Abstract: The techniques herein include using an input context to determine a suggested action. One or more explanations may also be determined and returned along with the suggested action. The one or more explanations may include (i) one or more most similar cases to the suggested case (e.g., the case associated with the suggested action) and, optionally, a conviction score for each nearby cases; (ii) action probabilities, (iii) excluding cases and distances, (iv) archetype and/or counterfactual cases for the suggested action; (v) feature residuals; (vi) regional model complexity; (vii) fractional dimensionality; (viii) prediction conviction; (ix) feature prediction contribution; and/or other measures such as the ones discussed herein, including certainty. In some embodiments, the explanation data may be used to determine whether to perform a suggested action.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for creating well-balanced computer-based reasoning systems and using those to control systems. The techniques include receiving a request to determine whether to use one or more particular data elements, features, cases, etc. in a computer-based reasoning model (e.g., as data elements, cases or features are being added, or as part of pruning existing features or cases). Conviction measures are determined and inclusivity conditions are tested. The result of comparing the conviction measure can be used to determine whether to include or exclude the feature, case, etc. in the model and/or whether there are anomalies in the model. A controllable system may then be controlled using the computer-based reasoning model.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for determining labels associated with first and second candidate code and whether those labels are compatible. When the first candidate code and the second candidate code are compatible, third candidate code based is determined on the those two. When the third candidate code meets exit criteria the third candidate code is provided as evolved code. Some embodiments also include causing execution of the evolved code.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for operational situation vehicle control, and include determining action and context data for one or more vehicle operations in one or more operational situations, training vehicle control rules for those operational situations, and using those vehicle control rules to control vehicles in compatible operational situations.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for imputation in computer-based reasoning systems. The techniques include performing the following until there are no more cases in a computer-based reasoning model with missing fields for which imputation is desired: determining which cases have fields to impute (e.g., missing fields) in the computer-based reasoning model and determining conviction scores and/or imputation order information for the cases that have fields to impute. The techniques proceed by determining for which cases to impute data and, for each of the determined one or more cases with missing fields to impute data is imputed for the missing field, and the case is modified with the imputed data. Control of a system is then caused using the updated computer-based reasoning model.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting and correcting anomalies in computer-based reasoning systems are provided herein. The techniques can include obtaining current context data and determining a contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and a reasoning model. The reasoning model may have been determined based on one or more sets of training data. The techniques may cause performance of the contextually-determined action and, potentially, receiving an indication that performing the contextually-determined action in the current context resulted in an anomaly. The techniques include determining a portion of the reasoning model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and causing removal of the portion of the model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action, to produce a corrected reasoning model.

The result of comparing the conviction measure can be used to determine whether to include or exclude the feature, case, etc. in the computer-based reasoning model. A controllable system may then be controlled using the computer-based reasoning model.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting and correcting anomalies in computer-based reasoning systems are provided herein. The techniques can include obtaining current context data and determining a contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and a reasoning model. The reasoning model may have been determined based on multiple sets of training data. The techniques may cause performance of the contextually-determined action and, potentially, receiving an indication that performing the contextually-determined action in the current context resulted in an anomaly. The techniques include determining a portion of the reasoning model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and causing removal of the portion of the model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action, to produce a corrected reasoning model.
