  • Patent number: 11836137
    Abstract: An event query host can include an event processor configured to process an event stream indicating events that occurred on a computing device. The event processor can add representations of events to an event graph. If an event added to the event graph is a trigger event associated with a query, the event processor can also add an instance of the query to a query queue. The query queue can be sorted based on scheduled execution times of query instances. At a scheduled execution time of a query instance in the query queue, a query manager of the event query host can execute the query instance and attempt to find a corresponding pattern of one or more events in the event graph.

  • Publication number: 20230385687
    Abstract: Approaches for training data set size estimation for machine learning model systems and applications are described. Examples include a machine learning model training system that estimates target data requirements for training a machine learning model, given an approximate relationship between training data set size and model performance using one or more validation score estimation functions. To derive a validation score estimation function, a regression data set is generated from training data, and subsets of the regression data set are used to train the machine learning model. A validation score is computed for the subsets and used to compute regression function parameters to curve fit the selected regression function to the training data set. The validation score estimation function is then solved for and provides an output of an estimate of the number additional training samples needed for the validation score estimation function to meet or exceed a target validation score.
