Abstract

A method to determine data uncertainty is provided. The method receives a high dimensional data input and a corresponding data output. The method trains a variational autoencoder (VAE) with the high dimensional data input to learn a low dimensional latent space representation of the high dimensional data input. An encoder part of the VAE outputs a set of distributions of the high dimensional dataset in a latent space. The method samples new data samples in the latent space using the set of distributions outputs from the encoder part of the VAE. The method learns a polynomial chaos expansion to map the new data samples in the latent space to the corresponding data output to learn the set of distributions and their relation to perform estimation with high-dimensional dataset under uncertainty such as missing values by estimating the values using the set of distributions.

Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product for privacy-preserving homomorphic inferencing. In response to receipt of encrypted data, a ciphertext of real numbers is generated. Each real number has an associated sign that is desired to be maintained. A mask is then identified, preferably via an iterative algorithm that works on a trial and error basis to locate an appropriate solution. The mask comprises set of values randomly distributed over a given positive range and that remain positive after encoding under a fixed-point arithmetic and with a low scale value. Under homomorphic encryption, the ciphertext is then multiplied by the mask to generate a result comprising values corresponding to the real numbers in the ciphertext and that maintain their associated signs. The result is provided as a response to the encrypted data.

Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for automated rule set generation for identifying relations in knowledge graph data structures. An input knowledge graph is processed to extract tuples representing relations between entities present in the input knowledge graph. A set of rules is generated based on one or more heuristics applied to tuples, and candidate rule(s) are identified that are candidates for adding to the set of rules. A linear programming computer model is evaluated for a modified set of rules comprising the set of rules and the candidate rule(s) to determine whether or not adding the candidate rule(s) improves an objective function of the linear programming model. The set of rules is expanded to include the candidate rule(s) in response to the evaluation of the linear programming computer model indicating that the addition of the candidate rule(s) improves the objective function of the linear programming computer model.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for modeling a manufacturing process. Snapshots of the system are received, where each snapshot includes a time that the snapshot was taken and a state of the system at that time. Possible transitions paths in a state diagram exhibited by the system are then identified based on the snapshots. A transition path out of the identified transition paths that most likely corresponds to the sequence of state changes exhibited by the system is selected based on information pertaining to a typical time taken by the system from one state to another. A predicted time that the system entered each state of the selected transition path between selected states of the snapshots is determined based on such information as well as the time at which the snapshots were taken. An issue related to the manufacturing process is predicted based on such predicted times.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for generating in-distribution samples of data for a neighborhood distribution to be used by post-hoc local explanation methods. An autoencoder is trained to generate in-distribution samples of input data for the neighborhood distribution to be used by a post-hoc local explanation method. Such training includes mapping the input data (e.g., time series data) into a latent dimension (or latent space) forming a first and a second latent code. A mixed code is then obtained by convexly combining the first and second latent codes with a random coefficient. The mixed code is then decoded with the input data masked with interpretable features to obtain conditional mixed reconstructions. Adversarial training is then performed against a discriminator in order to promote in-distribution samples by computing the reconstruction losses of the conditional mixed reconstructions as well as the discriminator losses and then minimizing such losses.

Abstract

A coordinator module for improving communications within a cloud computing system is disclosed. The coordinator module initiates transaction requests by generating a coordination context, where the coordination context includes a transaction context, a coordination type, and an initiator supplemental address. The coordinator module includes a supplemental address handler for creating the initiator supplemental address that unique identifies the coordinator module and the associated pod. The coordinator module receives transaction responses, where the transaction response includes a coordination context. The coordinator module includes a transaction context checker to verify that the transaction response was not received in error, by comparing the received transaction context with a saved transaction context. The coordinator module includes a registration bridge that identifies an alternate coordinator module and alternate pod to process the transaction response if the transaction contexts do not match. The registration bridge compares the received initiator supplemental address with a saved supplemental address that uniquely identifies each coordinator module and associated pods in the cloud partition. The registration bridge forwards the transaction request to the alternate coordinator module if a match is found, thereby creating a communication path to successfully process the transaction. If no match is found, the coordinator module indicates that the transaction must be retried. A corresponding method and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract

An enhanced threat disposition analysis technique is provided. In response to receipt of a security threat identified in an alert, a threat disposition score (TDS) is retrieved. The TDS is generated from a machine learning scoring model that is built from information about historical security threats, including historical disposition of one or more alerts associated with the historical security threats. The TDS is based in part on an effectiveness of a prior calculated TDS to predict a particular historical disposition associated with the alert. The system augments an alert to include the threat disposition score, optionally together with a confidence level, to generate an enriched alert. The enriched alert is then presented to the security analyst for handling directly. Preferably, the machine learning model is updated continuously as the system handles security threats, thereby increasing the predictive benefit of the TDS scoring.
