Abstract
Root cause determination for software failures that occurred due to intentional or unintentional third party activities is a difficult and challenging task. In this paper, we propose a new technique for identifying the root causes of system failures stemming from external interventions that is based first, on modeling the conditions by which a system delivers its functionality utilizing goal models, second on modeling the conditions by which system functionality can be compromised utilizing anti-goal models, third representing logged data as well as, goal and anti-goal models as rules and facts in a knowledge base and fourth, utilizing a probabilistic reasoning technique that is based on the use of Markov Logic Networks. The technique is evaluated in a medium size COTS based system and the DARPA 2000 Intrusion Detection data set.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
