  • Patent number: 12530622
    Abstract: A system and related methods for generating class-specific data are disclosed. The data belong to an input space with an unknown initial probability distribution and a known classification scheme. From a relatively small, unbalanced dataset of samples with respect to the classification scheme in the input space, the system is programmed to learn a series of invertible transformations from the input space to a target space, a target probability distribution for the samples in the target space, and a trainable parameter probability distribution for each parameter of the target probability distribution to represent uncertainty information related to the target probability distribution. The system is programmed to further identify how to sample from each parameter probability distribution, which determine how to sample from the target probability distribution, to generate samples in the input space that are more likely to belong to specific classes.

  • Patent number: 12493826
    Abstract: Features are used to train one or more ML models in a modelling layer. In a feature selection layer, each generated ML model is analyzed to determine, for each input feature, a degree of importance of the feature on the results generated by the ML model. Features with low importance are identified and the information is propagated backward to the data source and feature engineering layers. In response, the data source and feature engineering layers refrain from gathering or generating the unimportant features. Based on a confidence measure of the determination that each feature is important or unimportant, a number of periods between reevaluation of the feature importance is determined. After the number of periods has elapsed, a removed feature is restored to the pipeline.

  • Patent number: 12443876
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving autotuning procedures using stateless processing with a remote key-value store. For example, the system can implement a task launcher, a scheduler, and an agent to launch, schedule, and execute decomposed autotuning stages, respectively. The scheduling policy implemented by the scheduler may perform operations beyond a simple scheduling policy (e.g., a FIFO-based scheduling policy), which produces a high queuing delay. Compared to the traditional systems, by leveraging autotuning specific domain knowledge, queueing delay is reduced and resource utilization is improved.

  • Patent number: 12423571
    Abstract: Reinforcement learning methods can use actor-critic networks where (1) additional laboratory-only state information is used to train a policy that much act without this additional laboratory-only information in a production setting; and (2) complex resource-demanding policies are distilled into a less-demanding policy that can be more easily run at production with limited computational resources. The production actor network can be optimized using a frozen version of a large critic network, previously trained with a large actor network. Aspects of these methods can leverage actor-critic methods in which the critic network models the action value function, as opposed to the state value function.
