  • Publication number: 20220358528
    Abstract: An apparatus has a memory with processor-executable instructions and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The apparatus receives datasets including time series data points that are descriptive of a feature of a given entity. The processor determines a time series characteristic based on the data content, and selects, based on the determined characteristic, a set of entrant forecasting models from a pool of forecasting models stored in the memory. Next, the processor trains each entrant forecasting model with the time series data points to produce a set of trained entrant forecasting models. The processor executes each trained entrant forecasting model to generate a set of forecasted values indicating estimations of the feature of the given entity. Thereafter the processor selects at least one forecasting model from the set of trained entrant forecasting models based on computed accuracy evaluations performed over the set of forecasted values.

  • Publication number: 20210390455
    Abstract: The subject matter of this disclosure relates to systems and methods for monitoring and managing machine learning models and related data. Histogram structures can be used to aggregate streams of numerical data for storage and metric calculations. Drift in such data can be identified and monitored over time. When significant drift is detected and/or when model accuracy has deteriorated, models can be automatically refreshed with updated training data and/or replaced with one or more other models. A model controller is used to automate model monitoring and management activities across multiple prediction environments where models are deployed and prediction jobs are executed.

  • Patent number: 7389561
    Abstract: A tandem windshield wiper system that includes at least one brushless DC motor to provide drive torque through an output that is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the motor. A first windshield wiper assembly having a first lever arm is driven by the motor about the longitudinal axis in a repeated wiping motion across the surface of a windshield. A second windshield wiper assembly spaced apart from the first windshield wiper assembly has a second lever arm and is rotatable about a second longitudinal axis to operative move in a repeated wiping motion across the surface of the windshield. A connecting arm is also included that is operatively disposed between the first and the second lever arms that is adapted to translate the drive torque provided to the first windshield wiper assembly to the second windshield wiper assembly. The motor includes a planetary gear set having an output shaft.
