  • Publication number: 20260003914
    Abstract: An unknown web page is received for categorization, for example, from a web filtering service in a web browser or a firewall. Semantic embeddings are generated by enriching the unknown web page with semantic meaning in order to determine an unknown web page vector. Proximity of the unknown web page semantic embeddings to the known web categories is calculated by comparing the average vector against the unknown web page vector. A category label for a web site category for the new web page is output based on the calculated proximity. Once known, web filtering and other network policies can be applied to the web page.

  • Patent number: 11914129
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a system and method for STED nanography, which reduces background noise. To remove background noise from a STED image, the polarization of the STED beam is altered from that used to obtain the original image. A polarized image is obtained. This polarized image can then be subtracted from the original image to remove noise inherent to the image.

  • Patent number: 10148700
    Abstract: Systems and methods for classification of web sites and/or their corresponding URLs based on a known web site classification are provided. According to one embodiment, a website URL is received that is known to be associated with a particular content classification. A list of candidate domain names including a host name of the website URL is generated based on a defined TLD list. For each of the candidate domain names it is determined whether an IP address of the candidate domain name is equal to an IP address of the website URL. When the result is affirmative, the particular content classification is associated with the candidate domain name; otherwise, a cosine similarity measurement process is performed between information associated with the candidate domain name and information associated with the website URL to determine whether to associate the particular content classification with the candidate domain name.

  • Publication number: 20180025012
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving accuracy of web content classification by removing perceived noise are provided. The system receives a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a web page that needs to be classified, and parses the web page so as to construct a tree containing a list of tags. Unwanted tags are removed from the list of tags to yield a tree containing only desired tags that form part of the web page. Subsequently, a list of hyperlinks are based on processing of the tree having desired tags, wherein the list of hyperlinks can include unwanted/undesired/invalid hyperlinks and valid hyperlinks. Unwanted hyperlinks can accordingly be removed from the list of hyperlinks, and each valid hyperlink can be categorized based on a list of categories, and a final category for the web page is determined based on a vector analysis of each category assigned to each valid hyperlink.
