Patent number: 11956138Abstract: An embodiment establishes a knowledge base based at least in part on sensor data received from a network. The embodiment generates a predicted performance parameter for a designated entity of the network using a first machine learning algorithm. The embodiment compares the predicted performance parameter to an actual performance parameter and determines whether the actual performance parameter exceeds a threshold difference from the predicted performance parameter. The embodiment generates, responsive to determining that the threshold difference is exceeded, incentive data using a second machine learning algorithm, where the incentive data is representative of an action selected by the second machine learning algorithm using an iterative optimization process, and where the iterative optimization process comprises performing the action and determining that the actual performance parameter approaches the threshold value in response to the action.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Amadou Ba, Fearghal O'Donncha, Albert Akhriev, Paulito Palmes

Publication number: 20240112066Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for retraining a model in case of a drift in machine learning. A computer detects a drift in machine learning. A computer identifies in a database features and a response of a machine learning model. A computer determines a time window of the drift. A computer extracts, from the database, data of the features and the response in the time window. A computer determines whether extracted data is sufficient for retraining the machine learning model. A computer, in response to determining that the extracted data is not sufficient for retraining the machine learning model, interpolates one or more of the features for a predetermined future time horizon. A computer interpolates a response corresponding to one or more interpolated features. A computer retrains the machine learning model, using the one or more interpolated features and an interpolated response corresponding thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Amadou Ba, Venkata Sitaramagiridharganesh Ganapavarapu, Seshu Tirupathi, Bradley Eck
