  • Patent number: 12632793
    Abstract: There is a need for solutions that classification solutions in hierarchical prediction domains. This need can be addressed by, for example, performing one or more online machine learning, co-occurrence analysis machine learning, structured fusion machine learning, and unstructured fusion machine learning. In one example, structured predictions inputs are processed in accordance with an online machine learning analysis to generate structurally hierarchical predictions and in accordance with a co-occurrence analysis machine learning analysis to generate structurally non-hierarchical predictions. Then, the structurally hierarchical predictions and the structurally non-hierarchical predictions in accordance with processed by a structured fusion model to generate structure-based predictions.

  • Patent number: 12327489
    Abstract: A surgical training model can have features for training surgical suturing techniques. The training model can be formed as a sheet of simulated tissue having at least one cut with markings arranged on either side of the cut. The markings can be formed of a first layer of resilient simulated tissue material having a color that contrasts with a color of the remainder of the sheet of simulated tissue material. The sheet of simulated tissue material can have several cuts having different configurations and orientations to facilitate suturing training for a variety of tissue orientations. The sheet of simulated tissue material can further include holes positioned to be mounted to a base of a surgical training system. The sheet of simulated tissue material can be manufactured by molding a marking layer and casting a tissue layer over the marking layer.

  • Publication number: 20240256832
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure describe data evaluation techniques that leverage a graph-based machine learning model to evaluate a knowledge graph. The techniques include using a target graph model to generate a predictive representation for a graph node of a graph training dataset. The techniques include using a feature prediction model to generate predicted feature values for the graph node based on the predictive representation. The techniques include generating a data evaluation score for the graph training dataset based on the predicted feature values. The techniques include using the target graph model to generate a predictive output for the graph node based on the predictive representation and then generating an evaluation output for the target graph model based on the evaluation score and the predictive output.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure describe holistic machine learning model evaluation techniques. The techniques include determining a holistic evaluation vector for a target machine learning model based on a plurality of evaluation scores for the target machine learning model. The plurality of evaluation scores may include a data evaluation score corresponding to a training dataset for the target machine learning model, a model evaluation score corresponding to one or more performance metrics for the target machine learning model, and a decision evaluation score corresponding to an output class of the target machine learning model. A holistic evaluation score for the target machine learning model may be determined from the holistic evaluation vector or a plurality of evaluation scores. An informed evaluation output is provided based on the holistic vector or score.

  • Publication number: 20240249158
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure describe machine learning monitoring and retraining techniques for automatically triggering model retraining based on evaluation scores. The techniques include receiving a request to process an input data object with a target machine learning model that is previously trained using an at least partially synthetic training dataset. The techniques include identifying a synthetic data object from the training dataset that corresponds to the input data object and, in response, modifying a holistic evaluation score for the model, initiating the performance of a labeling process for assigning a ground truth label to the input data object, and augmenting a supplemental training dataset with the input data object and the ground truth label. In the event that the holistic evaluation score decreased beyond a threshold, the model may be retrained with the supplemental training dataset.
