  • Patent number: 11868499
    Abstract: An internally-constructed permissions graph database enabling a user to construct and alter the graph database permissions within the graph database. Edge permissions define whether a one node can View, Edit, or Manage another node. A node can view another node if there is at least one edge path connecting the nodes having a “View” permission. Similarly, a node can “Edit” or “Manage” another node if there is at least one edge path connecting the nodes having allowing “Edit” and/or “Manage” permissions, respectively. If a contiguous path of permission edges does not exist from the “caller node” to the “requested node” to be acted upon, then permission to perform the desired action or operation on that node is not granted. Edges have permissions, and Nodes have properties. A “Caller Node” makes Requests upon and “Requested Node,” which are limited by edge permissions.

    Abstract: Machine learning techniques are used in combination with graph data structures to perform automated classification of accounts. Graphs may be constructed using a seed node and then expanded outward to second-degree nodes and third-degree nodes that are connected to a seed user account node via direct interaction between the accounts. Characterization information regarding the interaction between accounts can be stored in the graph (e.g., quantity of interactions, types of interactions) as well as other metrics and metadata. A classifier, using random forest or another technique, may be trained using a number of different graphs that can then be used to reach a determination as to whether a user account falls into one particular category or another. These techniques can identify accounts that may be violating terms of service, committing a security violation, and/or performing illegal actions in a way that is not ascertainable from human analysis.

  • Patent number: 8738635
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to ranking search results using a junk profile. For a given corpus of documents, one or more junk profiles may be created and maintained. The junk profile provides reference metrics to represent known junk documents. For example, a junk profile may comprise a dictionary of document data that is automatically inserted into documents created using a particular system or template. A junk profile may also comprise one or more representations (e.g., histograms) of a distribution of a particular junk variable for known junk documents. The junk profile provides a usable representation of known junk documents, and the present systems and methods employ the junk profile to predict the likelihood that documents in the corpus are junk. In embodiments, junk scores are calculated and used to rank such documents higher or lower in response to a search query.
