MONITORING USER STATUS BY COMPARING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ACTIVITIES

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for detecting anomalous correlations between public and private activities of a user. During operation, the system collects public and private activity data associated with the user. The system generates a series of feature pairs, each feature pair including a public feature vector and a private feature vector generated from the activity data. Each respective feature pair corresponds to a respective point in time. The system generates a model to determine whether there is an anomaly in a correlation between the user's public and private activity data. The model is associated with a normal correlation between the user's public and private activity data over a period of time. The system collects additional public and private activity data and applies the model to determine whether there is an anomaly. The system may issue an alert in response to detecting an anomaly.
