Can AI Remediate Backend Failures Safely? GuardedAct with Blast-Radius-Aware Sandboxing

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promising capabilities in generating remediation actions for microservice failures. However, directly executing AI-generated repair actions in production risks cascading collateral damage. We propose GuardedAct, a sandbox-first remediation framework that interposes a blast-radius-aware verification layer between the LLM action generator and the production environment. GuardedAct operates in four phases: (1) ingesting a diagnosis report together with the live system topology and recent telemetry, (2) prompting an LLM to produce a ranked list of candidate remediation actions, (3) simulating each action in a lightweight digital-twin sandbox that estimates the blast radius and assigns a risk label, and (4) enforcing a rollback-confidence gate that auto-executes only low-risk actions while escalating high-risk ones for human review. We evaluate GuardedAct on five fault scenarios injected into the DeathStarBench social-network application. Experimental results show that GuardedAct achieves an overall recovery rate of 87.4% while reducing collateral damage by 79.7% relative to direct LLM execution (from 25.6% to 5.2%), at the cost of a modest sandbox-induced increase in mean time to recovery (approximately 8 s). Ablation studies confirm that each component contributes meaningfully to the safety-speed trade-off.

SLO-Scaler: Uncertainty-Aware SLO-Driven Autoscaling for Microservices

Autoscaling microservice-based applications to satisfy Service Level Objectives (SLOs) remains challenging due to bursty workloads, cascading latency across service dependencies, and cold-start overhead. Existing approaches such as the Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) rely on threshold-based CPU or memory metrics, which react too slowly to traffic spikes. Recent predictive methods improve responsiveness but generate point forecasts that ignore prediction uncertainty, leading to over-provisioning or oscillatory scaling. We propose SLO-Scaler, an uncertainty-aware autoscaling framework that predicts short-horizon request rates, tail latency, and SLO violation probability using a Bayesian LSTM model. SLO-Scaler integrates confidence-interval-based scaling decisions with a dependency graph analysis module that localizes bottleneck services, avoiding unnecessary whole-chain scaling. We evaluate SLO-Scaler on the DeathStarBench Social Network benchmark deployed on Kubernetes under periodic, bursty, and long-tail traffic patterns. Under bursty traffic, SLO-Scaler reduces the SLO violation rate by 29-56%, lowers the average replica count by 18-33%, and decreases scaling event frequency by 38-59% compared with the baselines, while achieving lower tail latency.

Joint Temporal-Structural Representation Learning for Distributed Fault Discrimination in Microservice Architectures

Addressing the diverse fault morphologies, complex dependencies, and time-varying operational states in microservice distributed systems, this paper proposes a distributed fault discrimination model based on temporal graph neural networks. This model characterizes the microservice operation process as a dynamic graph sequence evolving, and performs joint representation learning of temporal modeling and structural interactions within a unified framework. First, service-level multi-source observation signals are aligned and characterized to construct node feature sequences and their corresponding time-dependent dependencies. Then, a temporal coding module is introduced to extract the dynamic evolution representation of service states, and at each time step, attention-based structured message passing is used to characterize dependency interactions and propagation associations, forming a structure-enhanced temporal node representation. Furthermore, a dual readout mechanism is employed to aggregate the node and temporal dimensions, obtaining a system-level global representation and outputting the fault category distribution. Finally, supervised learning objectives are used to optimize model parameters, enabling the model to learn stable discrimination evidence under complex interactions and multi-source noise conditions. Comparative experimental results show that the proposed method achieves superior performance on multiple evaluation metrics, validating the effectiveness of jointly modeling temporal evolution and dependency structures in improving the distributed fault discrimination capability of microservices.

