Skip Mode Using Highly Similar Reference Frames, Yunqing Wang, Jingning Han, Xiang Li

Defensive Publications Series

This paper introduces a novel method for video compression, specifically focusing on a technique termed "Skip Mode Using Highly Similar Reference Frames." The approach leverages the identification of reference frames that closely resemble the current frame to enhance compression efficiency. By determining highly similar reference frames through a threshold-based comparison of block errors, the technique enables the encoding of current blocks using mode information from neighboring blocks. This process reduces the bits required for signaling mode information, thereby improving compression performance.

Creating And Managing Security Policies For Multiple Cloud Platforms, Ujwala Kawalay, Mukesh Marodia, Kishore Garg

Defensive Publications Series

A system for creating and managing security policies for multiple cloud platforms is configured to generate a security policy, use one or more policy engines to convert the security policy to one or more formats compatible with different cloud platforms, and deploy the security policies to the cloud platforms. The system can also retrieve a security policy from a cloud platform and determine whether the security policy has been modified on the cloud platform but not on the system, which may indicate a misconfiguration of the security policy or that a malicious action has occurred.

User Plane Path Optimizations For Mobile Core Networks, Harish Kinnal, Vinay Vijayakumar, Renuka Govind Jadhav

Defensive Publications Series

In a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) mobile core network, the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Tunneling Protocol (GTP) is used to establish data plane connectivity via user plane GTP (GTP-U) endpoints to tunnel traffic for user equipment (UE) across the network. Given that between any two mobile network data nodes, GTP-U end points remain the same and can serve multiple UE packets, it is proposed herein to consolidate multiple smaller UE packets into single larger GTP-U packets, which can help to reduce the packet per second (PPS) in the network and can also help to reduce the packet processing …

Representing Tabular Data Using Large Language Models, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Telemetry captures rich information about what is happening in the customer environment in tabular format. To exploit this data effectively we need a representation which is amenable to machine learning algorithms. The challenge in processing tabular data arises due to presence of variety of features like categorical, ordinal and numerical. Traditional representation techniques like label encoding/one-hot encoding fails to capture inherent order, if present, in categorical features, which is important for downstream tasks like classification or clustering. We propose a methodology which uses large language model embeddings to get a continuous space representation of the tabular data using domain knowledge. …

Data Loss Prevention System Using Embeddings From An Ai Model, Amit Verma

Defensive Publications Series

A data loss prevention (DLP) system and method can use embeddings generated from possibly confidential data to determine if the data does, in fact, contain confidential data. The possibly confidential data is obtained from a software application, network firewall, cloud service, or other computing component. The system generates an embedding based on the possibly confidential data and compares the embedding to one or more embeddings stored in a data store. The stored embeddings are embeddings generated from known confidential data. Responsive to the generated embedding being above a threshold similarity to a stored embedding, the system may cause a DLP …

Self-Healing Epoxy To Prevent Eac Of Wires Within The End Fitting, Baker Hughes Company

Defensive Publications Series

It has been seen that there is a risk of corrosion or cracking of armour wires within the end fitting in extreme environments / conditions if the epoxy in the end fitting cavity is cracked. If a self-healing additive is added to the epoxy, any cracks which do form in it will then promote self-healing and resist further development of cracks; consequently the cracking which does occur does not provide a path for water and other chemicals to reach the surface of the armour wires embedded in the epoxy, and thereby mitigating the risk of environmentally assisted cracking of those …

Filtering Model Driven Telemetry Data Of Network Devices To Optimize Full Stack Observability, Sudha Sankar, Debashree Jena Barat, Shivani Palaniappan, Pranothi N, Dmitry Goloubew

Defensive Publications Series

Full Stack Observability brings together data from multiple operational domains to provide unified visibility, derive real-time insights and recommend actions to improve application performance, application security and resource optimization. The volume and scale of telemetry data from various domains is extremely large. This can eventually strain the platform and result in processing delays. A filtering mechanism at the data source, such as at the network devices, can help propagate only the crucial model driven telemetry data to the platform. This solution would help address the issue of telemetry data volume by efficiently reducing it at the source.

Patch-Based Encoding And Streaming For Real-Time Visual Transformer Inference, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

On-server vision transformer (ViT) models can suffer from substantial send-to-inference latency because the entire image is encoded at the client at once before transmission. Server-side ViT inference does not begin until the entire image is uploaded. This disclosure describes techniques that leverage the patch-based token structure of transformer decoders to stream encoded patches of an image (rather than the fully encoded image) from a client to a server. Effectively, patching and encoding are pipelined such that the delay at the client for compressing full images for a single send to the server is saved. Early stopping can be used to …
