  • Patent number: 11080617
    Abstract: Machine learning models are powerful artificial intelligence tools that can make determinations based on a variety of factors. Unlike a simple linear model, however, determining the contribution of each variable to the outcome of a machine learning model is a challenging task. It may be unclear which factors contributed heavily toward a particular outcome of the machine learning model and which factors did not have a major effect on the outcome. Being able to accurately determine the underlying causative factors for a machine learning-based decision, however, can be important in several contexts. The present disclosure describes techniques that allow for training and use of non-linear machine learning models, while also preserving causal information for outputs of the models. Relative weight calculations for machine learning model variables can be used to accomplish this, in various embodiments.

  • Patent number: 11068775
    Abstract: A processing apparatus applied in an artificial neuron is disclosed. The processing apparatus comprises a parser, a lookup array, a summing circuit and a MAC circuit. The parser parses one of M packets to extract a non-zero weight value from a header of the one packet, to identify a plurality of bit positions with a specified digit from a payload of the one packet, and to output the non-zero weight value and the bit positions in parallel. The lookup array contains N synapse values and is indexed by the bit positions in parallel to generate a plurality of match values. The summing circuit sums up the match values to generate a sum value. The MAC circuit generates a product of the non-zero weight value and the sum value, and generates an accumulate value based on the product and at least one previous accumulate value.

  • Patent number: 11056240
    Abstract: System and method for automatically generate therapy plan parameters by use of an integrate model with extended applicable regions. The integrated model integrates multiple predictive models from which a suitable predictive model can be selected automatically to perform prediction for a new patient case. The integrated model may operate to evaluate prediction results generated by each predictive model and the associated prediction reliabilities and selectively output a satisfactory prediction. Alternatively, the integrated model may select a suitable predictive model by a decision hierarchy in which each level corresponds to divisions of a patient data feature set and divisions on a subordinate level are nested with divisions on a superordinate level.

  • Patent number: 11049049
    Abstract: An original set of rules are transformed into a resulting set of generalized rules in a rule management system. An original set of rules stored in a data structure for transforming into a resulting set of rules are accessed. The original set of rules is automatically processed by building a compact description of one or more rules in the original set of rules and their actions in the form of logical constraints and solving constraints to find a solution that represents a case and an applied action, building a family of cases by taking all logical tests or their negation that are satisfied by the solution, and generalizing the family of cases by removal of specific logical tests which do not apply to the action, resulting in a most-general rule.

  • Patent number: 11023802
    Abstract: Methods for controlling the resistance of a controllable resistive element include determining an amount of electrical resistance change for the controllable resistive element. A concentration difference is determined for a charge carrier ion in a resistor layer of the controllable resistance element that corresponds to the electrical resistance change for the controllable resistive element. A duration and amplitude of a current pulse is determined that changes the charge carrier ion concentration by the determined difference. A positive or negative current pulse is applied to a controllable resistive element for the determined duration.

  • Patent number: 11004010
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for providing consistent processing in a machine learning system are disclosed. A real-time processing request may be received and processed by both a preferred machine learning model and a fallback machine learning model. Processing for the preferred machine learning model may include obtaining additional information. A determination may be made regarding whether the processing of the real-time request by the preferred machine learning model has completed as of an expiration of an acceptable latency period. If the preferred model has not completed as of the expiration of an acceptable latency period, the response to the real-time request may be generated from the fallback model output. If the preferred model has completed prior to or by the expiration of the acceptable latency period, the response to the request may be generated from the preferred model output.

  • Patent number: 10990901
    Abstract: A device identifies training data and scoring data for a model, and removes bias from the training data to generate unbiased training data. The device trains the model with the unbiased training data to generate trained models, and processes the trained models, with the scoring data, to generate scores for the trained models. The device selects a trained model, from the trained models, based on model metrics and the scores, and processes a training sample, with the trained model, to generate first results, wherein the training sample is created based on the unbiased training data and production data. The device processes a production sample, with the trained model, to generate second results, wherein the production sample is created based on the production data and the training sample. The device provides the trained model for use in a production environment based on the first results and the second results.

  • Patent number: 10970650
    Abstract: An AUC-maximized high-accuracy classification method and system for imbalanced datasets integrates an under-sampling-and-ensemble strategy, a true-outliers-removing strategy and a fake-outliers-concealing strategy, with the hope to effectively and robustly enhance both the AUC and the accuracy metrics in imbalanced classification. Applying under-sampling to construct multiple sub-datasets and assembling classification results of multiple classifiers greatly decline the risk of misclassification and lead to highly accurate and robust results in imbalanced classification task. Moreover, this invention pays attention to detect and identify extremely hidden outliers in a sub-dataset which includes a sub-majority dataset and the entire minority dataset. In this way, more hidden outliers can be located and thus exert less influence on the decision boundary, which contributes to both high AUC and accuracy.

  • Patent number: 10963805
    Abstract: The present invention solves a problem that there may be a case that an estimated value of regression cannot be calculated depending on a discrimination result when a regression method is applied after a discrimination method, and has a purpose to obtain an estimating equation with high accuracy even when the number of sample groups to which the regression method is applied is small. An estimating equation that satisfies the regression and discrimination at the same time can be obtained by combining a discrimination evaluation function that evaluates discrimination accuracy and a regression evaluation function that evaluates regression accuracy, calculating a combination evaluation function, and optimizing the combination evaluation function.
