  • Publication number: 20230368069
    Abstract: Technologies for monitoring input feature health for machine learning models and detecting anomalies are described. Embodiments include receiving, by a trained machine learning model and from an online system, a set of historical values and a current feature value of a time series feature, the time series feature represents one or more measured values of the online system. Embodiments include predicting an expected feature value and an expected range of values using the set of historical values. Embodiments include receiving the expected feature value and the expected range of values. Embodiments include receiving the current feature value. Embodiments include determining that an anomaly condition is present based on the current feature value, the expected feature value, and the expected range of values. Embodiments include generating an alert for the anomaly condition that includes the severity metric and the duration metric.

  • Patent number: 11531349
    Abstract: In a predictive path planning functionality for a transportation vehicle data describing a roadway are acquired by one or more sensors disposed on the transportation vehicle and analyzed. One or more predicted paths are predicted with at least one neural network. Data describing a reference path taken by the transportation vehicle are acquired. The one or more predicted paths are evaluated to detect one or more errors in the predicting operation wherein the one or more errors include an indication that the one or more predicted paths of the path planning system deviate from the reference path.
