Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for managing semiconductor manufacturing data is provided. A computing system receives an incoming data record generated by a semiconductor fabrication plant. The incoming data record includes at least one measured value and a set of context values. The computing system determines one or more context documents that represent the set of context values of the incoming data record. The computing system stores, in a data store, a decomposed fab process record that includes a representation of the at least one measured value and the one or more context documents.

Abstract: A method for analyzing time series sensor data of a physical system represented by a process graph retrieves sensor data streams from stored sensor time series data. Each of the sensor data streams comprises a sequence of time-value pairs and is associated with a sensor identifier, a time offset, and a sampling period. A metric data stream is produced from the retrieved sensor data streams in accordance with a stored physics model of the physical system. Producing the metric data stream includes i) synchronizing the sensor data streams by adjusting time offsets of the sensor data streams and adding interpolated values and times to the sensor data streams to produce synchronized streams with equal sampling periods; and ii) performing a point-wise computation over values of the sensor data streams in accordance with the physics model.

Abstract: A decision tree model is generated from sample data. A visualization system may automatically prune the decision tree model based on characteristics of nodes or branches in the decision tree or based on artifacts associated with model generation. For example, only nodes or questions in the decision tree receiving a largest amount of the sample data may be displayed in the decision tree. The nodes also may be displayed in a manner to more readily identify associated fields or metrics. For example, the nodes may be displayed in different colors and the colors may be associated with different node questions or answers.

Abstract: A system and method enables users to selectively expose and optionally monetize their data resources, for example on a web site. Data assets such as datasets and models can be exposed by the proprietor on a public gallery for use by others. Fees may be charged, for example, per new model, or per prediction using a model. Users may selectively expose public datasets or public models while keeping their raw data private.

Abstract: We describe a high-level computational framework especially well suited to parallel operations on large datasets. In a system in accordance with this framework, there is at least one, and generally several, instances of an architecture deployment as further described. We use the term “architecture deployment” herein to mean a cooperating group of processes together with the hardware on which the processes are executed. This is not to imply a one-to-one association of any process to particular hardware. To the contrary, as detailed below, an architecture deployment may dynamically spawn another deployment as appropriate, including provisioning needed hardware. The active architecture deployments together form a system that dynamically processes jobs requested by a user-customer, in accordance with customer's monetary budget and other criteria, in a robust and automatically scalable environment.

Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for advanced text analysis in the field of big data analytics and visualization: Users can now factor text into their predictive models, alongside regression, time/date and categorical information. This is ideal for building models where text content may play a prominent role (e.g., social media or customer service logs). Multiple data types, including text fields, may be combined together in datasets and models, and may be presented in various interactive visualization displays.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system and method for predictive modeling of data clusters. The system and method include creating a dataset from a data source comprising data points, identifying a number of clusters based at least in part on a similarity metric between the data points, generating a model for each of the number of clusters based at least in part on identifying the number of clusters, visually displaying the number of clusters, receiving an indication of selection of a particular cluster, and replacing the visual display of the identified number of clusters with a visual display of the model corresponding to the particular cluster in response to receiving an indication of selection of a model icon.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for building and using decision trees, preferably in a scalable and distributed manner. Our system can be used to create and use classification trees, regression trees, or a combination of regression trees called a gradient boosted regression tree (GBRT). Our system leverages approximate histograms in new ways to process large datasets, or data streams, while limiting inter-process communication bandwidth requirements. Further, in some embodiments, a scalable network of computers or processors is utilized for fast computation of decision trees. Preferably, the network comprises a tree structure of processors, comprising a master node and a plurality of worker nodes or “workers,” again arranged to limit necessary communications.
