  • Patent number: 7734652
    Abstract: An implementation of NMF functionality integrated into a relational database management system provides the capability to apply NMF to relational datasets and to sparse datasets. A database management system comprises a multi-dimensional data table operable to store data and a processing unit operable to perform non-negative matrix factorization on data stored in the multi-dimensional data table and to generate a plurality of data tables, each data table being smaller than the multi-dimensional data table and having reduced dimensionality relative to the multi-dimensional data table. The multi-dimensional data table may be a relational data table.

  • Patent number: 6973459
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for generating an Adaptive Bayes Network data mining model includes receiving a data table having a plurality of predictor columns and a target column, constructing a plurality of single-predictor models, ranking each single-predictor model using minimum description length and selecting a best single predictor model, performing feature selection, constructing a Naïve Bayes model, comparing a description length of the Naive Bayes model with a description length of a baseline model, replacing the baseline model with the Naïve Bayes model, if the description length of the Naive Bayes model is less than the description length of the baseline model, extending a plurality of single-predictor models in rank order, stepwise, to multi-predictor features, and testing whether each new feature should be included in or should replace a current model state using minimum description length.
