  • Patent number: 12051002
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processor, an input data set. The input data set includes a plurality of features. The method includes determining, by the processor, one or more characteristics of the input data set. The method includes, based on the one or more characteristics, adjusting, by the processor, one or more architectural parameters of an automated model generation process.

  • Publication number: 20210390416
    Abstract: A method includes generating, by a processor of a computing device, an output set of models corresponding to a first epoch of a genetic algorithm and based on an input set of models of the first epoch.
