Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating an output sequence of discrete tokens using a diffusion model. In one aspect, a method includes generating, by using the diffusion model, a final latent representation of the sequence of discrete tokens that includes a determined value for each of a plurality of latent variables; applying a de-embedding matrix to the final latent representation of the output sequence of discrete tokens to generate a de-embedded final latent representation that includes, for each of the plurality of latent variables, a respective numeric score for each discrete token in a vocabulary of multiple discrete tokens; selecting, for each of the plurality of latent variables, a discrete token from among the multiple discrete tokens in the vocabulary that has a highest numeric score; and generating the output sequence of discrete tokens that includes the selected discrete tokens.

Abstract: An anomalous behavior detector has been designed to detect novel behavioral changes of devices based on network traffic data that likely correlate to anomalous behaviors. The anomalous behavior detector uses the local outlier factor (LOF) algorithm with novelty detection. After initial semi-supervised training with a single class training dataset representing stable device behaviors, the obtained model continues learning frontiers that delimit subspaces of inlier observations with live network traffic data. Instead of traffic variables being used as features, the features that form feature vectors are similarities of network traffic variable values across time intervals. A feature vector for the anomalous behavior detector represents stability or similarity of network traffic variables that have been chosen as device identifiers and behavioral indicators.

Abstract: Despite otherwise uncomfortable conditions in a surrounding environment, a customizable microenvironment can be created around a user to maintain a comfortable temperature and/or humidity level using a comfort unit. For example, the environment may be an office building where conditions are out of the comfortable range to save on energy or for other reasons, a factory/shop environment that is poorly conditioned, or an outdoor location with little to no conditioning. A sensing unit can monitor biometric and environmental data and can determine a comfort level of the user. The comfort unit can then dynamically respond to the determined comfort level and adjust the microenvironment to improve the user's comfort level. The comfort unit can follow the user as the user moves within the macro-environment, or can otherwise move within the macro-environment to achieve certain functions, such as recharging or spatial shifting of thermal load within the overall macro-environment.
