A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001515B2) outlines a method and system for machine learning model training and classification of computing devices. The method involves receiving a set of un-labeled feature vectors, translating them using a T-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) process to reduce dimensionality, clustering the vectors, and identifying optimal clusters through convex optimization. Representative vectors are selected from these clusters for labeling, creating a set of labeled feature vectors based on received labels, and training a machine learning model for multi-class classification. The model is then executed to classify computing devices based on the initial set of feature vectors.

The patent also details the system components, including processing circuitry and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the method. The system follows a similar process of receiving, translating, clustering, identifying optimal clusters, selecting representative vectors, labeling, training the model, and executing it for classification. Notably, the method involves selecting boundary condition feature vectors for labeling by an oracle based on prediction skepticism scores, enhancing the accuracy of the classification process. The system is designed to handle a variety of computing devices, particularly emphasizing network security applications, and can process feature vectors containing Gaussian noise data. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to machine learning model training and classification, particularly suited for multi-class classification tasks in the realm of computing devices.
