Publication number: 20240104394Abstract: Provided are computing systems, methods, and platforms that automatically produce production-ready machine learning models and deployment pipelines from minimal input information such as a raw training dataset. In particular, one example computing system can import a training dataset associated with a user. The computing system can execute an origination machine learning pipeline to perform a model architecture search that selects and trains a machine learning model for the training dataset. Execution of the origination machine learning pipeline can also result in generation of a deployment machine learning pipeline configured to enable deployment of the machine learning model (e.g., running the machine learning model to produce inferences and/or optionally other tasks such as re-training and/or re-tuning the model).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Amy Skerry-Ryan, Quentin Lascombes de Laroussilhe, Ronald Rong Yang, Carla Marie Riggi, Chansoo Lee, Jordan Arthur Grimstad, Christopher Mark Lamb, Joseph Michael Moran, Nihesh Anderson Klutto Milleth, Noah Weston Hadfield-Menell, Volodymyr Shtenovych, Ziqi Huang, Sagi Perel, Michael David Gerard, Mehadi Seid Hassen

Patent number: 11066426Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of making a porous molecular structure from a solution comprising an insoluble metal containing material and a ligand-providing material. In some embodiments, the porous molecular structure can be a Metal-Organic Framework (MOF). Ionic metal salts are the most common type of metal source for MOF production, but dissolution of metal salts complicates solvent recycling and creates corrosion and oxidation issues through evolved nitrate and chloride anions. Elucidating information that leads toward more efficient production of these versatile nanomaterials, while extending the knowledge base of how MOFs form during reaction, is critical to advancing MOF materials into large-scale use. Disclosed herein are improved methods for controlled synthesis of porous molecular structures such as MOFs comprising a solution-based synthesis with insoluble metallic precursor.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: GEORGIA TECH RESEARCH CORPORATIONInventors: Jayraj Nayan Joshi, Colton Michael Moran, Krista S.