Contrastive Learning-Based Dependency Modeling for Anomaly Detection in Cloud Services

This paper addresses the challenges of complex dependencies and diverse anomaly patterns in cloud service environments by proposing a dependency modeling and anomaly detection method that integrates contrastive learning. The method abstracts service interactions into a dependency graph, extracts temporal and structural features through embedding functions, and employs a graph convolution mechanism to aggregate neighborhood information for context-aware service representations. A contrastive learning framework is then introduced, constructing positive and negative sample pairs to enhance the separability of normal and abnormal patterns in the representation space. Furthermore, a temporal consistency constraint is designed to maintain representation stability across time steps and reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations and noise. The overall optimization combines contrastive loss and temporal consistency loss to ensure stable and reliable detection across multi-dimensional features. Experiments on public datasets systematically evaluate the method from hyperparameter, environmental, and data sensitivity perspectives. Results show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms existing methods on key metrics such as Precision, Recall, F1-Score, and AUC, while maintaining robustness under conditions of sparse labeling, monitoring noise, and traffic fluctuations. This study verifies the effectiveness of integrating dependency modeling with contrastive learning, provides a complete technical solution for cloud service anomaly detection, and demonstrates strong adaptability and stability in complex environments.

Integrating Structure-Aware Attention and Knowledge Graphs in Explainable Recommendation Systems

This paper designs and implements an explainable recommendation model that integrates knowledge graphs with structure-aware attention mechanisms. The model is built on graph neural networks and incorporates a multi-hop neighbor aggregation strategy. By integrating the structural information of knowledge graphs and dynamically assigning importance to different neighbors through an attention mechanism, the model enhances its ability to capture implicit preference relationships. In the proposed method, users and items are embedded into a unified graph structure. Multi-level semantic paths are constructed based on entities and relations in the knowledge graph to extract richer contextual information. During the rating prediction phase, recommendations are generated through the interaction between user and target item representations. The model is optimized using a binary cross-entropy loss function. Experiments conducted on the Amazon Books dataset validate the superior performance of the proposed model across various evaluation metrics. The model also shows good convergence and stability. These results further demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of structure-aware attention mechanisms in knowledge graph-enhanced recommendation.

In this paper, an operating system scheduling algorithm based on Double DQN (Double Deep Q network) is proposed, and its performance under different task types and system loads is verified by experiments. Compared with the traditional scheduling algorithm, the algorithm based on Double DQN can dynamically adjust the task priority and resource allocation strategy, thus improving the task completion efficiency, system throughput, and response speed. The experimental results show that the Double DQN algorithm has high scheduling performance under light load, medium load and heavy load scenarios, especially when dealing with I/O intensive tasks, and can effectively reduce task completion time and system response time. In addition, the algorithm also shows high optimization ability in resource utilization and can intelligently adjust resource allocation according to the system state, avoiding resource waste and excessive load. Future studies will further explore the application of the algorithm in more complex systems, especially scheduling optimization in cloud computing and large-scale distributed environments, combining factors such as network latency and energy efficiency to improve the overall performance and adaptability of the algorithm.

Unsupervised Detection of Fraudulent Transactions in E-commerce Using Contrastive Learning

With the rapid development of e-commerce, e-commerce platforms are facing an increasing number of fraud threats. Effectively identifying and preventing these fraudulent activities has become a critical research problem. Traditional fraud detection methods typically rely on supervised learning, which requires large amounts of labeled data. However, such data is often difficult to obtain, and the continuous evolution of fraudulent activities further reduces the adaptability and effectiveness of traditional methods. To address this issue, this study proposes an unsupervised e-commerce fraud detection algorithm based on SimCLR. The algorithm leverages the contrastive learning framework to effectively detect fraud by learning the underlying representations of transaction data in an unlabeled setting. Experimental results on the eBay platform dataset show that the proposed algorithm outperforms traditional unsupervised methods such as K-means, Isolation Forest, and Autoencoders in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, demonstrating strong fraud detection capabilities. The results confirm that the SimCLR-based unsupervised fraud detection method has broad application prospects in e-commerce platform security, improving both detection accuracy and robustness. In the future, with the increasing scale and diversity of datasets, the model's performance will continue to improve, and it could be integrated with real-time monitoring systems to provide more efficient security for e-commerce platforms.

