  • Patent number: 11410082
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for implementing a model update mechanism to update new models in real time while avoiding data loss and system downtime. Responsive to receiving a request to update a scorer model currently being executed by an existing worker thread in the data processing system, the model update mechanism initializing a new worker thread. The model update mechanism loads an updated scorer model into the new worker thread and initializes a state transfer from the existing worker thread to the new worker thread. The model update mechanism executes the updated scorer model such that the updated scorer model scores the input data. The model update mechanism then outputs a prediction based on the updated scorer model processing of the input data.

  • Patent number: 11373056
    Abstract: Mechanism are provided to select a machine learning model from an analytics model library based on ingested data. One or more pieces of clarified data are fused to provide time-correlated data tuples of data streams. One or more features are extracted from the time-correlated data tuples and scored based on a set of predetermined rules thereby generating discriminative scoring of trigger data. Utilizing the discriminative scoring of the trigger data, trigger data of a current analytics model being utilized by the data processing and one or more new analytics models from the analytics model library are scored. Responsive to the scoring of the trigger data indicating a selection of a different analytics model from the analytics model library, the current analytics model is replaced with a selected analytics model from the analytics model library such that the data processing system executes the selected analytics model.

  • Patent number: 11099979
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to identify wall-clock time reference dependency in one or more software components of a data analytics solution. The data analytics solution is decomposed into a set of software components. A first software component of the set of software components is deployed to a first computer server and the remaining software components are deployed to a second computer server. A system clock time on the first computer server is changed to differ from the system clock of the second computer server. Based on executing a test on the data analytics solution, a determination is made of whether the first software component, is wall-clock time independent. Responsive to the test of the of the software component failing indicating that the wall-clock time of the software component is dependent of the system clock time difference, the software component is recorded as wall-clock time dependent and an administrator is notified.

  • Patent number: 10395004
    Abstract: A method of analyzing physiological data streams. According to the method, physiological data is received into a computerized machine. The physiological data comprises numerical data and medical symptoms of a patient. Features are extracted from the physiological data based on development of the physiological data over a period of time. The features are converted into a textual representation using natural language generation. Input terms for an information retrieval system operating on the computerized machine are automatically generated based on the features. The input terms are input to the information retrieval system. A corpus of data is automatically searched to retrieve results to the input terms using the information retrieval system.

  • Patent number: 4830800
    Abstract: An improved process for forming a dense silicon nitride compact having improved high temperature properties comprises: forming a glass using compounds, containing Al, Si, O, N, and a rare-earth element, known to form one or more crystalline phases; mixing this preformed glass in particulate form with silicon nitride powder; and densifying the mixture at an elevated temperature; and then forming one or more crystalline intergranular phases from the glass to thereby improve the high temperature characteristics of the resultant dense silicon nitride compact. In a preferred embodiment, the process includes heating the dense compact to a first temperature to form nucleates; and then heating the dense compact at a second temperature to grow the desired one or more crystalline intergranular phases on the nucleates. In another embodiment, the crystallization may be carried out by controlled direct cooling of the compact from the sintering temperature.
