Patent number: 8521664Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, for selecting a trained predictive models. A request is received from a client-subscriber computing system for access to a trained predictive model that can generate a predictive output in response to receiving input data having one or more input types. Information that describes each of the trained predictive models in a predictive model repository can be used to determine that one or more models included in the repository match the request. Determining a match can be based (at least in part) on a comparison of the one or more input types to input types included in the information that describes the trained predictive models. Access is provided to at least one of the models to the client-subscriber computing system. The models that match the request are models that were trained using training data provided by a computing system other than the client-subscriber computing system.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Wei-Hao Lin, Travis H.
