  • Composing and executing workflows made up of functional pluggable building blocks
    Patent number: 10423445
    Abstract: A platform that provides a way to automatically compose and execute even complex workflows without writing code is described. A set of pre-built functional building blocks can be provided. The building blocks perform data transformation and machine learning functions. The functional blocks have well known plug types. The building blocks can be composed build complex compositions. Input and output files are converted to a standard data type so that modules are pluggable.
    Type: Grant
