Abstract
Abstract A system and method for adaptively managing the behavior of, for example, a digital data processing system, using inductive learning techniques. The new system includes a data acquistion portion that acquires event data in response to selected events. An inductive engine generates profile knowledge in response to acquired event data during a learning phase, for storage in a profile knowledge store. A profile comparator, during an operational phase, subsequent to the learning phase, performs a verification operation in connection with comparing event data to said profile knowledge stored in said profile knowledge store. A control portion enables event data acquired by said data acquisition portion to be directed to the inductive engine during a learning phase and to the profile comparator during an operational phase to thereby permit the comparator to perform a verification operation in connection with said event data acquired during the operational phase.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A computer system comprising: A. a data acquisition portion for acquiring event data in response to selected events; B. an inductive engine for generating profile knowledge in response to event data received by said inductive engine; C. a profile knowledge store for storing profile knowledge generated by said inductive engine; D. a profile comparator for performing a verification operation in connection with comparing event data to said profile knowledge stored in said profile knowledge store; and E. a control portion for enabling event data acquired by said data acquisition portion to be directed to said inductive engine during a learning phase and to said profile comparator during an operational phase to thereby permit the comparator to perform a verification operation in connection with said event data acquired during said operational phase.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
A system as defined in claim 1 wherein said data acquisition portion divides acquired event data into a plurality of classes, said control portion enabling said inductive engine to separately generate profile knowledge in connection with event data in each class, and to enable said profile comparator to separately perform said verification operation in connection with event data and profile knowledge in each class.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
78 words
A system as defined in claim 1 in which a result of a verification operation is a verification failure, said profile knowledge store including a verification knowledge store for storing verification knowledge and said system further comprising a verification portion that performs a verification confirmation operation in connection with event data and the verification knowledge contained in said verification knowledge store, said control portion enabling said verification portion in response to a verification failure to confirm the result.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A system as defined in claim 3 wherein said verification portion further generates profile knowledge for storage in said profile knowledge store for use during a subsequent verification operation.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim

Dependent Claim
96 words
A computer implemented method comprising the steps of: A. acquiring, during a learning phase, training event data in response to selected events; B. enabling, during said learning phase, an inductive engine to receive acquired training event data and generating in response thereto profile knowledge; C. maintaining profile knowledge generated by said inductive engine for use during a later operational phase; D. acquiring, during an operational phase, operational event data in response to selected events E. using the profile knowledge and said operational event data to perform a verification operation in connection with said operational event data.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
96 words
A computer implemented method comprising the steps of: A. acquiring, during a learning phase, training event data in response to selected events; B. enabling, during said learning phase, an inductive engine to receive acquired training event data and generating in response thereto profile knowledge; C. maintaining profile knowledge generated by said inductive engine for use during a later operational phase; D. acquiring, during an operational phase, operational event data in response to selected events E. using the profile knowledge and said operational event data to perform a verification operation in connection with said operational event data.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
68 words
A method as defined in claim 6 in which one result of a verification operation is a verification failure, said profile knowledge store including a verification knowledge store for storing verification knowledge, said method further comprising the step of a verification confirmation operation in connection with event data and the verification knowledge contained in said verification knowledge store in response to a verification failure to confirm the result.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
