  • Patent number: 12205053
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for using machine learning models to more reliably predict likelihoods of application failure. A model is trained to identify and display events that may cause high severity application failures. Logistic regression may be used to fit the model such that application features are mapped to a high severity event flag. Significant features of applications that relate to the high severity flag may be selected using stepwise regression. The identified applications may be displayed on a graphical user interface for review and reprioritization. Information may be ranked and displayed according to multiple different ranking criteria, such as one ranking generated by a first model, and another determined by one or more users. The multiple ranking criteria may be used to inform steps taken, and/or to retrain or tune the parameters of the model for subsequent predictions or classifications.

  • Patent number: 12169776
    Abstract: Techniques of facilitating deep learning model rescaling by computing devices. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise: a rescaling component; and a forecasting component. The rescaling component can determine a scaling ratio that maps low mesh resolution predictive data output by a partial differential equation (PDE)-based model for a sub-domain to high-resolution observational or ground-truth data for a domain comprising the sub-domain. The forecasting component can generate high mesh resolution predictive data for the domain with a machine-learning model using input data of the PDE-based model and the scaling ratio.
