  • Publication number: 20220405623
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a query-driven machine learning platform for generating feature attributions and other data for interpreting the relationship between inputs and outputs of a machine learning model. The platform can receive query statements for selecting data, training a machine learning model, and generating model explanation data for the model. The platform can distribute processing for generating the model explanation data to scale in response to requests to process selected data, including multiple records with a variety of different feature values. The interface between a user device and the machine learning platform can streamline deployment of different model explainability approaches across a variety of different machine learning models.

  • Patent number: 8370337
    Abstract: Methods and computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that facilitate generating a machine-learned model for ranking search results using click-based data are provided. Data is referenced from user queries, which may include search results generated by general search engines and vertical search engines. A training set is generated from the search results and click-based judgments are associated with the search results in the training set. Based on click-based judgments, identifiable features are determined from the search results in a training set. Based on determining identifiable features in a training set, a rule set is generated for ranking subsequent search results.

  • Patent number: 8150841
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media are provided for identifying and clustering queries that are rising in popularity. Resultant clustered queries can be compared to other stored queries using textual and temporal correlations. Fresh indices containing information and results from recently crawled content sources are searched to obtain the most recent query activity. Historical indices are also searched to obtain temporally correlated information and results that match the clustered query stream. A weighted average acceleration of a spike can be calculated to distinguish between a legitimate spike and a non-legitimate spike. Legitimate clusters are combined with other stored clusters and presented as grouped content results to a user output device.
