Patent number: 11301773Abstract: Techniques that facilitate time series analysis using machine learning are provided. In one example, a system includes a matrix generation component, a matrix factorization component and a machine learning component. The matrix generation component converts at least a first stream of time series data and a second stream of time series data (e.g., raw time series data) into a data matrix (e.g., a partially-observed similarity matrix) that comprises void data and numerical data associated with the first stream of time series data and the second stream of time series data. The matrix factorization component factorizes the data matrix into a first factorization data matrix and a second factorization data matrix. The machine learning component processes a machine learning model based on first matrix data associated with the first factorization data matrix and second matrix data associated with the second factorization data matrix.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Qi Lei, Wei Sun, Roman Vaculin, Jinfeng Yi

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

Publication number: 20210397988Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2020Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanthi Sarpatwar, Nalini K.

Publication number: 20210377042Abstract: A method verifies an authenticity, integrity, and provenance of outputs from steps in a process flow. One or more processor(s) validate one or more inputs to each step in a process flow by verifying at least one of a hash and a digital signature of each of the one or more inputs. The processor(s) then generate digital signatures that cover outputs of each step and the one or more inputs to each step, such that the digital signatures result in a chain of digital signatures that are used to verify an authenticity, an integrity and a provenance of outputs of the one or more steps in the process flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2020Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: ENRIQUILLO VALDEZ, RICHARD H.

Publication number: 20210376995Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2020Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nalini K.

Publication number: 20210344478Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for homomorphic inference on a decision tree (DT) model. In lieu of HE-based inferencing on the decision tree, the inferencing instead is performed on a neural network (NN), which acts as a surrogate. To this end, the neural network is trained to learn DT decision boundaries, preferably without using the original DT model data training points. During training, a random data set is applied to the DT, and expected outputs are recorded. This random data set and the expected outputs are then used to train the neural network such that the outputs of the neural network match the outputs expected from applying the original data set to the DT. Preferably, the neural network has low depth, just a few layers. HE-based inferencing on the decision tree is done using HE inferencing on the shallow neural network. The latter is computationally-efficient and is carried without the need for bootstrapping.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2020Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanthi Sarpatwar, Nalini K.
