  • Patent number: 11979007
    Abstract: An anti-rotation device is provided for stringing a cable or wire while reducing a twisting moment of the cable or wire as it is strung. The device includes a tow component, having multiple tow sections pivotally connectable end-to-end. A plurality of insulated weighted tail components are suspended so as to hang from the tow component. Each of the insulated tail components include weighted tail sections releasably connectable end-to-end to one another. At least one electrically insulated tail section is provided in each insulated tail component between the tow component and the weighted tail sections. The tail components are constrained to only articulate relative to the tow component in the single plane of bending of the tow component.

  • Patent number: 11620550
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for leveraging cognitive systems to facilitate the automated data table discovery for automated machine learning, and, more specifically, to leveraging a trained cognitive system to automatically search for additional data in an external data source that may be merged with an initial user-selected data table to generate a more robust machine learning model. Manual efforts to find and validate data appropriate for building and training a particular model for a particular task are significantly reduced. Specifically, a learning-based approach to leverage with machine learning models to automatically discover related datasets and join the datasets for a given initial dataset is disclosed herein. Operations that include dataset selection facilitate continued reinforcement learning of the systems.

  • Publication number: 20220366269
    Abstract: A dataset including features and values associated with the features can be received. Each of the features in the dataset can be mapped to a corresponding node in a knowledge graph based on the concept represented by the corresponding node. The knowledge graph can be traversed to find a candidate node connected to at least one mapped node, the candidate node not being mapped to a feature in the dataset. A concept associated with the candidate node can be identified as a new feature. A machine learning model pipeline can use the features in the dataset and the new feature to select a subset of features for training a machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11074728
    Abstract: A conditional parallel coordinate visualization system is provided. The system presents a parallel coordinate visualization that includes a set of parallel main axes that respectively correspond to a set of main dimensions. The system receives a first multivariate data including values at the set of main dimensions. The first multivariate data has a first additional data that includes values in a first set of sub-dimensions. The first set of sub-dimensions is associated with a first predicate value at a first predicate dimension in the set of main dimensions. The system presents the first multivariate data as a polyline that intersects the set of parallel main axes. Upon a selection of an option item, the system unfolds the parallel coordinate visualization to reveal a first set of parallel sub-axes that correspond to the first set of sub-dimensions. The system presents the first additional data at the first set of parallel sub-axes.

  • Patent number: 9084329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control device adapted to control properties of light emitted from a light source. The control device may comprise a touch-sensitive user interface adapted to visually indicate a range of available values representing at least one of the properties and to enable a user to control the represented property on the basis of a location touched on the touch-sensitive user interface. The controlled property may be adjusted by means of a communication unit adapted to communicate to the light source control signals corresponding to user input. The user interface may comprise at least one discontinuity-indicating element adapted to visually indicate a step discontinuity in the range of available values representing the at least one property.
