  • Publication number: 20220156637
    Abstract: An online machine learning model such as an autonomous agent predicts an action. A processor associated with, or running, the online machine learning model observes an environment for an interval of time for a real reward associated with the action. Responsive to determining that the real reward is not received within the interval of time, the processor determines based on a criterion whether to allocate an immediate reward received within the interval of time to the online machine learning model, where the immediate reward is an approximation of the real reward. Responsive to determining that the immediate reward is to be allocated, the processor allocates the immediate reward to the online machine learning model. The online machine learning model further learns or retrains itself based on the immediate reward.

  • Publication number: 20220058191
    Abstract: In accordance with implementations of the present disclosure, a solution for converting a natural language query is provided. In this solution, a first natural language query and a second natural language query for one or more data tables are received, wherein semantics of the second natural language query is dependent on the first natural language query. A third natural language query for one or more data tables is generated based on the first natural language query and the second natural language query, wherein semantics of the third natural language query is identical to the semantics of the second natural language query and independent of the first natural language query. In this way, this solution can convert a context-dependent natural language query into a context-independent natural language query, thereby enabling interfacing with any semantic parsers which can convert a natural language query into a computer-executable query.

  • Publication number: 20220051049
    Abstract: A computer automatically selects a machine learning model pipeline using a meta-learning machine learning model. The computer receives ground truth data and pipeline preference metadata. The computer determines a group of pipelines appropriate for the ground truth data, and each of the pipelines includes an algorithm. The pipelines may include data preprocessing routines. The computer generates hyperparameter sets for the pipelines. The computer applies preprocessing routines to ground truth data to generate a group of preprocessed sets of said ground truth data and ranks hyperparameter set performance for each pipeline to establish a preferred set of hyperparameters for each of pipeline. The computer selects favored data features and applies each of the pipelines, with associated sets of preferred hyperparameters, to score the favored data features of the preprocessed ground truth data. The computer ranks pipeline performance and selects a candidate pipeline according to the ranking.
