  • Patent number: 10579938
    Abstract: The current subject matter describes a method and system of detecting frauds or anomalous behavior. The procedures include extracting characteristics from a dataset to generate words and documents, executing a topic model to obtain the respective probabilities of appearance of a document in each latent archetype, dividing the dataset into a plurality of subsets based upon the archetypes. The formed subsets are further utilized to estimate the quantiles and calculate scores using a self-calibrating outlier model. The score of each new transaction is determined based on a single archetype or based on the sum of weighted scores determined from all the archetypes and associated statistics. Such methods are superior to a simple self-calibration outlier model without an LDA archetype.

  • Patent number: 10572804
    Abstract: Methods and systems enable an omniphysical mind or descriptive self supportable by a computing device, to evaluate its current platform and seek a new or replacement platform. The descriptive system includes infrastructure for translating sensor readings into descriptive terms, comparing the descriptive terms with template requirements, and initiating an action as the result of the comparison. The descriptive system also includes infrastructure for communicating with other platforms to receive information representing functionality and/or sensor readings, to translate the information into descriptive terms, and compare the descriptive terms with template requirements. In evaluating a new or replacement platform, if template requirements are met the descriptive system reports a database that includes symbols, definitions of symbols, and processing rules, which are provided to the new/replacement system, the database comprising an infrastructure of an omniphysical mind.

  • Patent number: 10430690
    Abstract: A computing device predicts an event or classifies an observation. A trained labeling model is executed with unlabeled observations to define a label distribution probability matrix. A label is selected for each observation. A mean observation vector and a covariance matrix are computed from the unlabeled observations selected to have each respective label. A number of eigenvalues that have a smallest value is selected from each covariance matrix and used to define a null space for each respective label. A distance value is computed for a distance vector computed to the mean observation vector and projected into the null space associated with the label selected for each respective observation. A diversity rank is determined for each respective observation based on minimum computed distance values. A predefined number of observations having highest values for the diversity rank are included in labeled observations and removed from the unlabeled observations.

  • Patent number: 10423886
    Abstract: A method for electronic logging of carrier data is described. The method includes monitoring a vehicle motion status for a predetermined period and assigning a logical state to at least one duty status variable. A plurality of travel conditions capable of changing a transit period, such as weather, traffic, and construction are monitored, aggregated, and used to determine a predicted likelihood of changing the transit period. The likelihood of occurrence of a compliance rule violation is determined, based on the aggregated values, the predicted likelihood of changing the transit period, and a group of compliance rules. An indicator of the likelihood of occurrence of a compliance rule violation may be generated, and presented to any number of electronic devices. Remedial actions to avoid or mitigate the compliance rule violation may be suggested.

  • Patent number: 10410128
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and servers for friend recommendation are provided. A user association set of a target user is obtained. Original data of each associated user in the user association set is obtained. The original data include location relationship data, associated friend data, time relationship data, or combinations thereof, between each associated user and the target user. The original data of each associated user is screened to obtain feature data to form a feature collection for each associated user. A pre-configured N-Tree prediction model is used to process the feature collection for a prediction calculation to obtain an association-predicting value for each associated user. According to the association-predicting value of each associated user, a friend user for the target user from the user association set is determined and recommended to the target user.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for customizable machine learning models. In some implementations, data is received, including (i) example data sets and (ii) data specifying one or more criteria to be assessed. A set of multiple models is trained, where each model in the set of models is trained using a training data set comprising a different subset of the example data sets. Output of the models is obtained for various example data sets, and a combination of n-grams is selected based on the outputs. The example data sets are used to train a classifier to evaluate input data with respect to the specified one or more criteria based on whether the input data includes the n-grams in the selected combination of n-grams.

  • Patent number: 10379502
    Abstract: An unsupervised machine learning model can make prediction on time series data. Variance of time-varying parameters for independent variables of the model may be restricted for continuous consecutive time intervals to minimize overfitting. The model may be used in a control system to control other devices or systems. If predictions for the control system are for a higher granularity time interval than the current mode, the time-varying parameters of the model are modified for the higher granularity time interval.

  • Patent number: 10366333
    Abstract: Embodiments associate a relevant semantic data type (e.g., date) with incoming raw data (e.g., a column of digits) which lacks metadata. Assignment of semantic data type is inferred from a plurality of features. A first step determines a first feature comprising success rate in converting the raw data into various semantic data types. Then, alignment between observed/reference distributions of other features (e.g., data first digit, data length) is determined per-semantic data type. Total scores for each semantic data type are calculated from the combined features, and used as a basis for ranking the semantic data types. The total scores may reflect a weighting of the various features. In a second step, top-ranked semantic data types may be further differentiated from one another by applying additional features. User feedback regarding accuracy of semantic data type assignment, may be incorporated into training data used to modify the feature reference distributions.

  • Patent number: 10354204
    Abstract: A computing device automatically classifies an observation vector. A label set defines permissible values for a target variable. Supervised data includes a labeled subset that has one of the permissible values. A converged classification matrix is computed based on the supervised data and an unlabeled subset using a prior class distribution matrix that includes a row for each observation vector. Each column is associated with a single permissible value of the label set. A cell value in each column is a likelihood that each associated permissible value of the label set occurs based on prior class distribution information. The value of the target variable is selected using the converged classification matrix. A weighted classification label distribution matrix is computed from the converged classification matrix. The value of the target variable for each observation vector of the plurality of observation vectors is output to a labeled dataset.
