Title: Generating a topic-based summary of textual content
Inventor: KUNDAN KRISHNA
IPC: G06F16/34
Filed: 2019-02-04
Abstract: A method for generating a summary of textual content tuned to a specific topic involves using a topic-aware encoding model to encode 804 the text using a topic label (e.g. a one-hot vector) to generate topic-aware encoded text. A word generation model selects a next word 808 for the summary from the encoded text. The word generation model is trained using machine learning and training data including documents with corresponding summaries, each having an associated topic. The selected next word is provided as feedback 810 to the word generation model. Also disclosed is a method for training the encoding word generation models by obtaining an intermediate dataset comprising documents, and a summary of each document with an associated topic. Training data is generated by merging the text of first and second documents to make a new document which is associated with the summary and topic of the first document, merging their text again and associating the resulting new document with the summary and topic of the second document. The original documents are discarded. This process is repeated until the intermediate training set is exhausted. The training data is then used to train the encoding and word generation models.

IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2019-03-27
Abstract: A security method for a host computer system in communication with remote computer systems comprising: generating an attack map 240 as a graph data structure modelling events leading to exploitation of the host computer system. The attack map is generated in a training phase in which the host is subjected to attacks. Generating the attack map includes the steps of: a) collecting a log of each attack events occurring at the host; b) using stacked autoencoders to extract features from the log event in each attack; c) generating a graph based on: the extracted features based on a temporal relationship between events; a predefined definition of each of a plurality of attack patterns defining events, and temporal relationships between events. Determining a subset of nodes in the attack map corresponding to events in attacks such that each of the predetermined attack patterns involves at least one of the nodes in the subset; determining a component of the host computer system involved in each event; and deploying one or more security facilities at each of the determined components of the host computer system to mitigate attacks.

Title: Methods and devices for public key management using a blockchain
Inventor: CRAIG STEVEN WRIGHT
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2019-05-10
Abstract: A blockchain network providing registration, storage, revocation and updating of digital certificates. A public key may be recorded on the blockchain by a certificate authority (CA) in such a manner that any third party may quickly and easily verify that the public key is certified by the CA and that the certificate has not been revoked. The CA may be able to revoke the certificate nearly instantaneously by removing it from an unspent transaction pool of transaction records in the blockchain and/or may be able to simultaneously certify a new key for the same entity while revoking the old key. A certificate may be revoked by the owner of the public key or one/group of other entities. The certificate is stored and propagated in the blockchain network as a certification transaction with a digital signature from the CA, a first output to an address controlled by the CA and a second output containing the first entity’s public key. The digital certificate itself contains the first entity’s public key and a certification transaction identifier, which is a hash of the certification transaction. Figure 3 also shows a corresponding certificate verification procedure using the certificate stored in the blockchain.

IPC: H04N7/14
Filed: 2019-06-03
Abstract: A communications system in which a first end-point 130 obtains spatial data defining a first subset of spatial features at a first geographic location 200, and a second end-point 100 provides spatial data defining a model of a second subset of spatial features at the first geographic location. A controller selects model data and interaction data corresponding to the second subset of spatial features, and identifies, based on the selected model data and the interaction data, a third subset of spatial features represented in the second subset of spatial features and the first subset of spatial features. Real-time data defining the third subset of spatial features is communicated to the second end-point via a low-latency communications link 150. The second endpoint obtains additional data via a high latency communications link 140.

Title: A method for generating an alarm signal for a driver of a motor vehicle by an assistance system
Inventor: KAVITA SANEY
IPC: G08G1/0967
Filed: 2021-02-01
Abstract: While a motor vehicle 10 is stopped at a traffic light 24, on-board camera 16 detects a viewing direction 22 of its driver 20 and assistance system 12 detects a traffic light changing signal 26. Depending on the detected viewing direction (e.g. if the driver’s gaze is diverted from the road or traffic light) and a predetermined time period before the light changes in the traffic light, an alarm signal is generated by an electronic computing device 14 of the assistance system. The traffic light changing signal may be transmitted to the assistance system by the traffic light or by a traffic guidance system. Alternatively, it may be detected by a front camera 30 of the assistance system, which may also detect a red-light countdown of the traffic light. The alarm signal may be haptic – e.g. vibration of the vehicle’s steering wheel 32 or seat. A distracted driver may thus be warned that the traffic light is about to change to green.
