Abstract

An adaptive machine learning system for predicting file controls includes a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory stores a plurality of controls for incoming files and the interface receives a first file and a second file. The first file has a first property and the second file has a second property. The processor determines a type for each of the first property and the second property, wherein the type of each property is related to a first file control. The processor also determines that the first property and the second property each satisfy the first file control. If the value of the first property and the second property are above a first threshold, the processor changes a value of the first control for incoming files.

Claims

1. An adaptive machine learning system for predicting file controls comprising:

a memory operable to store a plurality of controls for incoming files;

an interface operable to receive a first file and a second file; and

a processor operable to;

determine a first file size of the first file;

determine that the first file size exceeds a file size restriction of the plurality of controls;

in response to determining that the first file size exceeds the file size restriction, reject the first file;

determine a second file size of the second file;

determine that the second file size does not exceed the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the second file size does not exceed the file size restriction, store the second file in the memory;

determine that the second file size is within a threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

determine that a number of previously received files are also within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the second file size is within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction, increment the number;

determine that the incremented number exceeds a threshold of received files within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the incremented number exceeds a threshold of received files within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction, increase the file size restriction;

receive the first file subsequent to increasing the file size restriction;

determine that the file size of the subsequently received first file does not need exceed the increased file size restriction; and

in response to determining that the file size of the subsequently received first file does not exceed the increased file size restriction, store the first file in the memory.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein rejecting the first file comprises terminating a transmission of the first file.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the threshold percentage is 80%.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the second file is stored in one or more caches.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further operable to terminate transmission of a requested, outbound third file if a file size of the third file exceeds the increased file size restriction.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of controls comprise a data volume restriction for incoming files.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the processor is further operable to increase the data volume restriction in response to receiving a third file that includes a number of entries that is within a threshold value of the data volume restriction.

8. A method for adaptive machine learning for predicting file controls comprising:

electronically receiving a first file and a second file;

determining a first file size of the first file;

determining that the first file size exceeds a file size restriction;

in response to determining that the first file size exceeds the file size restriction, rejecting the first file;

determining a second file size of the second file;

determining that the second file size does not exceed the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the second file size does not exceed the file size restriction, storing the second file in the memory;

determining that the second file size is within a threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

determining that a number of previously received files are also within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the second file size is within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction, incrementing the number;

determining that the incremented number exceeds a threshold of received files within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the incremented number exceeds a threshold of received files within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction, increasing the file size restriction;

receiving the first file subsequent to increasing the file size restriction;

determining that the file size of the subsequently received first file does not need exceed the increased file size restriction; and

in response to determining that the file size of the subsequently received first file does not exceed the increased file size restriction, storing the first file in the memory.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein rejecting the first file comprises terminating a transmission of the first file.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the threshold percentage is 80%.

11. The method of claim 8, further comprising terminating transmission of a requested, outbound third file if a file size of the third file exceeds the increased file size.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the second file is stored in one or more caches.

13. The method of claim 8, further comprising increasing a data volume restriction in response to receiving a third file that includes a number of entries that is within a threshold value of the data volume restriction.

14. An adaptive machine learning system for predicting file controls comprising:

a memory operable to store a plurality of size restrictions for incoming files, wherein at least one size restriction relates to an amount of memory space occupied by a corresponding incoming file;

an interface operable to receive a first file and a second file; and

a processor operable to;

determine a first file size of the first file;

determine that the first file size exceeds a file size restriction of the plurality of controls;

in response to determining that the first file size exceeds the file size restriction, reject the first file;

determine a second file size of the second file;

determine that the second file size does not exceed the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the second file size does not exceed the file size restriction, store the second file in the memory;

determine that the second file size is within a threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

determine that a number of previously received files are also within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the second file size is within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction, increment the number;

determine that the incremented number exceeds a threshold of received files within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction;

in response to determining that the incremented number exceeds a threshold of received files within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction, increase the file size restriction;

receive the first file subsequent to increasing the file size restriction; and

in response to determining that the file size of the subsequently received first file does not exceed the increased file size restriction, store the first file in the memory.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein rejecting the first file comprises terminating a transmission of the first file.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the threshold percentage is 80%.

17. The system of claim 14, wherein increasing the file size restriction is further done in response to a determination that one or more previously received files had file sizes that were within the threshold percentage of the file size restriction.

18. The system of claim 14, wherein the processor is further operable to terminate transmission of a requested, outbound third file if a file size of the third file exceeds the increased file size restriction.

19. The system of claim 14, wherein the processor is further operable to increase a data volume restriction in response to receiving a third file that includes a number of entries that is within a threshold value of the data volume restriction.
