Systems, methods, and computer program products for obfuscating search queries are described herein. A method comprises reading an input query; reading a set of known terms organized into hierarchical classes; determining whether the input query is included in the set of known terms; determining one or more classifications for the input query in accordance with its inclusion in the set of known terms; generating a prompt in accordance with the one or more classifications and the input query; providing the prompt to a generative language model as input; receiving, from the generative language model, a plurality of candidate queries in accordance with the prompt; determining a score for the plurality of candidate queries; and generating a plurality of decoy queries based on the plurality of candidate queries and the score.

An apparatus for automating inventory procedures for items stored on shelves in a closed environment includes a mobile mechanical device having a movable appendage including a camera and additional sensory modalities. The camera and additional sensory modalities are used to position the movable appendage to take camera images of the items on the shelves from many different perspectives. Camera vision and the additional sensory modalities can be used to rotate, lower and raise movable appendage to position the appendage over and along the sides of the items on the shelf. The context of the mobile mechanical device is determined and edge AI computing retrieves AI context specific models based on the context. The AI context specific models may be downloaded from a cloud service. The edge AI computing uses the AI context specific models to identify and count the items on the shelf.

Mechanisms are provided for customizing an avatar in a virtual environment. A user that is interacting with the virtual environment, and to whom the avatar is to be rendered in the virtual environment, is identified and classified with regard to a plurality of affinity groups specifying levels of affinity between the first user and an operator of the avatar. A user security and privacy policy (USPP) data structure, associated with the operator, is retrieved that specifying security and privacy policies for each affinity group in the plurality of affinity groups. Based on the user classification and the security and privacy policy, an anonymization operation is applied to static and/or dynamic characteristics data for the operator which are used to render the avatar, to thereby generate anonymized characteristic data. The anonymized characteristic data is output for rendering the avatar in the virtual environment.

Personalized avatars with custom levels of privacy

A computer-implemented method of determining an agent data attribution and selection to perform a collaborative data-related task includes computing an agent data attribution score for each agent of the plurality of agents associated with the collaborative data-related task. A subset of the plurality of agents that participate in the collaborative data-related task is selected based on the agent data attribution score. An instruction is transmitted to the selected subset of the plurality of agents for each agent to conduct a respective portion of the collaborative data-related task.

Private computation of an agent data attribution score in collaborated task

A method for targeted advertisement includes transmitting a pre-filter to the user device, responsive to contextual information from a user device, to determine, using a processor, one or more inferences based on physical browsing information, collected at the user device, in compliance with one or more privacy policies of the user. The method also includes receiving one or more inferences determined by the pre-filter from the user device and transmitting one or more targeted advertisements to the user device based on one or more inferences.

Recommendations based on private data using a dynamically deployed pre-filter

The present inventive concept provides for a method of unmanned machine synchronization using robotic sensing. The method includes generating at least one physical signal in the vicinity of at least one unmanned machine. The at least one generated physical signal is received by the at least one unmanned machine. At least one task is performed by the at least one unmanned machine based on the at least one received generated physical signal.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product is provided for establishing a dynamically adaptive network firewall. A firewall model is established that identifies resources that can be used and a plurality of nodes that connect to one another to form a network. A set of external rules and policies are provided to each resource. The firewall implemented using the firewall model upon receiving of incoming data and upon traffic flow. The firewall expands or contracts the network by adding or removing resources according to work that needs to be performed. The work includes both tasks to be completed and efforts that has to be taken by the firewall to ensure security by preventing unauthorized access into the network.

A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving, from a remote location, a request to generate a unique equipment code identifying a device. Identifying characteristics of the device are determined, and a unique equipment code is generated. The unique equipment code is generated by applying policy based rules summarized in one or more predetermined information dependency graphs while combining at least some of the determined identifying characteristics in a specific order. Moreover, the combined identifying characteristics are converted into a corresponding alphanumeric string. The unique equipment code is assigned to the device and the unique equipment code is also transmitted to the remote location.

Managing distributed devices using unique codes

In an approach to identifying occluded objects, a computer retrieves a first image that includes an object at least partially occluded by one or more occlusions. A computer removes the one or more occlusions from the first image to create a partial object in a second image. A computer runs a detection model with the second image to predict one or more identifications of a symbol represented by the partial object. A computer determines top predictions of the one or more identifications of the symbol by the detection model. A computer identifies at least one geometric property associated with the one or more identifications of the symbol included in the one or more top predictions. A computer applies the at least one geometric property to the partial object. A computer determines a probability of the one or more top predictions correctly identifying the symbol represented by the partial object.

Techniques for determining system performance without ground truth include receiving a trained model and one or more generator models, the trained model having been trained on training data. The trained model is used on testing data to produce labeled testing data, and the labeled testing data are used to train a proxy model. The one or more generator models are used to produce synthetic training data that are representative of the training data. The proxy model is used on the synthetic training data to produce predictions, and performance of the trained model is determined based on the predictions by the proxy model.

Methods and systems for emulating an application include generating a log template to match one or more patterns in a set of application logs collected from an original application. Semantic state representations are learned for the original application from the log template. A classifier is trained to predict a next action template based on a sequence of prior action templates. A regressor is trained to generate a parameter value for a template based on a sequence of prior action templates and a particular semantic state of the original application.

Embodiments related to using a foundational model for network packet traces. A technique includes receiving network traffic of a network and extracting features from the network traffic, the features having a function related to communications in the network. The technique includes generating tokens from the features, each of the features corresponding to a respective one of the tokens, training a machine learning model by inputting the tokens, the machine learning model being trained to output contextual embeddings for the tokens, and using the contextual embeddings to determine an anomaly in the network traffic.
