  • Patent number: 11954126
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for carrying out predictive analysis where a plurality of data sets may be ingested from a data lake. A data analyzer may tag the ingested data sets, detect redundant occurrence of multiple attributes such as, a row, a column, and a list in the tagged data set. The data analyzer may eliminate the detected redundant multiple attributes. Further, a model selector and evaluator may execute a machine learning (ML) model to conduct predictive analysis on the data set. The execution may be done based on a predefined set of instructions stored in a database. The executed ML model may be validated upon determining that the predictive analysis yields a positive response for the transformed data set.
