Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Method For Surreptitiously Generating Signals To Fool A Recurrent Neural Network

View page
US Patent:
20210089891, Mar 25, 2021
Filed:
Jul 23, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/937503
Inventors:
- Malibu CA, US
Christopher Serrano - Whittier CA, US
Pape Sylla - Thousand Oaks CA, US
International Classification:
G06N 3/08
G06N 3/04
G06F 17/18
Abstract:
Described is an attack system for generating perturbations of input signals in a recurrent neural network (RNN) based target system using a deep reinforcement learning agent to generate the perturbations. The attack system trains a reinforcement learning agent to determine a magnitude of a perturbation with which to attack the RNN based target system. A perturbed input sensor signal having the determined magnitude is generated and presented to the RNN based target system such that the RNN based target system produces an altered output in response to the perturbed input sensor signal. The system identifies a failure mode of the RNN based target system using the altered output.

Automatic Generation Of Images Satisfying Specified Neural Network Classifier Properties

View page
US Patent:
20200143200, May 7, 2020
Filed:
Sep 6, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/563172
Inventors:
- Malibu CA, US
Pape Sylla - Thousand Oaks CA, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/62
G06N 3/08
Abstract:
Described is a system for automatically generating images that satisfy specific image properties. Using a code parser component, a tensor expression intermediate representation (IR) of a deep neural network code is produced. A specification describing a set of image properties is parsed in a fixed formal syntax. The tensor expression IR and the specification is input into a rewriting and analysis engine. The rewriting and analysis engine queries an external solver to obtain pixel values satisfying the specification. When pixel values satisfying the specification can be found in a fixed time period, the rewriting and analysis engine combines the pixel values into an image that satisfies the specification and outputs the image.

Systems And Methods For Context-Aware Network Message Filtering

View page
US Patent:
20200067880, Feb 27, 2020
Filed:
Aug 27, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/114160
Inventors:
- Chicago IL, US
Pape M. Sylla - Calabasas CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
Abstract:
In an example, a non-transitory machine-readable medium has instructions, which, when executed by a processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations including: (i) receiving a plurality of network messages transmitted within a communication network, (ii) analyzing the network messages to determine network traffic information, and (iii) determining, based on the network traffic information, a current system context from among a plurality of system contexts. Each system context indicates a respective aggregate status of devices in the communication network. The operations also include (iv) selecting, based on the current system context, a set of filtering rules from among a plurality of sets of filtering rules, (v) applying the selected set of filtering rules to the network messages to determine a subset of network messages that are acceptable for the current system context, and (vi) forwarding each network message of the subset to a destination of the network message.

Firewall Filter Rules Generation

US Patent:
20180054418, Feb 22, 2018
Filed:
Aug 16, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/238661
Inventors:
- Chicago IL, US
Pape M. Sylla - Calabasas CA, US
Assignee:
THE BOEING COMPANY - Chicago IL
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
Abstract:
A method includes obtaining, at a device, packet data descriptive of authorized traffic of a network. The method also includes generating, at the device, rule elements based on the packet data. The method further includes consolidating, at the device, the rule elements based on distance measures associated with the rule elements. The method also includes generating, at the device, firewall filter rules for the network based on the consolidated rule elements.

Mapping Network Service Dependencies

View page
US Patent:
20160373535, Dec 22, 2016
Filed:
Jun 19, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/745262
Inventors:
- Chicago IL, US
Hyun Jin Kim - Calabasas CA, US
Pape Maguette Sylla - Calabasas CA, US
Ryan F. Compton - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 29/08
H04L 12/24
Abstract:
Example methods and systems for mapping network service and/or application dependencies are provided. Some examples may visualize a large, complex network of network services and/or applications (e.g., Internet services and applications) and their dependencies over time. Each service (or application) may be represented as a node and the visualization may present information regarding the relationships among services and/or applications using directed edges (or lines) with varying thickness, colors, and/or line-styles depending on network data.

US Patent:
20160119213, Apr 28, 2016
Filed:
Oct 24, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/523473
Inventors:
- Chicago IL, US
Pape Maguette Sylla - Calabasas CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/26
H04L 29/08
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for discovering service dependencies. A plurality of connections is identified between nodes in a data network. A set of connection pairs is identified based on the plurality of connections identified. A set of time series is created for the set of connection pairs using monitoring data received from a plurality of sensors monitoring the data network. Service dependencies may be discovered using the set of time series.
