Abstract: A fiber optic based particle manipulation system employs one or more optical fibers for emanating a refracted optical manipulation signal directed at a target particle for fixing or manipulating the particle for examination, research and manufacturing. A target particle may be a living cell or inanimate sample or compound of matter. An alignment linkage controls optical fibers carrying the manipulation signal for focusing one or more manipulation signals on the target particle. Manipulated particles occupy a fluid medium of either liquid or gas, and are responsive to the manipulation signal based on both photon bombardment and temperature differential from photon contact. The temperature differential is based on surface properties of the target particle, as smooth particles tend to exhibit a greater thermal differential for stronger displacement forces driving or affecting the target particle.

Abstract: Machine-learning (ML) techniques and models are described for predicting the number and severity of network attacks within a specified timeframe, such as the next fifteen minutes. In some embodiments, the techniques including training a ML model based on features extracted from a training dataset and applying the trained ML model to estimate (a) the probability of an attack happening on an account within a specified timeframe; (b) how many attacks are predicted to occur in the specified timeframe (if any); and/or (c) the severity of the attacks predicted to occur. A system may deploy preventative measures based on the ML model output to counter or mitigate the effects of predicted and coordinated network attacks.

Abstract: Machine-learning techniques and models are described for alerting users to attacks on accounts in real-time or near real-time. In some embodiments, an attack detection model uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and multi-level classification techniques to monitor login attempts and detect attacks. The model may use NLP to convert text associated with account activity to numerical vectors, where the vectors include scores and/or other numerical values computed based on the meaning of the converted text. The model may further include a set of classifiers trained to learn patterns in the numerical vectors that are predictive of a network attack. The model may assign labels to events based on the predicted likelihood that the event is an attack. The system may deploy real-time preventative or corrective measures based on the ML model output to counter or mitigate the effects of an attack.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method that receives, by a processor, an ensemble decision tree and generates, by the processor, native code from the ensemble decision tree. The method compiles, by the processor, the native code into machine language and scores, by the processor, the execution time of the native code. The method dynamically reoptimizes, by the processor, portions of the native code corresponding to the most traversed portion of the ensemble decision tree.
