates faster more effective resolution of the problem or the request that is stated or implied in the incoming quality ticket. Duplicate tickets are merged or removed. Tickets are prioritized. Missing problem resolution information is identified and requested sooner.

  • Publication number: 20240281531
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for identifying a malware family to which a malware sample belongs. A method can include receiving, by a computer system, a collection of malware signature samples for a malware family, identifying a test malware sample for testing whether the collection of malware signature samples includes a malware sample that causes generation of at least one malware detection rule that does not satisfy rule quality criteria, injecting the test malware sample into the collection, simulating sequence generation of the collection based on: applying the at least one rule to the collection to cause the collection to generate malware signature sequences, and generating a count indicating a quantity of the generated malware signature sequences, then determining whether the count satisfies family inclusion criteria, and adding the test malware sample to a dictionary for the malware family based on determining the count satisfies the family inclusion criteria.

  • Publication number: 20240211842
    Abstract: An online concierge system fulfills orders for items offered by retailers and may increase the price of an item offered by a retailer in some instances. The online concierge system applies a markup to an item by applying a pricing policy to a category including the item. To optimize application of pricing policies to categories, the online concierge system categorizes items offered by the retailer and applies an outcome model to combinations of categories and pricing policies. From the output of the outcome model, the online concierge system selects a set of categories and corresponding pricing policies. Using a price adjustment model, the online concierge system determines modifications to one or more of the pricing policies of the set to enforce one or more constraints across multiple pricing policies.

  • Patent number: 11934810
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of translating an edit from a child computer language to a parent computer language while maintaining a semantic meaning of the edit. Parent code that is based on the parent computer language is compiled, which automatically triggers generation of child code that is mapped to the parent code and that is based on the child computer language. A determination is made that the edit, which is not mapped to the parent code, is implemented in the child code to provide edited child code. The parent code is updated to include a change that is based on the semantic meaning of the edit. The updated parent code is configured such that compilation of the updated parent code automatically triggers generation of an updated version of the child code that includes the semantic meaning of the edit.

  • Publication number: 20240070393
    Abstract: An online concierge system generates suggested instructions for presentation to a user. The online concierge system access instruction examples corresponding to a target item category and generates candidate instruction representations based on instruction messages within each instruction example. The online concierge system generates preliminary scores for the candidate instruction representations that are directly related to an intra-category frequency of use of the instruction tokens of the candidate instruction representation within the target item category. The online system normalizes these preliminary scores for the candidate instruction representations based on the inter-category frequency of use of the instruction tokens in all item categories to generate final scores for the candidate instruction representations. The online concierge system selects a set of instruction representations based on these final scores and generates suggested instructions based on the set of instruction representations.
