Publication number: 20240135241Abstract: In an approach, a processor receives, at an edge device running a local instance of a machine learning (ML) model, a set of inference data comprising a plurality of datapoints, wherein the local instance of the ML model is a deployed version of the ML model running in a cloud environment, and wherein the ML model was trained in the cloud environment and then deployed to the edge device. A processor runs the plurality of datapoints through one or more filters to determine a probability for each datapoint of whether a respective datapoint should be sent back to the cloud environment and used for retraining the ML model. A processor determines, for each datapoint, whether the probability for the respective datapoint meets a send back threshold that is required to be met before the respective datapoint is sent back to the cloud environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Janice Yang, Kate Hogan, Arnav Aggarwal, Ethan Weaver, John S.

Patent number: 11846679Abstract: Rechargeable battery monitoring and control is provided using a non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold. A non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold is obtained indicative of an operational state abnormality in a rechargeable battery cell, and during the operational state of the rechargeable battery cell, a control compares an actual voltage rate-of-change of the rechargeable battery cell to the non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold. Based on the actual voltage rate-of-change of the rechargeable battery cell exceeding the non-linear rate-of-change failure threshold, the control identifies the operational state abnormality in the rechargeable battery cell. Based on identifying the operational state abnormality in the rechargeable battery cell, the control discontinues the operational state of the rechargeable battery cell.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Noah Singer, John S.
