  • Patent number: 10459962
    Abstract: Word vectors are multi-dimensional vectors that represent words in a corpus of text and that are embedded in a semantically-encoded vector space; paragraph vectors extend word vectors to represent, in the same semantically-encoded space, the overall semantic content and context of a phrase, sentence, paragraph, or other multi-word sample of text. Word and paragraph vectors can be used for sentiment analysis, comparison of the topic or content of samples of text, or other natural language processing tasks. However, the generation of word and paragraph vectors can be computationally expensive. Accordingly, word and paragraph vectors can be determined only for user-specified subsets of fields of incident reports in a database.

  • Patent number: 10339441
    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve a machine learning model representing relationships between a dependent variable and a plurality of n independent variables. The dependent variable may be a function of the n independent variables, where the n independent variables are measurable characteristics of computing devices, and where the dependent variable is a predicted behavior of the computing devices. The embodiment may also involve obtaining a target value of the dependent variable, and separating the n independent variables into n?1 independent variables with fixed values and a particular independent variable with an unfixed value. The embodiment may also involve performing a partial inversion of the function to produce a value of the particular independent variable such that, when the function is applied to the value of the particular independent variable and the n?1 independent variables with fixed values, the dependent variable is within a pre-defined range of the target value.

  • Publication number: 20190102683
    Abstract: A machine learning classifier may classify observations into one or more of i categories, and may be configured to: receive test data that includes j observations, each associated with a respective ground truth category, and produce output that provides, for each particular observation of the j observations, a set of i probabilities, one probability for each of the i categories. For each particular confidence threshold in k confidence thresholds, a computing device may: reclassify, into a null category, any of the j observations for which all of the set of i probabilities are less than the particular confidence threshold, and determine a respective precision value and a respective coverage value for a particular category of the i categories. A specific confidence threshold in the k confidence thresholds may be selected, and further observations may be reclassified into the null category in accordance with the specific confidence threshold.

  • Publication number: 20180322462
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using a mathematical model based on historical information to automatically schedule and monitor work flows are disclosed. Prediction methods that use some variables to predict unknown or future values of other variables may assist in reducing manual intervention when addressing incident reports or other task-based work items. For example, work items that are expected to conform to a supervised model built from historical customer information. Given a collection of records in a training set, each record contains a set of attributes with one of the attributes being the class. If a model can be found for the class attribute as a function of the values of the other attributes, then previously unseen records may be assigned a class as accurately as possible based on the model. A test data set is used to determine model accuracy prior to allowing general use of the model.

  • Patent number: 9582759
    Abstract: The present invention envisages a system and method for automating the generation of business decision analytic models. The system uses a plurality of predictor variables stored in a plurality of data sets, to automatically create a business decision analytic model. The system includes a processor configured to process the data sets and determine the total number of records present in each of the data sets and the number of columns containing only numerical values. The processor selects a column containing only numerical values, from a dataset under consideration, and counts the number of unique numerical values in the selected column, and the total number of records present in the selected column. The two counts are compared and the selected column is transformed using a non-linear transformation to obtain a column of transformed values. The transformed values and corresponding time stamps are utilized for the purpose of model generation.
