Patent number: 12093386Abstract: This application relates to ransomware detection and data pruning management. Ransomware typically involves an I/O heavy process of encrypting data files and/or deleting or renaming the original files. Thus, ransomware attacks may be detected by analyzing the I/O activity in a given file system. In some embodiments, a software module running on a client machine manages copying, archiving, migrating, and/or replicating of primary data and restoring and/or pruning secondary data (e.g., backup copies of the primary data). When a potential ransomware attack is detected, the software module is immediately stopped so that the software module does not prune any data that may need to be restored. Upon receiving user input that indicates that the client machine is not under a ransomware attack, the software module is allowed to resume its operations, including pruning of the secondary data.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: PurnaChandra Sekhar Bedhapudi, Sri Karthik Bhagi, Deepak Raghunath Attarde, Arun Prasad Amarendran, Amit Bhaskar Ausarkar, Mrityunjay Upadhyay

Patent number: 12093331Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for generating a filter list to facilitate users to refine their online search. Data items displayed on a web page may be determined based on the user's input data, for example, based on a selection command selecting the data items. Each data item corresponds to a feature of a product. Filters corresponding to the data items may be determined and the weight of each filter may be updated. A filter list may be generated and displayed to facilitate the user to refine his search for a class of products. The filters on the filter list may be automatically ordered based on the weight of each filter. In this way, a user may be able to find filters that are associated with features that he cares about the most and therefore use the filter list to obtain more satisfying results.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2023Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Chih-Hsiang Chow, Elizabeth Furlan, Steven Dang

A log file for these interactions includes the questions, the answers and a confidence rating assigned by the tool to each answer. Questions and answers are analyzed to determine validity, accuracy, and categories by subject matter experts or text analytics tools, and the results are added to the log file. Comments and sentiments from users may be analyzed and added to the log file. Additional data about the users, such as identities, demographics, and locations, may be added. Data from the log file may be presented in a dashboard display as metrics, such as trends and comparisons, describing the usage and performance of the cognitive computing tool. Answers may be displayed as they were presented to the users. Selectable filters may be provided to control the data displayed.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2023Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Sunitha Garapati, Matt Floyd, Darcy Bogle, Oscar Rebollo Martinez, Shawn Perrone, Adam Hellman

Patent number: 12093647Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided that includes receiving a search query and, responsive to the search query, providing one or more textual comments relevant to the search query. This includes tokenizing the search query and calculating a set of query term frequency metrics. A set of records relevant to the search query is then selected, from a persistent storage, based on determined similarities between the query term frequency metrics and frequency metrics determined for the records in the persistent storage. Textual comments within the selected records are associated with usefulness metrics. The textual comments relevant to the search query are selected by selecting those textual comments within the selected records that are associated with usefulness metrics that are within a pre-determined range, e.g., an inter-quartile range for a population of usefulness metrics.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: ServiceNow, Inc.Inventor: Badarinarayan Parthasarathi Burli

Patent number: 12086133Abstract: Examples are directed to systems and methods that cause a first user interface having an input field that receives a search query to be displayed. A search query having an attribute of a first entity is received at the input field. Data records are searched for a second entity using the attribute when the search query is received. A second user interface is displayed that has a data record for the second entity. The data record lists the attribute and an additional attribute of the second entity. The second user interface has a drill down user interface that lists the attribute and the additional attribute. The attribute and the additional attribute are selectable to reconfigure the second user interface. The second user interface has a selectable option to create a new data record where the option corresponds to an indication that the first entity is different from the second entity.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Michael David Gathman, Arun Kallikadavil, Rajesh Kumar, Vinay Purohit

Patent number: 12080066Abstract: A user request for a set of images is received via a graphical user interface, the subset of images having an initial order. A subset of neighboring images is selected, wherein the subset of neighboring images is ordered according to a first sequence. A first concordance value characterizing visual detectability of one or more illicit content features across images in the subset of neighboring images ordered according to the first sequence is computed. A second concordance value characterizing visual detectability of one or more illicit content features across images in the subset of neighboring images ordered according to a second sequence is computed. Responsive to a difference between the second concordance value and the first concordance value satisfying a predetermined condition, the subset of neighboring images is rearranged according to the second sequence.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2021Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Zac James Mullett

Patent number: 12079269Abstract: Visually guided machine-learning language model and embedding techniques are described that overcome the challenges of conventional techniques in a variety of ways. In one example, a model is trained to support a visually guided machine-learning embedding space that supports visual intuition as to “what” is represented by text. The visually guided language embedding space supported by the model, once trained, may then be used to support visual intuition as part of a variety of functionality. In one such example, the visually guided language embedding space as implemented by the model may be leveraged as part of a multi-modal differential search to support search of digital images and other digital content with real-time focus adaptation which overcomes the challenges of conventional techniques.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Pranav Vineet Aggarwal, Zhe Lin, Baldo Antonio Faieta, Saeid Antonio Motiian

Patent number: 12067364Abstract: A plurality of HyperText Markup Language (HTML) strings corresponding to a dataset of document object model (DOM) nodes is tokenized according to a tokenization scheme to produce a dictionary of tokens that occur in the dataset. A condensed dictionary of tokens in produced by removing low-value tokens from the vocabulary of tokens. An information matrix is computed based on the condensed dictionary of tokens, the information matrix being a set of values, a value of the set of values corresponding to a frequency of co-occurrence of a pair of tokens. A library of word vectors is derived from the information matrix. A feature vector of an HTML element is generated based at least in part on the library of word vectors, and a classification for the HTML element is obtained from a machine learning model as a result of inputting the feature vector into the machine learning model.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Klarna Bank ABInventor: Riccardo Sven Risuleo
