  • Patent number: 11366990
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-implemented method for performing unsupervised time-series feature learning. The method generates a set of reference time-series of random lengths, in which each length is uniformly sampled from a predetermined minimum length to a predetermined maximum length, and in which values of each reference time-series in the set are drawn from a distribution. The method generates a feature matrix for raw time-series data based on a set of computed distances between the generated set of reference time-series and the raw time-series data. The method provides the feature matrix as an input to one or more machine learning models.

  • Patent number: 11301773
    Abstract: Techniques that facilitate time series analysis using machine learning are provided. In one example, a system includes a matrix generation component, a matrix factorization component and a machine learning component. The matrix generation component converts at least a first stream of time series data and a second stream of time series data (e.g., raw time series data) into a data matrix (e.g., a partially-observed similarity matrix) that comprises void data and numerical data associated with the first stream of time series data and the second stream of time series data. The matrix factorization component factorizes the data matrix into a first factorization data matrix and a second factorization data matrix. The machine learning component processes a machine learning model based on first matrix data associated with the first factorization data matrix and second matrix data associated with the second factorization data matrix.

  • Patent number: 10678800
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating prediction data are described. In an example, a processor may retrieve preferential data from a memory. The preferential data may include a set of preferences that corresponds to a first subset of objects among a set of objects, and may exclude preferences associated with a second subset of objects among the set of objects. Each preference may indicate a preferred object between a respective pair of objects among the first subset of objects. The processor may determine first predicted ratings corresponding to the first subset of objects based on the preferential data. The processor may determine second predicted ratings corresponding to the second subset of objects based on the preferential data. The processor may generate prediction data by populating entries of the prediction data with the first and second predicted ratings, where the prediction data may include predicted ratings of the set of objects.

  • Patent number: 10395182
    Abstract: A method for generating a classification model using original data that is sensitive or private to a data owner. The method includes: receiving, from one or more entities, a masked data set having masked data corresponding to the original sensitive data, and further including a masked feature label set for use in classifying the masked data contents; forming a shared data collection of the masked data and the masked feature label sets received; and training, by a second entity, a classification model from the shared masked data and feature label sets, wherein the classification model learned from the shared masked data and feature label sets is the same as a classification model learned from the original sensitive data. The sensitive features and labels cannot be reliably recovered even when both the masked data and the learning algorithm are known.
