  • Patent number: 10643140
    Abstract: A method includes performing contextual association of entities using multi-source data. For each context the method performs co-clustering to identify distinct expert-skill associations; constructing single-entity unipartite graph representations and performing a random walk within each single-entity unipartite graph; for each single-entity unipartite graph, obtaining steady state distributions using the random walks to obtain clusters of experts and skills; performing a weighted two-way random walk across entity graphs (graph edges), giving preference to traversal within members of the same co-cluster; and performing link prediction for each context by dynamically adding edges, and obtaining overall skills predictions, analyses and inferences by merging the contexts and weighting the links of each context.

  • Patent number: 9187104
    Abstract: An aspect of an online learning system includes collecting data, via a computer processing device, from a plurality of data sources including multiple disparate detectors, the data including at least one of historical alarm data, failures, maintenance records, and environment observations. The data is stored in tables each corresponding to a subject of measurement. The online learning system also includes identifying common fields shared across the tables, merging at least a portion of the data across the tables having the common fields, and creating an integrated data model based on results of the merging.

  • Patent number: 6928398
    Abstract: A method and computer system is provided for automatically constructing a time series model for the time series to be forecasted. The constructed model can be either a univariate ARIMA model or a multivariate ARIMA model, depending upon whether predictors, interventions or events are inputted in the system along with the series to be forecasted. The method of constructing a univariate ARIMA model comprises the steps of imputing missing values of the time series inputted; finding the proper transformation for positive time series; determining differencing orders; determining non-seasonal AR and MA orders by pattern detection; building an initial model; estimating and modifying the model iteratively.
