Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide attestation for a transient version of an application while reusing the attestation and the cryptographic key on which the attestation is based for the full version of the application should the user obtain the full version of the application prior to the transient version being deleted. As an example, a computing device can detect an upgrade event corresponding to replacing an application clip with the full version of the application, and associate the cryptographic key already stored in a key database with the full version of the application. Associating the existing key with the full version of the application enables the full application to automatically take over the attestation previously provided for the application clip, saving time and resources that would otherwise be used for establishing a new attestation for the full version of the application.

Abstract: Tabular data machine-learning model techniques and systems are described. In one example, common-sense knowledge is infused into training data through use of a knowledge graph to provide external knowledge to supplement a tabular data corpus. In another example, a dual-path architecture is employed to configure an adapter module. In an implementation, the adapter module is added as part of a pre-trained machine-learning model for general purpose tabular models. Specifically, dual-path adapters are trained using the knowledge graphs and semantically augmented trained data. A path-wise attention layer is applied to fuse a cross-modality representation of the two paths for a final result.
