  • Patent number: 11017019
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for authentic content search using style classifications. A system may be a search engine that uses a set of style classifiers to detect one or more styles associated with an image and a logistic regression model to determine a level of authenticity for the image based on the associated styles. Training images are fed to train a series of neural networks that output a set of style classifiers. An image is processed through the style classifiers to determine respective probabilities for each style classification. The results from the set of style classifiers are then input to the logistic regression model to determine an authenticity score for the image. For example, the authenticity score shows how authentic is an image (e.g., a score of 1.0 refers to 100% authenticity, whereas a score of 0.0 represents a non-authentic image).

    Abstract: A system associates sequentially descending weights with items in a reference list. The system identifies overlapping items from the first position to the second position in both the reference list and a test list. The system determines a weighted overlap for the overlapping items by combining the weights for each overlapping item to create a reference item weight, combining the weights for each item from the first position to the second position in the reference list to create a reference position weight, and determining the ratio between the reference item weight and the reference position weight. The system identifies overlapping items from the first position to the third position in both the reference list and the test list, and then determines a weighted overlap for these overlapping items. The system outputs the average weighted overlap as an efficiency evaluation of the information retrieval system that created the test list.

  • Patent number: 10565523
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes a computing system receiving a plurality of data items that include content data. The system then generates a first inference model based on the received content data. The system also receives metadata associated with respective data items and then generates a second inference model based on the received metadata data. The system further determines, based on the first inference model, a first weight parameter associated with the content data, and determines, based on the second inference model, a second weight parameter associated with the metadata. The system then generates a classification model for determining a classification of at least one data item of the plurality of data items. The classification model is generated based on at least one of the first weight parameter or the second weight parameter.

  • Patent number: 10505981
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to web page analysis, and more particularly to detecting malicious behavior using an accomplice model. In certain embodiments, the accomplice model may determine that a URI is associated with malicious behavior based upon the URI being associated with an attribute determined to be related to malicious behavior. Examples of an attribute include a host system, a domain, or an element of a document used to render the web page. Examples of an element of a document used to render the web page may include an active/dynamic element (e.g., a function, a script, etc.) or an inactive/static element (e.g., a string, a number, a frame, a tracking username, a social networking username, etc.).

  • Patent number: 10187369
    Abstract: A controller for user authentication and access control, configured to: store data representing a graph having: nodes representing data elements associated with accesses made using an access token; and links among the nodes representing connections between the data elements identified in details of the accesses. In response to receiving details of an access made using the access token, the controller updates the graph according to the details and identifies changes in the graph resulting from update. For each of the changes, the controller identifies a set of elements in the graph that are up to a predetermined number of degrees of separate from the change and evaluates the trustworthiness of user identities corresponding to the set of elements identified for the change. Based on the trustworthiness, the controller authenticates the user of the access and/or controls the access.

  • Patent number: 10148750
    Abstract: While providing a storage service to a client system, a storage system maintains a complete set of storage service metadata for the service on the same storage device that stores the user data received from the client system. When an event is detected that requires the storage service to be moved to a new storage system, the storage service can be moved to a new storage system by moving the storage device containing both the user data and the storage service metadata to the new storage system. The new storage system detects the storage device that has been moved, and detects the storage service metadata and user data. The new storage system then uses the storage service metadata and user data from the storage device to immediately reestablish the storage service with the client system, without having to perform a separate step of copying the storage service metadata from the previous storage system.

  • Patent number: 9749352
    Abstract: Provided are a harmful site collection device and method for determining a harmful site by analyzing a connection between harmful sites. The harmful site collection device extracts a URL linked to a web page of a harmful site; checks a link circulation on the basis of link information on a web page of the URL linked to the harmful site to determine whether the web page of the URL linked to the harmful site is a harmful site; and, when a URL of a prestored non-harmful site is extracted while the link circulation is checked, stops checking the link circulation that includes the URL of the non-harmful site. Accordingly, the harmful site collection device can more easily determine a harmful site merely with information on a URL linked to a web page and can reduce the amount of computation using information on a URL of a prestored non-harmful site.
