Patent Document ID: 7690037
Application ID: 11181221

Base Claim:
1. A method of generating a corpus for training a computerized security system, the security system for monitoring a data center to detect anomalous activity, comprising: collecting by a processor a corpus containing data describing data center activities; generating clusters from the corpus, each cluster containing data describing data center activities having like features and containing a number of members corresponding to a number of occurrences of the data center activities having like features in the corpus, wherein the clusters are based on one or more features selected from the set consisting of: a source of the data; a date or time of the data; a structure of the data; content of the data; and an output produced by the data center responsive to the data; identifying clusters possibly representing anomalous activities, wherein identifying the clusters comprises: ranking the clusters by number of members in the clusters; and applying a threshold to the ranked clusters, the threshold distinguishing between clusters possibly representing anomalous activities and clusters likely to represent legitimate activities; removing the data contained in the clusters possibly representing anomalous activities from the corpus; and transforming the corpus from which the data contained in the clusters possibly representing anomalous activities were removed into training data for the security system, the training data including a set of query templates to classify incoming queries, wherein the incoming queries are compared with the set of query templates in the security system.

Claim 2:
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the clusters further comprises: examining the clusters possibly representing anomalous activities to determine whether the clusters actually represent anomalous activities; wherein the data contained in the clusters actually representing anomalous activities are removed from the corpus.
