Abstract: a second set of data identifiers, comprising identifiers of data usable in federated model training by a second data owner, is received at a first data owner from the second data owner. an intersection set of data identifiers is determined at the first data owner. at the first data owner according to the intersection set of data identifiers, the data usable in federated model training is rearranged by the first data owner to result in a first training dataset. at the first data owner using the intersection set of data identifiers, the first training dataset, and a previous iteration of an aggregated set of model weights, a first partial set of model weights is computed. an updated aggregated set of model weights, comprising the first partial set of model weights and a second partial set of model weights from the second data owner, is received from an aggregator.

Abstract: a computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes establishing, for each hop in pathways of a network, a relation between a desired reliability and channel error. based on the established relations, a maximum number of copies of packets to send from a source in the network to a target in the network is determined. an overhead associated with sending packets from the source to the target in the network is determined for each of the hops, and a first sum of such overheads is also determined. an overhead associated with sending an acknowledgement packet to the source is determined for each of the hops. a second sum is a sum of the overheads associated with sending the acknowledgement packet to the source. in response to a determination that a sum of the first sum and the second sum is less than a predetermined threshold value, the pathways are used.

IPC Code(s): H04L9/40, G06F40/295, G06F40/205



Abstract: a method and system determine network based access to restricted systems. the method includes receiving a request for a permission access status of a party seeking access to one of the restricted systems. a database of periodically updated lists of entities is accessed. a name of the party is extracted from the request. a determination is made whether the name does not match one of the entities. the name is decomposed into parts if the name not matching one of the entities. a determination is made whether any of the parts of the name matches one of the entities. a denial of access status is forwarded from the computer server to an external computing device if any of the parts of the name matches one of the entities.

Abstract: systems, methods and/or computer program products for managing the temperature of datacenter during a period of malfunction or inoperability of the cooling system responsible for maintaining temperatures within the datacenter. temperatures of the datacenter's computing systems are monitored by thermal imaging systems and/or sensors. computing systems are also monitored for how frequently the systems are accessed during a defined period of time and the number of mission critical deployments by each computing system. collected parameters, including temperature, frequency of access and number of running mission critical applications are imputed into a scoring algorithm which uses the collected parameters and weightings to generate a ranking of computing systems to shutdown sequentially in response to rising temperatures. as temperatures rise above a target temperature, computing systems with the highest score (and the lowest amount of risk) are shutdown, lowering the temperature of the datacenter until the cooling system becomes operation again.
