Patent number: 11620550Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dakuo Wang, Mo Yu, Arunima Chaudhary, Chuang Gan, Qian Pan, Daniel Karl I.

Publication number: 20220366269Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2021Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Dakuo Wang, Udayan Khurana, Daniel Karl I.

Patent number: 11074728Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Daniel Karl I.
