  • Patent number: 11934922
    Abstract: A computer system, product, and method are provided. The computer system includes an artificial intelligence (AI) platform operatively coupled to a processor. The AI platform includes tools in the form of a machine learning model (MLM) manager, a metric manager, and a training manager. The MLM manager accesses a plurality of pre-trained source MLMs, and inputs a plurality of data objects of a test dataset into each of the source MLMs. The test dataset includes the plurality of data objects associated with respective labels. For each source MLM, associated labels are generated from the inputted data objects and a similarity metric is calculated. The MLM manager selects a base MLM to be used for transfer learning from the plurality of source MLMs based upon the calculated similarity metric. The training manager trains the selected base MLM with a target dataset for the target domain.

  • Publication number: 20230326186
    Abstract: An automated data labeling method, system, and computer program product that includes composing a semantically-named anchor vector derived from a source dataset into a sequence that defines a location description for target data items based on a generalization of distances into Cayley-Menger content and outputting a label for a target data item based on the location description.

  • Publication number: 20210174191
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for fine-tuning a pre-trained neural network for transfer learning, the method comprising obtaining a first target feature vector from a first layer of a pre-trained neural network responsive to a first target data element of a target dataset passing therethrough, obtaining a first source feature vector associated with the first layer of the pre-trained neural network, calculating a first divergence value for the first layer of the pre-trained neural network based at least in part on the first target feature vector and the first source feature vector, and setting a learning rate for the first layer of the pre-trained neural network based at least in part on the first divergence value.

  • Publication number: 20190354850
    Abstract: Techniques regarding autonomously facilitating the selection of one or more transfer models to enhance the performance of one or more machine learning tasks are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an assessment component that can assess a similarity metric between a source data set and a sample data set from a target machine learning task. The computer executable components can also comprise an identification component that can identify a pre-trained neural network model associated with the source data set based on the similarity metric to perform the target machine learning task.

  • Publication number: 20170185913
    Abstract: An information processing system, a computer readable storage medium, and a method for comparing training data with test data. The method can include collecting by a processor of a machine learning system, training data having meta-data information used for training the machine learning system, and test data lacking meta-data information. The method can further include training the machine learning system with the training data, extracting components of the machine learning system from analysis of the training data to provide a training data extraction, extracting components of the machine learning system from analysis of the test data to provide a test data extraction, performing at least a low-dimensional comparison of the training data extraction with the test data extraction using a statistical comparison technique, and generating meta-data information for the test data when the low-dimensional comparison meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 8407164
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods can operate to provide efficient data clustering, data classification, and data compression. A method comprises training set of training instances can be processed to select a subset of size-1 patterns, initialize a weight of each size-1 pattern, include the size-1 patterns in classes in a model associated with the training set, and then include a set of top-k size-2 patterns in a way that provides an effective balance between local, class, and global significance patterns. A method comprises processing a dataset to compute an overall significance value of each size-2 pattern in each instance in the dataset, sort the size-2 patterns, and select the top-k size-2 patterns to be represented in clusters, which can be refined into a clustered hierarchy. A method comprises creating an uncompressed bitmap, reordering the bitmap, and compressing the bitmap. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
