  • Patent number: 11829387
    Abstract: An asset stored on a storage device of a computer system is detected to be omitted from an asset-specific access policy. Using a utilization history of the asset, a criticality of the asset is scored, generating a first criticality score for the asset. Using the first criticality score, the asset is classified into a policy category. A selected access policy selected from a set of access policies assigned to a set of assets in the policy category is applied to the asset, the selected access policy specifying an access restriction of the asset.

  • Patent number: 11830011
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable dynamically determining a validity of a return. More specifically, a system obtains a return request from a customer, a transaction history of the customer, and a set of return policy rules. A generative adversarial network (GAN) trained to detect non-genuine returns is applied to the return request. The GAN uses, among other this, the transaction history of the customer and the set of return policy rules as parameters of the GAN. Based on an output of the GAN, at least one return processing action is recommended and implemented.

  • Patent number: 11823235
    Abstract: In an approach for identifying a user's interest in a media object and one or more personalities and presenting the user with a visual of how the media object looks on a particular personality, a processor receives a request to determine suitability of the media object for the user. A processor presents the media object to a multilabel classifier to be matched to a set of profile data of the user and a set of data of one or more personalities. A processor receives an output instruction from the multilabel classifier to combine the media object with a particular personality of the one or more personalities. A processor generates a combined media object of the media object with the particular personality using a generative adversarial neural network. A processor inserts the combined media object into an advertising template to generate an advertisement. A processor presents the advertisement to the user.

  • Patent number: 11811921
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach receives a request to upload a file at a server system that includes metadata encoded with a non-invertible key. The metadata includes contact information corresponding to an owner of the file. The approach establishes both a photon channel and a classical channel between the server system and a client system, which are both secured using one or more shared secret keys. The approach interfaces with the client system over the photon channel and the classical channel to decode the contact information at the server system, and sends an upload request from the server system to the owner of the file using the contact information. The approach authorizes the upload request at the server system in response to receiving an upload approval from the owner.
