Abstract: In unsupervised interpretable machine learning, one or more datasets having multiple features can be received. A machine can be trained to jointly cluster and interpret resulting clusters of the dataset by at least jointly clustering the dataset into clusters and generating hyperplanes in a multi-dimensional feature space of the dataset, where the hyperplanes separate pairs of the clusters, where a hyperplane separates a pair of clusters. Jointly clustering the dataset into clusters and generating hyperplanes can repeat until convergence, where the clustering in a subsequent iteration uses the generated hyperplanes from a previous iteration to optimize performance of the clustering. The hyperplanes can be adjusted to further improve the performance of the clustering. The clusters and interpretation of the clusters can be provided, where a cluster's interpretation is provided based on hyperplanes that construct a polytope containing the cluster.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating a classifier engine for machine learning includes receiving a set of data points. A semi-supervised k-means process is applied to the set of data points from each class. The set of data points in a class is clustered into multiple clusters of data points, using the semi-supervised k-means process. Multi-polytopes are constructed for one or more of the clusters from all classes. A support vector machine (SVM) process is run on every pair of clusters from all classes. Separation hyperplanes are determined for the clustered classes. Labels are determined for each cluster based on the separation by hyperplanes.

Abstract: A computing device includes a processor and a storage device. A wafer asset modeling module is stored in the storage device and is executed by the processor to configure the computing device to perform acts identifying and clustering a plurality of assets based on static properties of a wafer asset using a first module of the wafer asset modeling module. The clustered plurality of assets is determined based on dynamic properties of the wafer asset using a second module of the wafer asset modeling module. Event prediction is performed by converting a numeric data of the clustered plurality of assets to a natural language processing (NLP) domain by a third module of the wafer asset modeling module. One or more sequence-to-sequence methods are performed to predict a malfunction of a component of the wafer asset and/or an event based on past patterns. Prediction information is stored in the storage device.

Abstract: A sub-process sequence is identified from a temporal dataset. Based on time information, predictors are categorized as being available or not available during time periods. The predictors are used to make predictions of quantities that will occur in a future time period. The predictors are grouped into groups of a sequence of sub-processes, each including a grouping of one or more of the predictors. Information is output that allows a human being to modify the groups. The groups are finalized, responsive to any modifications. Prediction models are extracted based on dependencies between groups and sub-processes. A final predication model is determined based on a prediction model from the prediction models that best meets criteria. A dependency graph is generated based on the final prediction model. Information is output to display the final dependency graph for use by a user to adjust or not adjust elements of the sequential process.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of preparing process data for use in an artificial intelligence (AI) model includes collecting and storing raw data as episodic data for each episode of a process. An episode data generator assigns an episode identifier each set of episodic data. The raw data per episode is transformed into a standardized episodic data format that is usable by the AI model. Metrics are assigned to the episodic data and the episodic data is aggregated in an episode store. The data in the episode store is used by a feature extraction and learning module to extract and rank features.

The method includes calculating asset health scores for a plurality of assets in an infrastructure. The asset health scores change as a function of time. The method also includes identifying prescription options for the assets. The identifying is based on the asset health scores. The prescription options include cost, value, and time for execution.
