Patent number: 11861469Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product, and system for creating a data analysis tool. The method may include a computing device that generates an AI pipeline based on an input dataset, wherein the AI pipeline is generated using an Automated Machine Learning program. The method may include converting the AI pipeline to a non-native format of the Automated Machine Learning program. This may enable the AI pipeline to be used outside of the Automated Machine Learning program, thereby increasing the usefulness of the created program by not tying it to the Automated Machine Learning program. Additionally, this may increase the efficiency of running the AI pipeline by eliminating unnecessary computations performed by the Automated Machine Learning program.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Daniel Kirchner, Gregory Bramble, Horst Cornelius Samulowitz, Dakuo Wang, Arunima Chaudhary, Gregory Filla

Publication number: 20220207444Abstract: A system and method for assessing Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) Automatic machine learned (AutoML) model pipeline charge to a user on the basis of performance improvement achieved by configuring a model pipeline with performance enhancements relative to a performance obtained by a base model pipeline. The method performs a ranking of pipelines (customized models) based on a user-specified metric (for example, prediction accuracy, run time, F1 score) or combination of metrics. The price for ranked pipelines is specified based on a “surrogate” model where the surrogate model is fit to the base model price and the maximum price for a model. The base model price relates to use of a current cloud resource utilization-based pricing model. The pricing per model pipeline increments on the basis of performance metric(s) in a linear fashion, e.g., using a linear pricing model, or in an exponential fashion, e.g., using a fixed percentage hike price model.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Gregory Bramble, Saket Sathe, Long Vu, Theodoros Salonidis, Horst Cornelius Samulowitz, Jean-François Puget
