    摘要: In an embodiment, a method is performed by a computer system and includes intercepting machine learning (ML) input data before the ML input data flows into a ML model. The method also includes scanning the ML input data against a plurality of ML threat signatures, the scanning yielding at least a first result. The method also includes examining a correlation between values of first and second variables in the ML input data, the examining yielding at least a second result. The method also includes validating at least one of the first and second results via a variability analysis of error instances in the ML input data, the validating yielding at least a third result. The method also includes applying thresholding to the ML input data via the third result, where the applying thresholding results in at least a portion of the ML input data being filtered.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a local control system for a rotor assembly of an apparatus includes a first actuator disposed in the rotor assembly and configured to control motion of a first controllable element in the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly is mounted to the apparatus and is rotated responsive to torque and rotational energy provided thereto. The local control system also includes a first sensor disposed in the rotor assembly and configured to provide position feedback in relation to the first controllable element. The local control system also includes a first local control computer disposed in the rotor assembly and communicably coupled to a first central control computer disposed in the apparatus external to the rotor assembly, where the first local control computer is configured to transmit a control signal to the first actuator and receive a feedback signal from the first sensor.

    摘要: A method, system and computer program product for assessing similarity between two job description documents. Job description documents consist of sentences framed in a particular manner, where the sentences are represented as a set of actions, an object corresponding to each action and a set of attributes corresponding to the object. The two job description documents are parsed to generate a first and a second set of an action-object-attribute triplet representation, where the first set of the action-object-attribute triplet representation is associated with the first job description document and the second set of the action-object-attribute triplet representation is associated with the second job description document. A similarity score between the first and second sets of action-object-attribute triplet representations is then calculated by hierarchically matching the first and second sets of action-object-attribute triplet representations across the job description documents. In this manner, similar job positions/job descriptions may be more accurately identified.

    摘要: A defrost method for a heat pump system includes running the heat pump system in a heating mode to provide heat to an enclosed space and determining if an outdoor temperature is less than an outdoor threshold temperature. Responsive to a determination that the outdoor temperature is below the outdoor threshold temperature, determining if a calibration state has been previously run. Responsive to a determination that the calibration state has not been previously run, running the heat pump system in the calibration state. Responsive to a determination that the calibration state has been previously run, determining if a temperature difference between a temperature of an evaporator coil of the heat pump system and the outdoor temperature exceeds a temperature threshold value. Responsive to a determination that the temperature difference between the evaporator coil and the outdoor temperature is greater than the temperature threshold value, running the heat pump system in a defrost state.
