  • Patent number: 12743487
    Abstract: A computer system and associated processes are disclosed for grouping similar real estate properties into contiguous neighborhoods, and for generating neighborhood-specific models capable of estimating property values within their respective neighborhoods. A clustering component uses various sources of property-level data to group properties based on measures of property similarity. For example, the clustering component may measure property similarity based on how frequently specific properties are designated as comparable in appraisal reports. A model generator uses a machine learning process to determine, for specific neighborhoods, correlations between property attributes and values, and uses these correlations to generate the neighborhood specific models.

  • Patent number: 12743062
    Abstract: Embodiments control and optimize batch processes. An embodiment obtains and standardizes historical operating data from a plurality of batch production runs of an industrial process. For each batch production run, the standardized operating data corresponding to the batch is partitioned into one or more stages and one or more signature for each stage is determined using the partitioned standardized data. Each determined signature is associated with a class label based upon whether output of a batch run corresponding to the signature conforms or does not conform with operational standards. A model is trained, with at least a subset of the signatures as inputs and associated class labels as outputs, to predict, based on operating data from a real-world batch process, whether output of the process will conform or not conform with the operational standards. Online predictions can be automatically or manually applied to control and optimize a batch production run.

Finally, an optimization step (OPT) allows target operating points to be determined for each turbine. The optimization step implements optimization of an expected value of the energy generated for the entire wind speed and a direction distribution according to an expected value of the load of each turbine for the entire wind speed and direction distribution. The target operating points (target yaw angles for example) are then applied to the turbines of the wind farm (CON).
