Publication number: 20230244946Abstract: Anomaly detection in industrial dynamic process can include receiving a set of multivariate time series data representative of sensor data obtained over time. The set of multivariate time series data can be transformed into a set of signature vectors in an embedding space. A neural network can be trained to estimate a probability distribution of the set of signature vectors in the embedding space. Streaming data can be received. The streaming data can be appended with a previously stored time series data. The appended streaming data can be transformed into an embedding. The embedding can be input into the trained neural network, the trained neural network outputting a first probability distribution score. A second probability distribution score associated with the embedding can be determined based on a given proposed probability distribution. Anomaly score can be determined based on the first probability distribution score and the second probability distribution score.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Kyong Min Yeo, Tsuyoshi Ide, Bhanukiran Vinzamuri, Wesley M.

Patent number: 11599806Abstract: This disclosure provides a method, apparatus and computer program product to create a full homomorphic encryption (FHE)-friendly machine learning model. The approach herein leverages a knowledge distillation framework wherein the FHE-friendly (student) ML model closely mimics the predictions of a more complex (teacher) model, wherein the teacher model is one that, relative to the student model, is more complex and that is pre-trained on large datasets. In the approach herein, the distillation framework uses the more complex teacher model to facilitate training of the FHE-friendly model, but using synthetically-generated training data in lieu of the original datasets used to train the teacher.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanthi Sarpatwar, Nalini K.

Publication number: 20220374904Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product that provides multi-phase privacy-preserving inferencing in a high throughput data environment, e.g., to facilitate fraud prediction, detection and prevention. In one embodiment, two (2) machine learning models are used, a first model that is trained in the clear on first transaction data, and a second model that is trained in the clear but on the first transaction data, and user data. The first model is used to perform inferencing in the clear on the high throughput received data. In this manner, the first model provides a first level evaluation of whether a particular transaction might be fraudulent. If a transaction is flagged in this first phase, a second more secure inference is then carried out using the second model. The inferencing performed by the second model is done on homomorphically encrypted data. Thus, only those transactions marked by the first model are passed to the second model for secure evaluation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Roman Vaculin, Kanthi Sarpatwar, Hong Min

Publication number: 20220376888Abstract: Privacy-preserving homomorphic inferencing utilizes batch processing on encrypted data records. Each data record has a private data portion of interest against which the inferencing is carried out. Batch processing is enabled with respect to a set of encrypted data records by techniques that ensure that each encrypted data record has its associated private data portion in a unique location relative to the other data records. The set of encrypted data records are then summed to generate a single encrypted data record against which the inferencing is done. In a first embodiment, the private data portions of interest are selectively and uniquely positioned at runtime (when the inferencing is being applied). In a second embodiment, the private data portions of interest are initially positioned with the data-at-rest, preferably in an off-line process; thereafter, at runtime individual encrypted data records are processed as necessary to adjust the private data portions to unique positions prior to batching.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanthi Sarpatwar, Roman Vaculin, Ehud Aharoni, James Thomas Rayfield, Omri Soceanu

Patent number: 11502820Abstract: A technique for computationally-efficient privacy-preserving homomorphic inferencing against a decision tree. Inferencing is carried out by a server against encrypted data points provided by a client. Fully homomorphic computation is enabled with respect to the decision tree by intelligently configuring the tree and the real number-valued features that are applied to the tree. To that end, and to the extent the decision tree is unbalanced, the server first balances the tree. A cryptographic packing scheme is then applied to the balanced decision tree and, in particular, to one or more entries in at least one of: an encrypted feature set, and a threshold data set, that are to be used during the decision tree evaluation process. Upon receipt of an encrypted data point, homomorphic inferencing on the configured decision tree is performed using a highly-accurate approximation comparator, which implements a “soft” membership recursive computation on real numbers, all in an oblivious manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nalini K.

Patent number: 11271958Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for detecting anomalous data in an encrypted data set. An example method generally includes receiving a data set of encrypted data points. A tree data structure having a number of levels is generated for the data set. Each level of the tree data structure generally corresponds to a feature of the encrypted plurality of features, and each node in the tree data structure at a given level represents a probability distribution of a likelihood that each data point is less than or greater than a split value determined for a given feature. An encrypted data point is received for analysis, and anomaly score is calculated based on a probability identified for each of the plurality of encrypted features. Based on determining that the calculated anomaly score exceeds a threshold value, the encrypted data point is identified as potentially anomalous.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanthi Sarpatwar, Venkata Sitaramagiridharganesh Ganapavarapu, Saket Sathe, Roman Vaculin
