  • Publication number: 20190332779
    Abstract: A method and system. A dataset is generated according to a code package. The code package includes an image file associated with a container for a tenant in a cloud environment. The dataset includes general information related to security aspects of the image file. The image file includes two or more image layers. A security indicator of the image file is extracted according to the dataset. A security level of the image file is determined by comparing the extracted security indicator of the image file with a security indicator of an authenticated image file. A vulnerability in the image file is identified based on the determined security level. In response to the vulnerability having been identified, the image file is updated with a patch that fixes the identified vulnerability. The patch includes a new image layer added to the two or more image layers in the updated image file.

  • Publication number: 20190303716
    Abstract: Points around a point of interest are sampled. The points and the point of interest each have a value for each of a number of input features. The points and the point of interest each have a corresponding output score for a machine learning model. A feature contribution vector for the input features is determined by locally approximating the machine learning model at the points and the point of interest using a model, such as a ridge regression model. The ridge regression model can have a loss function, which can include a Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence term. The feature contribution vector approximates for any point a contribution of each input feature to the output score of this point by the machine learning model. The input features most responsible for the machine learning model having provided the corresponding output score for the point of interest, based on the feature contribution vector, are provided.

  • Patent number: 10366406
    Abstract: A social networking system receives information describing locations associated with a plurality of its users. Based on information identifying each user and a location associated with each user, the social networking system generates and stores hash values. For example, the social networking system maintains various geo-tiles that each identify geographic areas and generates a hash value based on a user identifier and an identifier of a geo-tile including the location associated with the user. Based on the hash values and locations associated with one or more users, the online system determines a number of unique users associated with locations included in a geographic region. When determining the number of unique users, the online system accounts for a rate at which the online system updates location information associated with various users.

  • Publication number: 20190222636
    Abstract: A control-plane component of a virtual network interface (VNI) multiplexing service assigns one or more VNIs as members of a first interface group. A first VNI of the interface group is attached to a first compute instance. Network traffic directed to a particular endpoint address associated with the first interface group is to be distributed among members of the first interface group by client-side components of the service. The control-plane component propagates membership metadata of the first interface group to the client-side components. In response to a detection of an unhealthy state of the first compute instance, the first VNI is attached to a different compute instance by the control-plane component.
