  • Publication number: 20180240041
    Abstract: A computing device automatically selects hyperparameter values based on objective criteria to train a predictive model. Each session of a plurality of sessions executes training and scoring of a model type using an input dataset in parallel with other sessions of the plurality of sessions. Unique hyperparameter configurations are determined using a search method and assigned to each session. For each session of the plurality of sessions, training of a model of the model type is requested using a training dataset and the assigned hyperparameter configuration, scoring of the trained model using a validation dataset and the assigned hyperparameter configuration is requested to compute an objective function value, and the received objective function value and the assigned hyperparameter configuration are stored. A best hyperparameter configuration is identified based on an extreme value of the stored objective function values.

  • Patent number: 10057079
    Abstract: Techniques described herein provide wireless building automation. Embodiments include receiving, by a computing device, a feature setting command associated with a peripheral device from a controlling device. The computing device may identify a peripheral application corresponding to the feature setting command, and transform the feature setting command into a generic command. The computing device may translate the generic control protocol of the generic command to a peripheral control protocol associated with the peripheral application in response to a determination that the peripheral application is a non-native application. The computing device may execute the peripheral application based on the generic command in the peripheral control protocol to generate a command for performance of a certain task on the peripheral device.

  • Patent number: 10049302
    Abstract: A computing device trains models for streaming classification. A baseline penalty value is computed that is inversely proportional to a square of a maximum explanatory variable value. A set of penalty values is computed based on the baseline penalty value. For each penalty value of the set of penalty values, a classification type model is trained using the respective penalty value and the observation vectors to compute parameters that define a trained model, the classification type model is validated using the respective penalty value and the observation vectors to compute a validation criterion value that quantifies a validation error, and the validation criterion value, the respective penalty value, and the parameters that define a trained model are stored to the computer-readable medium. The classification type model is trained to predict the response variable value of each observation vector based on the respective explanatory variable value of each observation vector.

  • Publication number: 20180202400
    Abstract: A resilient seal member disposed in an alignment groove of an accumulator body centers the accumulator body in an oversized accumulator bore of a cylinder head to prevent assembly damage. The seal member can compress to allow the accumulator body to move off center within the accumulator bore so that an end may be received by and form a seal with a port of a fuel injector. The alignment groove and the seal member are configured so that cooling fluid can flow past the seal member when the accumulator body is installed. In one implementation, the accumulator body includes at least one fluid flow channel at the alignment groove having a depth greater than the alignment groove so fluid can flow through the channel to pass the seal member.

  • Publication number: 20180192248
    Abstract: Once a proximity beacon is installed within a venue, mobile devices receive signals transmitted by the proximity beacon. These mobile devices then report their own locations to an application server. These mobile devices also report a signal strength to the application server, the signal strength associated with the signal from the proximity beacon. The application server determines the location of the proximity beacon by triangulating based on the locations of the mobile devices and on the signal strengths from the mobile devices. The location of the proximity beacon is then transmitted to a front-end device that then displays the location of the proximity beacon on a map along with other locations of other proximity beacons. The map may also display range areas and battery levels of the proximity beacon, and any other data that can be gathered by the application server from the mobile devices or the proximity beacon.
