Patent number: 10671928Abstract: The methods include, for instance: building model connections between models in a knowledgebase, which stores case data as model networks. An exploration probability stored in the knowledgebase indicates a likelihood of new connections based on a case data input to be employed for an analytical model of the case data input, which includes numerous stages and multiple model choices in each stage. Based on the new connections and model networks of the knowledgebase, paths are created and performance of respective paths/connections are evaluated. A predefined number of top performing paths are selected and the models and attributes that do not appear in the top performing paths are eliminated from the knowledgebase. Probabilities of model networks and a future case data input are updated accordingly and a best-fit model for the case data input is presented to a user.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2016Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Raphael Ezry, Munish Goyal, Jingzi Tan, Shobhit Varshney

Patent number: 10534866Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generate an intelligent persona agent for use in designing a product. One or more processors input a persona specification into an intelligent persona agent generator. The persona specification describes attributes of a set of model users of a particular type of product, and the intelligent personal agent generator creates an intelligent persona agent that is a software-based version of the set of model users. The intelligent persona agent monitors intermediate design choices taken during a design of a product of the particular type of product by a design team. In response to the intelligent persona agent identifying an intermediate design choice that will lead to a feature that is in conflict with the persona specification of the intelligent persona agent, designers modify the intermediate design choice, which modifies the design of the product in order to create an improved product design.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adam Bogue, Daniel M.
