Abstract

Described are systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program product embodiments for automatically processing intent-based spoken language for SLU. The disclosed solution uses a scale-free network structured conversational knowledge graph that stores nodes representative of actions, objects, and intent names and edges representative of relationships between the nodes. For all phrases (including a sentence) from the same intent, the system calculates a mean feature vector using a Universal Sentence Embedding (USE) model as a feature element. The system also employs a multi-step intent detection strategy. A graph query technique may be used to match all potential intent nodes from the trained knowledge graph. The system may compute a covariance matrix between the feature element of an input phrase and feature elements of all potential intents. The major component of the covariance matrix along with the maximum covariance may be used to determine the final intent.

Abstract

Provided herein is a risk framework tool for a distributed ledger-based computing system (i.e., biockchain) that can present a common risk framework to a user that can then allow for the user to determine what risks are important for it to manage. The risk framework can then take those specified risks and convert them in to a plurality of tests that can be used to validate the organization's biockchain system. In one or more examples, the risk framework can provide a graphical user interface to user that allows them specify the risks they wish to manage within the biockchain computing system, and based on the user's inputs, can determine one or more continuous real-time validation tests to be performed on the biockchain computing system so as to characterize the risk specified by user using the risk framework.

Abstract

Provided herein is a system and method for implementing a real-time and continuous validation tool for a distributed ledger-based computing system (i.e., blockchain). In one or more examples a. real-time validation tool and system can continuously monitor a blockchain computing system for activities that indicate abnormal or risky behavior, and can generate a report to a user that details those events. The real-time validation tool can be implemented as a node in a blockchain computing system and can use information gleaned from blockchain activity occurring in real-time as well as external data gathered from various sources to determine if one or more events has occurred that is indicative of abnormal or risky activity occurring within the blockchain computing system. The validation tool can be used to improve and secure an existing blockchain computing system against cyber intrusions and various integrity issues.
