  • Patent number: 11907833
    Abstract: A method includes receiving input data including a plurality of feature vectors and labeling each feature vector based on a temporal proximity of the feature vector to occurrence of a fault. Feature vectors that are within a threshold temporal proximity to the occurrence of the fault are labeled with a first label value and other feature vectors are labeled with a second label value. The method includes determining, for each feature vector of a subset, a probability that the label associated with the feature vector is correct. The subset includes feature vectors having labels that indicate the first label value. The method includes reassigning labels of one or more feature vectors of the subset having a probability that fails to satisfy a probability threshold and, after reassigning the labels, training an aircraft fault prediction classifier using supervised training data including the plurality of feature vectors and the labels.

  • Patent number: 11868878
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for implementing a large fully-connected layer in an artificial neural network. The large fully-connected layer is grouped into multiple fully-connected subnetworks. Each fully-connected subnetwork is configured to classify an object into an unknown class or a class in a subset of target classes. If the object is classified as the unknown class by a fully-connected subnetwork, a next fully-connected subnetwork may be used to further classify the object. In some embodiments, the fully-connected layer is grouped based on a ranking of target classes.

  • Patent number: 11855849
    Abstract: At a rule processing unit of an evolving, self-organized machine learning-based resource management service, a rule of a first rule set is applied to a value of a first collected metric, resulting in the initiation of a first corrective action. A set of metadata indicating the metric value and the corrective action is transmitted to a repository, and is used as part of an input data set for a machine learning model trained to generate rule modification recommendations. In response to determining that the corrective actions did not meet a success criterion, an escalation message is transmitted to another rule processing unit.

  • Patent number: 11574221
    Abstract: Provided is a state determination apparatus that appropriately performs pattern classification processing and/or pattern determination processing even when a map generated by the SOM technique includes discontinuous image regions. In the state determination apparatus, the matching processing unit obtains adaptability data indicating a correlation degree between template data indicating a state and the SOM output data. The state determination unit obtains a state evaluation value based on an activity value obtained by the activity value obtaining unit and the adaptability value. The time series estimation unit determines a state of an input data based on the state evaluation value and state transition probability between states. This allows for appropriately performing pattern classification processing and/or pattern determination processing even when a map generated by the SOM technique includes discontinuous image regions.

  • Patent number: 11202017
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and processes for transforming a style of video data. In one embodiment, a neural network is used to interpolate native video data received from a camera system on a mobile device in real-time. The interpolation converts the live native video data into a particular style. For example, the style can be associated with a particular artist or a particular theme. The stylized video data can viewed on a display of the mobile device in a manner similar to which native live video data is output to the display. Thus, the stylized video data, which is viewed on the display, is consistent with a current position and orientation of the camera system on the display.
