Abstract
Described herein is a system transmits and combines local models, that individually include a set of local parameters computed via stochastic gradient descent (SGD), into a global model that includes a set of global model parameters. The local models are computed in parallel at different geographic locations (e.g., different instances of computing infrastructure) along with symbolic representations. Network transmission of the local models and the symbolic representations, rather than transmission of the large training data subsets processed to compute the local models and symbolic representations, conserves resources and decreases latency. The global model can then be used as a model to determine a likelihood that at least a portion of current and/or recently received data traffic is illegitimate data traffic that is associated with a cyber attack. In some instances, the system can implement a remedial action to mitigate the effects of the cyber attack on computing infrastructure.
