Abstract: Methods and systems for authentication include determining, at a first worker system, that a master system that stores a current authentication-list cannot be reached by a first network. Authentication is performed on an authentication request using a previously stored copy of the authentication-list at the first worker system. The authentication includes facial recognition that is performed on detected face images for a first time window, before receiving the authentication request, and for a second time window, after receiving the authentication request. Authentication removes matching detected face images after completing an authentication request to prevent other individuals from using a same identifier. Access is granted to a secured area responsive to the authentication.

Abstract: A method detects anomalies in a system having sensors for collecting multivariate sensor data including discrete event sequences. The method determines, using a NMT model, pairwise relationships among the sensors based on the data. The method forms sequences of characters into sentences on a per sensor basis, by treating each discrete variable in the sequences as a character in natural language. The method translates, using the NMT, the sentences of source sensors to sentences of target sensors to obtain a translation score that quantifies a pairwise relationship strength therebetween. The method aggregates the pairwise relationships into a multivariate relationship graph having nodes representing sensors and edges denoted by the translation score for a sensor pair connected thereto to represent the pairwise relationship strength therebetween. The method performs a corrective action to correct an anomaly responsive to a detection of the anomaly relating to the sensor pair.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods and structures for classification of higher-order spatial modes using machine learning systems and methods in which the classification of high-order spatial modes emitted from a multimode optical fiber does not require indirect measurement of the complex amplitude of a light beam's electric field using interferometry or, holographic techniques via unconventional optical devices/elements, which have prohibitive cost and efficacy; classification of high-order spatial modes emitted from a multimode optical fiber is not dependent on a light beam's alignment, size, wave front (e.g. curvature, etc.), polarization, or wavelength, which has prohibitive cost and efficacy; classification of higher-order spatial modes from a multimode optical fiber does not require a prohibitive amount of experimentally generated training examples, which, in turn, has prohibitive efficacy; and the light beam from a multimode optical fiber can be advantageously separated into two orthogonal polarization components, such that, the different linear combination of higher order spatial modes comprising each polarization component can be classified.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting traffic scenarios include an image capturing device which captures two or more images of an area of a traffic environment with each image having a different view of vehicles and a road in the traffic environment. A hierarchical feature extractor concurrently extracts features at multiple neural network layers from each of the images, with the features including geometric features and semantic features, and for estimating correspondences between semantic features for each of the images and refining the estimated correspondences with correspondences between the geometric features of each of the images to generate refined correspondence estimates. A traffic localization module uses the refined correspondence estimates to determine locations of vehicles in the environment in three dimensions to automatically determine a traffic scenario according to the locations of vehicles. A notification device generates a notification of the traffic scenario.

Abstract: A system is provided for interpretable viewing interest. A transformer with multi-head self-attention derives different hierarchical orders of input features. Hierarchical attention layers (i) aggregate the different hierarchical orders to obtain aggregated single-order feature representations and (iii) derive aggregation attention weights for the different hierarchical orders based on an applied order of the hierarchical attention layers. An attentional scoring layer evaluates the aggregated representations to output a significance of each order with respect to various CTR predictions. A hierarchical interpretation layer determines a respective importance of each input feature in various combinations from which the various CTR predictions are derived based on the aggregation attention weights and the significance of each order. A display device displays each of the various combinations for the various CTR predictions along with the respective importance of each of the constituent one of the input features in the various input feature combinations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting adversarial examples are provided. The method includes generating encoder direct output by projecting, via an encoder, input data items to a low-dimensional embedding vector of reduced dimensionality with respect to the one or more input data items to form a low-dimensional embedding space. The method includes regularizing the low-dimensional embedding space via a training procedure such that the input data items produce embedding space vectors whose global distribution is expected to follow a simple prior distribution. The method also includes identifying whether each of the input data items is an adversarial or unnatural input. The method further includes classifying, during the training procedure, those input data items which have not been identified as adversarial or unnatural into one of multiple classes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for data reduction including organizing data of an event stream into a file access table concurrently with receiving the event stream, the data including independent features and dependent features. A frequent pattern tree (FP-Tree) is built including nodes corresponding to the dependent features according to a frequency of occurrence of the dependent features relative to the independent features. Each single path in the FP-Tree is merged into a special node corresponding to segments of dependent features to produce a reduced FP-Tree. All path combinations in the reduced FP-Tree are identified. A compressible file access template (CFAT) is generated corresponding to each of the path combinations. The data of the event stream is compressed with the CFATs to reduce the dependent features to special events representing the dependent features.

Abstract: Systems and methods for correspondence estimation and flexible ground modeling include communicating two-dimensional (2D) images of an environment to a correspondence estimation module, including a first image and a second image captured by an image capturing device. First features, including geometric features and semantic features, are hierarchically extract from the first image with a first convolutional neural network (CNN) according to activation map weights, and second features, including geometric features and semantic features, are hierarchically extracted from the second image with a second CNN according to the activation map weights. Correspondences between the first features and the second features are estimated, including hierarchical fusing of geometric correspondences and semantic correspondences. A 3-dimensional (3D) model of a terrain is estimated using the estimated correspondences belonging to the terrain surface. Relative locations of elements and objects in the environment are determined according to the 3D model of the terrain. A user is notified of the relative locations.
