Patent number: 12034740Abstract: In response to a process being triggered, at least in part by receipt of information regarding communication directed to a first application by a second application, a threat level is computed based at least in part on the information. As a result of the threat level being of a first severity, the second application is migrated to a destination zone that allows for improved communications with the first application. As a result of the threat level being of a second severity, migration of the second application to the destination zone is delayed. As a result of the threat level being of a third severity, a mitigation action is performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Scott Gerard Carmack, Narasimha Rao Lakkakula, Nima Sharifi Mehr

Patent number: 11507862Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for determining skill adjacencies using a machine learning model. A computer calculates first similarity scores between first skill vectors obtained from one or more training datasets and second similarity scores between the first skill vectors and skill category vectors pre-calculated from job requisitions, using both a reference corpus word embedding model and a target corpus word embedding model. The computer generates features extracted from the first similarity scores and the second similarity scores. Based on the features, the computer trains a machine learning model for classifying combinations of skills as adjacent and non-adjacent. The machine learning model is used to determine skill adjacencies between skills extracted from the job requisitions and skills extracted from resumes.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stephen Mitchell, David Glenn George, Matthew Morehouse, John Arthur Medicke, Scott Gerard

Patent number: 11507769Abstract: A method and system to interpret sensor transmission patterns to analyze anomalies in a smart environment include obtaining a map of the smart environment, the map including an indication of obstructions and openings. The method includes determining an initial location of each sensor of a plurality of sensors in the smart environment. Each sensor emits a transmission after each detection. The method also includes identifying an initial transmission pattern associated with each sensor, and identifying a change in the initial transmission pattern of a sensor among the plurality of sensors. The change is interpreted to determine whether the change in the initial transmission pattern of the sensor among the plurality of sensors is due to movement or obstruction of the sensor. Action is taken based on a determination that the sensor among the plurality of sensors is obstructed or removed.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Susann Marie Keohane, Scott Gerard, Aliza Heching, Samuel Scott Adams, Mohammad Arif Ul Alam
