  • Patent number: 11956138
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240112442
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of analyzing a land region that has been decomposed into a plurality of regular or irregular sub-regions. The computer-implemented method includes applying, using a processor system, a feature extraction process that extracts a set of sub-region environmental descriptors for each of the plurality of sub-regions. The processor system applies a similarity analysis to the set of sub-region environmental descriptors to generate groups of the plurality of sub-regions. The processor system creates a plurality of group-based graphs by encoding each of the groups into a corresponding group-based graph. A spatio-temporal neural network is used to train a model based at least in part on the plurality of group-based graphs.

  • Publication number: 20220188629
    Abstract: Techniques of facilitating deep learning model rescaling by computing devices. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise: a rescaling component; and a forecasting component. The rescaling component can determine a scaling ratio that maps low mesh resolution predictive data output by a partial differential equation (PDE)-based model for a sub-domain to high-resolution observational or ground-truth data for a domain comprising the sub-domain. The forecasting component can generate high mesh resolution predictive data for the domain with a machine-learning model using input data of the PDE-based model and the scaling ratio.
