  • Patent number: 11861462
    Abstract: A technique for automated preparation of tabular data for machine learning, including options for machine learning derived infill, feature importance evaluations, and/or dimensionality reduction. Validation data sets may be consistently prepared to training data sets based on properties of the training data saved in a metadata database. Additional data sets may be consistently prepared to training data sets based on properties of the training data saved in a returned metadata database such as for use in generating predictions from the trained ML system. Returned data sets may be prepared for oversampling of labels with lower frequency occurrence. Columns of a training data set are evaluated for appropriate categories of transformations, with the composition of transformation function applications designated by a defined tree of transformation category assignments to transformation primitives.

  • Publication number: 20210141801
    Abstract: A technique for automated preparation of tabular data categoric feature set encodings for machine learning, including options for variations on categoric encodings for bounded and unbounded categoric sets. String parsing may be performed to extract grammatical structure shared between the entries in a categoric feature set, such as string character subset overlaps, which may be returned in one or more columns of overlap activations or may be used to consolidate entries with shared overlaps. Numeric substring partitions may be extracted. Search terms may be applied to identify entries containing specific substring partitions. Sets of transformations may be aggregated by use of transformation primitives such as to return encodings in multiple configurations of varying information content. Additional data sets may be consistently prepared to training data sets based on properties of training data saved in a returned metadata database such as for use in inference from a trained machine learning system.
