  • Patent number: 10671916
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for executing efficiently, in real-time, a plurality of machine learning processes. In one embodiment, a computing platform with multiple compute elements receives multiple data streams, each such stream associated with its own respective machine learning process. Each machine learning process is operative to use its data stream as input to train, in real-time, a respective mathematical model. Each of the processes has peaks and dips in processing demands. The system re-allocates, in real-time, compute elements from the processes with lower processing demands to processes with higher processing demands, thereby handling all of the multiple processes on-the-fly, preventing peak demands from causing the system to stall, and reducing overall the computational resources required by the system.

  • Publication number: 20200090075
    Abstract: A method for determining the predictive value of a feature may include: (a) performing predictive modeling procedures associated with respective predictive models, wherein performing each modeling procedure includes fitting the associated model to an initial dataset representing an initial prediction problem; (b) determining a first accuracy score of each of the fitted models, representing an accuracy with which the fitted model predicts an outcome of the initial prediction problem; (c) shuffling values of a feature across observations included in the initial dataset, thereby generating a modified dataset representing a modified prediction problem; (d) determining a second accuracy score of each of the fitted models, representing an accuracy with which the fitted model predicts an outcome of the modified prediction problem; and (e) determining a model-specific predictive value of the feature for each of the fitted models based on the first and second accuracy scores of the fitted model.

  • Patent number: 10558924
    Abstract: A predictive modeling method may include obtaining a fitted, first-order predictive model configured to predict values of output variables based on values of first input variables; and performing a second-order modeling procedure on the fitted, first-order model, which may include: generating input data including observations including observed values of second input variables and predicted values of the output variables; generating training data and testing data from the input data; generating a fitted second-order model of the fitted first-order model by fitting a second-order model to the training data; and testing the fitted, second-order model of the first-order model on the testing data. Each observation of the input data may be generated by (1) obtaining observed values of the second input variables, and (2) applying the first-order predictive model to corresponding observed values of the first input variables to generate the predicted values of the output variables.

  • Patent number: 10496927
    Abstract: A predictive modeling method may include determining a time interval of time-series data; identifying one or more variables of the data as targets; determining a forecast range and a skip range associated with a prediction problem represented by the data; generating training data and testing data from the time-series data; fitting a predictive model to the training data; and testing the fitted model on the testing data. The forecast range may indicate a duration of a period for which values of the targets are to be predicted. The skip range may indicate a temporal lag between the time period corresponding to the data used to make predictions and the time period corresponding to the predictions. The skip range may separate input data subsets representing model inputs from subsets representing model outputs, and separate test data subsets representing model inputs from subsets representing validation data.

  • Patent number: 10387900
    Abstract: An apparatus has a memory with processor-executable instructions and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The apparatus receives datasets including time series data points that are descriptive of a feature of a given entity. The processor determines a time series characteristic based on the data content, and selects, based on the determined characteristic, a set of entrant forecasting models from a pool of forecasting models stored in the memory. Next, the processor trains each entrant forecasting model with the time series data points to produce a set of trained entrant forecasting models. The processor executes each trained entrant forecasting model to generate a set of forecasted values indicating estimations of the feature of the given entity. Thereafter the processor selects at least one forecasting model from the set of trained entrant forecasting models based on computed accuracy evaluations performed over the set of forecasted values.

  • Patent number: 10366335
    Abstract: Systems and methods of searching for related data sets are provided. Multivariate data sets can be input as queries into a data set search engine. According to one embodiment, the input data set is automatically reduced to a set of best fit data models of minimum complexity that represent the data set. The data model is then compared to other data models to not only identify similarity between the models, but also to identify the particulars of why the data models are related. Similar data model results can be analyzed to determine the quality of each returned data model based on an information scores. These results can be displayed graphically as a topographical map of nodes and edge. Each node can represent a data model and each edge can reflect the similarity between the nodes.

  • Patent number: 10102483
    Abstract: Various systems and methods provide an intuitive user interface that enables automatic specification of queries and constraints for analysis by ML component. Various implementations provide methodologies for automatically formulating machine learning (“ML”) and optimization queries. The automatic generation of ML and/or optimization queries can be configured to use examples to facilitate formulation of ML and optimization queries. One example method includes accepting input data specifying variables and data values associated with the variables. Within the input data any unspecified data records are identified, and a relationship between the variables specified in the input data and a variable associated with the at least one unspecified data record is automatically determined. The relationship can be automatically determined based on training data contained within the input data. Once a relationship is established a ML problem can be automatically generated.
