  • Patent number: 12169776
    Abstract: Techniques of facilitating deep learning model rescaling by computing devices. In one example, a system can comprise a processor that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise: a rescaling component; and a forecasting component. The rescaling component can determine a scaling ratio that maps low mesh resolution predictive data output by a partial differential equation (PDE)-based model for a sub-domain to high-resolution observational or ground-truth data for a domain comprising the sub-domain. The forecasting component can generate high mesh resolution predictive data for the domain with a machine-learning model using input data of the PDE-based model and the scaling ratio.

  • Patent number: 12124961
    Abstract: A computing device configured for automatic selection of model parameters includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions to cause the processor to perform acts including providing an initial set of model parameters and initial condition information to a model based on historical data. A model generates data based on the model parameters and the initial condition information. After determining whether the model-generated data is similar to an observed data, updated model parameters are selected for input to the model based on the determined similarity.

  • Publication number: 20240193523
    Abstract: In an approach for a virtual assistant career mentor that provides a user with personalized career recommendations, a processor identifies a position a user wishes to achieve in a request for a personalized career recommendation. A processor compares a user profile of the user to a marketplace profile for the position to determine whether there are one or more gaps in the user profile that would prevent the user from achieving the position. Responsive to determining there is a gap in the user profile, a processor assigns the user a task to address the gap in the user profile. A processor generates a performance score using a reinforcement learning model. Responsive to updating the user profile with the performance score, a processor generates a recommendation using machine learning, wherein the recommendation includes a series of actions the user may take to achieve the position identified and an appropriate timeline.

  • Patent number: 11956138
    Abstract: An embodiment establishes a knowledge base based at least in part on sensor data received from a network. The embodiment generates a predicted performance parameter for a designated entity of the network using a first machine learning algorithm. The embodiment compares the predicted performance parameter to an actual performance parameter and determines whether the actual performance parameter exceeds a threshold difference from the predicted performance parameter. The embodiment generates, responsive to determining that the threshold difference is exceeded, incentive data using a second machine learning algorithm, where the incentive data is representative of an action selected by the second machine learning algorithm using an iterative optimization process, and where the iterative optimization process comprises performing the action and determining that the actual performance parameter approaches the threshold value in response to the action.

  • Publication number: 20240112442
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of analyzing a land region that has been decomposed into a plurality of regular or irregular sub-regions. The computer-implemented method includes applying, using a processor system, a feature extraction process that extracts a set of sub-region environmental descriptors for each of the plurality of sub-regions. The processor system applies a similarity analysis to the set of sub-region environmental descriptors to generate groups of the plurality of sub-regions. The processor system creates a plurality of group-based graphs by encoding each of the groups into a corresponding group-based graph. A spatio-temporal neural network is used to train a model based at least in part on the plurality of group-based graphs.

  • Patent number: 11880707
    Abstract: Job report objects (Java objects) are created by task executors in connection with implementation of a job on a storage system. The Java objects are passed to a job report service that converts the Java objects into XML objects using an XML encoder/decoder. The XML objects are persisted by the job report service as text in a database. If a job report is requested, the job report service retrieves a job record for the corresponding report from the database, creates Java objects, and passes the Java objects to a storage system management client. The client creates an internal model of the report containing a corresponding set of strongly typed TypeScript objects. The TypeScript objects are passed to a pdf data exporter that converts the internal TypeScript objects into untyped JavaScript objects. The untyped JavaScript objects are input to a .pdf generator which generates the requested report as a .pdf document.