Graph Neural Network-Driven Hierarchical Mining for Complex Imbalanced Data

This study presents a hierarchical mining framework for high-dimensional imbalanced data, leveraging a depth graph model to address the inherent performance limitations of conventional approaches in handling complex, high-dimensional data distributions with imbalanced sample representations. By constructing a structured graph representation of the dataset and integrating graph neural network (GNN) embeddings, the proposed method effectively captures global interdependencies among samples. Furthermore, a hierarchical strategy is employed to enhance the characterization and extraction of minority class feature patterns, thereby facilitating precise and robust imbalanced data mining. Empirical evaluations across multiple experimental scenarios validate the efficacy of the proposed approach, demonstrating substantial improvements over traditional methods in key performance metrics, including pattern discovery count, average support, and minority class coverage. Notably, the method exhibits superior capabilities in minority-class feature extraction and pattern correlation analysis. These findings underscore the potential of depth graph models, in conjunction with hierarchical mining strategies, to significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of imbalanced data analysis. This research contributes a novel computational framework for high-dimensional complex data processing and lays the foundation for future extensions to dynamically evolving imbalanced data and multi-modal data applications, thereby expanding the applicability of advanced data mining methodologies to more intricate analytical domains.

A Matrix Logic Approach to Efficient Frequent Itemset Discovery in Large Data Sets

This paper proposes a frequent itemset mining algorithm based on the Boolean matrix method, aiming to solve the storage and computational bottlenecks of traditional frequent pattern mining algorithms in high-dimensional and large-scale transaction databases. By representing the itemsets in the transaction database as Boolean matrices, the algorithm uses Boolean logic operations such as AND and OR to efficiently calculate the support of the itemsets, avoiding the generation and storage of a large number of candidates itemsets in traditional algorithms. The algorithm recursively mines frequent itemsets through matrix operations and can flexibly adapt to different data scales and support thresholds. In the experiment, the public Groceries dataset was selected, and the running efficiency test and frequent itemset mining effect test were designed to evaluate the algorithm's performance indicators such as running time, memory usage, and number of frequent itemsets under different transaction numbers and support thresholds. The experimental results show that the algorithm can efficiently mine a large number of frequent itemsets when the support threshold is low, and focus on strong association rules with high support when the threshold is high. In addition, the changing trends of running time and memory usage show that the Boolean matrix method can still maintain good running efficiency when the number of transactions increases significantly and has high scalability and robustness. Future research can improve memory optimization and matrix block operations, and combine distributed computing and deep learning models to further enhance the algorithm's applicability and real-time processing capabilities in ultra-large-scale data environments. The algorithm has broad application potential and development prospects in the fields of market analysis, recommendation systems, and network security.

AI-Driven Health Monitoring of Distributed Computing Architecture: Insights from XGBoost and SHAP

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, its application in the optimization of complex computer systems is becoming more and more extensive. Edge computing is an efficient distributed computing architecture, and the health status of its nodes directly affects the performance and reliability of the entire system. In view of the lack of accuracy and interpretability of traditional methods in node health status judgment, this paper proposes a health status judgment method based on XGBoost and combines the SHAP method to analyze the interpretability of the model. Through experiments, it is verified that XGBoost has superior performance in processing complex features and nonlinear data of edge computing nodes, especially in capturing the impact of key features (such as response time and power consumption) on node status. SHAP value analysis further reveals the global and local importance of features, so that the model not only has high precision discrimination ability but also can provide intuitive explanations, providing data support for system optimization. Research shows that the combination of AI technology and computer system optimization can not only realize the intelligent monitoring of the health status of edge computing nodes but also provide a scientific basis for dynamic optimization scheduling, resource management and anomaly detection. In the future, with the in-depth development of AI technology, model dynamics, cross-node collaborative optimization and multimodal data fusion will become the focus of research, providing important support for the intelligent evolution of edge computing systems.
