Patent number: 12639620Abstract: A method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes defining a proposal for a proposed machine learning model, identifying an existing machine learning model, where the existing machine learning model shares a similarity with the proposed machine learning model, evaluating a fitness of the existing machine learning model for reuse in building the proposed machine learning model, building a new machine learning model that is consistent with the proposal for the proposed machine learning model by reusing a portion of the existing machine learning model, and monitoring a performance of the new machine learning model in a deployment environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 26, 2026Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Cuong Vo, Jeremy Fix, Jeffrey Dix, Eric Zavesky, Abhay Dabholkar, Rudolph Mappus, James Pratt
