  • Publication number: 20230214678
    Abstract: Techniques for detecting and correcting anomalies in computer-based reasoning systems are provided herein. The techniques can include obtaining current context data and determining a contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and a reasoning model. The reasoning model may have been determined based on one or more sets of training data. The techniques may cause performance of the contextually-determined action and, potentially, receiving an indication that performing the contextually-determined action in the current context resulted in an anomaly. The techniques include determining a portion of the reasoning model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action based on the obtained context data and causing removal of the portion of the model that caused the determination of the contextually-determined action, to produce a corrected reasoning model.

  • Patent number: 11676069
    Abstract: Techniques for synthetic data generation in computer-based reasoning systems are discussed and include receiving a request for generation of synthetic data based on a set of training data cases. One or more focal training data cases are determined. For undetermined features (either all of them or those that are not subject to conditions), a value for the feature is determined based on the focal cases. In some embodiments, the generated synthetic data may be checked for similarity against the original data, and if similarity conditions are met, it may be modified (e.g., resampled), removed, and/or replaced.

  • Patent number: 11669769
    Abstract: Techniques for synthetic data generation in computer-based reasoning systems are discussed and include receiving a request for generation of synthetic data based on a set of training data cases. One or more focal training data cases are determined. For undetermined features (either all of them or those that are not subject to conditions), a value for the feature is determined based on the focal cases. In some embodiments, the generation of synthetic data may be conditioned on values of features, preserved features, such as unique identifiers, previous-in-time features, and using the other techniques discussed herein.

  • Patent number: 11657294
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for evolutionary computer-based optimization and artificial intelligence systems, and include receiving first and second candidate executable code (with ploidy of at least two and one, respectively) each selected at least in part based on a fitness score. If the desired ploidy of the resultant executable code is one, then the first candidate executable code and the second candidate executable code are combined to produce haploid executable code. If the desired ploidy is two, then the first candidate executable code and the second candidate executable code are combined to produce diploid executable code. A fitness score is determined for the resultant executable code, and a determination is made whether the resultant executable code will be used as a future candidate executable code based at least in part on the third fitness score. If an exit condition is met, then the resultant executable code is used as evolved executable code.

  • Publication number: 20230049574
    Abstract: The techniques herein include using an input context to determine a suggested action and/or cluster. Explanations may also be determined and returned along with the suggested action. The explanations may include (i) one or more most similar cases to the suggested case (e.g., the case associated with the suggested action) and, optionally, a conviction score for each nearby cases; (ii) action probabilities, (iii) excluding cases and distances, (iv) archetype and/or counterfactual cases for the suggested action; (v) feature residuals; (vi) regional model complexity; (vii) fractional dimensionality; (viii) prediction conviction; (ix) feature prediction contribution; and/or other measures such as the ones discussed herein, including certainty. The explanation data may be used to determine whether to perform a suggested action.

  • Publication number: 20230030717
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for imputation in computer-based reasoning systems. The techniques include performing the following until there are no more cases in a computer-based reasoning model with missing fields for which imputation is desired: determining which cases have fields to impute (e.g., missing fields) in the computer-based reasoning model and determining conviction scores and / or imputation order information for the cases that have fields to impute. The techniques proceed by determining for which cases to impute data and, for each of the determined one or more cases with missing fields to impute data is imputed for the missing field, and the case is modified with the imputed data. Control of a system is then caused using the updated computer-based reasoning model.

  • Publication number: 20220413451
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for creating well-balanced computer-based reasoning systems and using those to control systems. The techniques include receiving a request to determine whether to include one or more particular data elements in a computer-based reasoning model and determining two probability density or mass functions (“PDMFs”), one for the data set including the one or more particular data elements, once for the data set excluding it. Surprisal is determined based on those two PDMFs, and inclusion in the computer-based reasoning model is determined based on surprisal. A system is later controlled using the computer-based reasoning model.
