  • Publication number: 20240362498
    Abstract: A system includes an agent engine, an encoder, a general-purpose solver engine, and an orchestrator. The orchestrator is configured to receive a first problem instance corresponding to a learned policy that is based on auto reinforcement learning, and provide the first problem instance to the general-purpose solver engine, which is configured to execute based on the first problem instance to determine a solver state. The orchestrator is configured to extract, from the general-purpose solver engine, the solver state, and to provide the solver state to the encoder. The encoder is configured to query the agent engine for a best action according to the learned policy and an encoded solver state. The agent engine is configured to determine the best action according to the learned policy and the encoded solver state. The orchestrator is configured to receive the best action, and direct the general-purpose solver to implement the best action.

  • 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.
