  • Patent number: 11436469
    Abstract: Described herein is a conversation engine that can be used in a system such as a personal digital assistant or search engine that combines a dynamic knowledge graph built during execution of a request and one or more static knowledge graphs holding long term knowledge. The conversation engine comprises a state tracker that holds the dynamic knowledge graph representing the current state of the conversation, a policy engine that selects entities in the dynamic knowledge graph and executes actions provided by those entities to move the state of the conversation toward completion, and a knowledge graph search engine to search the static knowledge graph(s). The conversation is completed by building the dynamic knowledge graph over multiple rounds and chaining together operations that build toward completion of the conversation. Completion of the conversation results in completion of a request by a user.

  • Patent number: 11429895
    Abstract: Herein are techniques for exploring hyperparameters of a machine learning model (MLM) and to train a regressor to predict a time needed to train the MLM based on a hyperparameter configuration and a dataset. In an embodiment that is deployed in production inferencing mode, for each landmark configuration, each containing values for hyperparameters of a MLM, a computer configures the MLM based on the landmark configuration and measures time spent training the MLM on a dataset. An already trained regressor predicts time needed to train the MLM based on a proposed configuration of the MLM, dataset meta-feature values, and training durations and hyperparameter values of landmark configurations of the MLM. When instead in training mode, a regressor in training ingests a training corpus of MLM performance history to learn, by reinforcement, to predict a training time for the MLM for new datasets and/or new hyperparameter configurations.

  • Patent number: 11386349
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system is configured to identify, based on predetermined criteria, a first set of users of an online system who belong to a population segment. The system may monitor activities performed by the first set of users on the online system over a predetermined period of time and store the monitored activities as time-series data. A feature set associated with the first set of users may be generated by transforming the time-series data into a frequency domain. The system may train a machine-learning model using the feature set and other feature sets to determine whether activities associated with a given set of users exhibit diurnal behavior pattern. Using the trained machine-learning model, the system may determine whether activities performed by a second set of users on the online system exhibit diurnal behavior pattern.

  • Patent number: 11381468
    Abstract: A distributed system may implement identifying correlated workloads for resource allocation. Resource data for resources hosted at resource hosts in a distributed system may be analyzed to determine behavioral similarities. Historical behavior data or resource configuration data, for instance, may be compared between resources. Behaviors between resources may be identified as correlated according to the determined behavioral similarities. An allocation of one or more resource hosts in the distributed system may be made for a resource based on the behaviors identified as correlated. For instance, resources may be migrated from a current resource host to another resource host, new resources may be placed at a resource host, or resources may be reconfigured into different resources. Machine learning techniques may be implemented to refine techniques for identifying correlated behaviors.

  • Patent number: 11361244
    Abstract: Training query intents are allocated for multiple training entities into training time intervals in a time series based on a corresponding query intent time for each training query intent. Training performance results for the multiple training entities are allocated into the training time intervals in the time series based on a corresponding performance time of each training performance result. A machine learning model for a training milestone of the time series is trained based on the training query intents allocated to a training time interval prior to the training milestone and the training performance results allocated to a training time interval after the training milestone. Target performance for the target entity for an interval after a target milestone in the time series is predicted by inputting to the trained machine learning model target query intents allocated to the target entity in a target time interval before the target milestone.
