Techniques To Facilitate Intelligent Mec Application Deployment For Private 5g Enterprise Networks, Robert Barton, Matthias Falkner, Indermeet Gandhi, Jerome Henry, Vinay Saini
Defensive Publications Series
Private 5G networks are emerging that allow a cellular network to be deployed and operated as an extension of an enterprise network. The deployment of such a private 5G cellular network typically involves the integration of cellular network components with exiting elements of an enterprise network, such as using the existing network to implement fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul network connectivity. A key advantage of 5G cellular connectivity is the ability to offer edge compute resources to user equipment through the use of multi-access edge compute (MEC) deployments. However, in an enterprise network, edge compute resources may be scarce. In order …

Explainable Feature Drift Monitoring System For Predictive Machine Learning Models, Hao Xu, Can Liu, Chiranjeet Chetia
Defensive Publications Series
The present disclosure provides a novel method wherein a classifier-based drift scoring model is initially constructed using historical data. The derivation of SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values from the drift scoring model is employed to discern the individual contributions of various features to the calculated drift score. To enhance the granularity of drift pattern comprehension, new data is systematically categorized into multiple clusters based on the similarity of their drift patterns, as elucidated by SHAP values. The performance degradation of a deployed predictive model is then meticulously evaluated under distinct drift patterns. This evaluation offers detailed insights into the differential …

Email Scanning Optimization Techniques, Suresh Gopathy, Gajendar Pandey
Defensive Publications Series
Typically, a Secure Mailbox (SM) or Secure Email Gateway (SEG) that receives emails for an organization scans emails and performs threat detection/handling for the emails (e.g., allowing or dropping emails) based on various handling policies configured for the organization. Currently, an SM/SEG completely scans all email each time an email traverses the SM/SEG (e.g., for an initial email and any subsequent replies/responses for a conversation/email thread), which can result in high usage of compute resources for an organization, potentially increasing the cost of email services, as well as increasing the latency of email delivery. In order to address such issues, …

Fusing Voice And Gesture Input To Improve Text Transcription Accuracy, D Shin
Defensive Publications Series
While speech input, detected by on-device microphones, enables users to provide voice commands or other text at a higher speed than typing, the accuracy of transcription can suffer in certain environments, e.g., in the presence of background noise. Gesture input via a virtual keyboard is convenient but slower and also prone to errors, e.g., when a gesture resolves to multiple words. Per techniques of this disclosure, a user can provide spoken and gesture input at the same time to a user device. Each input is converted to text separately. The stereo text stream is time aligned using word-to-word distance to …

Data Lineage Resolver For Grounding Large Language Model Inference, Hari Bhaskar S
Defensive Publications Series
An important challenge when using LLMs in business applications is to account for different sources of information that have conflicting values for the same data at the time the LLM performs the inference task based on such data. When multiple potentially conflicting sources of data are available, LLMs used in business applications may need grounding with facts. This disclosure describes a data lineage resolver that can utilize a data lineage catalog to enable LLM output to be verified for grounding based on the data source(s) used for the output and once verified, provided to the business application.

Recent improvements in computing power and ambient technologies have opened up new perspectives in ambient intelligence and proactive software systems. The need emerges for an ambient and supportive system that deeply understands the user's needs and preferences under the current context. In this work, we propose a recommendation system that aggregates and understands the current situation and continuously learns from the user’s decision history. To leverage a rich pool of contextual data, the system dynamically changes the strategy and scope for contextualization and encodes multimodal data into unified embeddings. A contextual similarity database consisting of these embeddings is leveraged for …
