  • Patent number: 12632699
    Abstract: A temporal-aware or permutation-dependent Graph Neural Network (GNN) is disclosed. The example GNN is implemented by combining temporal-awareness with multi-layer neighborhood aggregation to further provide the GNN with inductive capabilities with respect to generating embeddings of a dynamic graph, all without creating multiple time snapshots of the graph. By using a temporal-aware message pass scheme involving a temporal-aware and permutation-dependent GNN, a set of temporal-aware local neighborhood aggregator functions may be effective trained and used for generating embeddings for unknow nodes and for providing more accurate embeddings for subsequent prediction tasks.

  • Patent number: 12547886
    Abstract: An information management system is disclosed herein that can use artificial intelligence to identify situations in which a performance metric may not be satisfied. For example, a storage manager of the information management system can maintain data related to historical, current, and/or future execution of secondary copy operations by secondary storage computing device(s) in the information management system. Using some or all of this data, the storage manager can train an artificial intelligence model (e.g., a neural network) to classify whether a current or future secondary copy operation job is likely to succeed or fail. Similarly, the storage manager can use some or all of this data to train another artificial intelligence model (e.g., a machine learning model) to predict the length of time for a current or future secondary copy operation job to complete. The trained models can be used to predict whether a performance metric will be satisfied.

  • Patent number: 12499370
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to system and method for determining explainability of machine predicted decisions. Typical explainable AI (XAI) solutions are limited by type of data processed, such as structured, semi-structured and unstructured text. In addition, due to limited automation of the process of explainability, typical systems are cumbersome and time-consuming. The system and method provide an end to end solution for automating the determination of explainability of machine predicted decisions. The XAI process output an absolute relevance score indicative of relevance of the features associated with the prediction which is indicative of percentage relevance/contribution of individual feature. The system further computes relative relevance score of the features by adding up all the features and calculating how much each individual feature is contributing to the total score. The relative relevance scores are utilized for determining explainability of decisions of the prediction.
