Patent number: 11869235Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise an analytic server, which provides a terrain segmentation and classification tool for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The server accurately segments and classifies terrain types in SAR imagery and automatically adapts to new radar sensors data. The server receives a first SAR imagery and trains an autoencoder based on the first SAR imagery to generate learned representations of the first SAR imagery. The server trains a classifier based on labeled data of the first SAR imagery data to recognize terrain types from the learned representations of the first SAR imagery. The server receives a terrain query for a second SAR imagery. The server translates the second imagery data into the first imagery data and classifies the second SAR imagery terrain types using the classifier trained for the first SAR imagery. By reusing the original classifier, the server improves system efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Architecture Technology CorporationInventors: Paul Nicotera, Robert Joyce, Judson Powers, Daniel Mcardle

Publication number: 20230297841Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprising an analytic server that automates training dataset generation for different application areas. The server may perform an automated, iterative refinement process to build a collection of dataset generator models over time. The server may receive a set of seed examples in a domain and generate candidate examples based on the features of the seed examples using data synthesis techniques. The server may execute a pre-trained label discriminator (LD) and domain discriminator (D2) on the candidate examples. The LD may identify and reject mislabeled data. The D2 may identify and reject out of domain data. The analytic server may regenerate new labeled data based on the feedback of the LD and D2. The analytic server may train a dataset generator by iteratively performing these steps for refinement until the regenerated candidate examples reach a pass rate threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Paul NICOTERA, Mandeep SINGH

Patent number: 11687578Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and apparatus that execute classification techniques to enable high-quality analysis of ingest data by interpreting and categorizing disparate data points of the ingest data. The execution of the classification techniques leads to isolation of intrinsic properties of each data point to represent the essence of what the overall ingest data indicates. The classification techniques further enables classification of the ingest data, which is unencumbered by any ingest data format changes, such as ordering of data components, encoding, or properties associated with the ingest data that are likely to change without altering meaning conveyed by the ingest data.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2020Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Scott Aloisio, Paul Nicotera

Patent number: 11494295Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes methods and devices for analyzing source code to detect potential bugs in the code. Specifically, a device retrieves source code of an application. For each distinct execution of a plurality of executions of the application, the device initiates the respective execution at a particular starting point of the source code and inputs, into the source code, a unique set of inputs relative to any other execution. The device stores, into a path log, an indication of each line of source code and stores, into an output log, an indication of each output object encountered during the respective execution. Each output object includes a local variable dependent on the inputs. The device analyzes, using a machine learning model, the path and output logs to identify an abnormality indicative of a potential bug in the source code. The device outputs a graphical representation of the abnormality.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Architecture Technology CorporationInventors: Joseph Sirianni, Paul Nicotera, Eric R.

Patent number: 11429713Abstract: The methods and systems disclosed herein generally relate to automated execution and evaluation of computer network training exercises, such as in a virtual environment. A server generates a training system having a virtual attack machine and a virtual target machine where the virtual target machine is operatively controlled by a trainee computer. The server then executes a simulated cyber-attack and monitors/collects actions and responses by the trainee. The server then executes an artificial intelligence model to evaluate the trainee's action and to identify a subsequent simulated cyber-attack (e.g., a next step to the simulated cyber-attack). The server may then train the artificial intelligence model using various machine-learning techniques using the collected data during the exercise.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew Donovan, Paul Nicotera, Dahyun Hollister, Robert Joyce, Judson Powers
