  • Publication number: 20210117460
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating using flow graphs to represent a data analysis program in a cloud based system for open science collaboration and discovery are provided. In an example, a system can represent a data analysis execution as a flow graph where vertices of the flow graph represent function calls made during the data analysis program and edges between the vertices represent objects passed between the functions. In another example, the flow graph can then be annotated using an annotation database to label the recognized function calls and objects. In another example, the system can then semantically label the annotated flow graph by aligning the annotated graph with a knowledge base of data analysis concepts to provide context for the operations being performed by the data analysis program.

  • Publication number: 20200226181
    Abstract: Techniques for generating and searching semantic flow graphs are provided that include creating, by a system operatively coupled to a processor employing a semantic flow graph creation process, a semantic flow graph based on an ontology associated with a set of subjects and a raw flow graph determined from an analysis of a data set relating to the set of subjects and searching, by the system, the semantic flow graph to determine a subset of information of the semantic flow graph that is responsive to a query based on the query and information of the semantic flow graph.

  • Publication number: 20200184350
    Abstract: A post-processing method, system, and computer program product for post-hoc improvement of instance-level and group-level prediction metrics, including training a bias detector that learns to detect a sample that has an individual bias greater than a predetermined individual bias threshold value with constraints on a group bias, applying the bias detector on a run-time sample to select a biased sample in the run-time sample having a bias greater than the predetermined individual bias threshold bias value, and suggesting a de-biased prediction for the biased sample.

  • Patent number: 10628282
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating a raw flow graph based on execution of a program. A semantic flow graph is generated based on the raw flow graph and based on an ontology in a subject matter-domain associated with the program. The semantic flow graph illustrates one or more semantic concepts of the program.

  • Publication number: 20200074702
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating using a distribution system for incentivizing and accelerating data driven scientific research are described herein. The distribution system can track the input of various parties involved in scientific research, and when a reward, monetary or otherwise, is realized for one or more outcomes of the scientific research, the distribution system can distribute the reward among the parties that provided the input. The relative levels and contributions of the parties can be tracked to ensure that an equitable portioning of the reward is realized. A directed graph can be formed based on the transactions, wherein the nodes correspond to entities, researchers, publications, and the edges correspond to relationships between the entities. The directed graph can be analyzed to determine the relative or absolute levels of contributions from each of the entities, and the rewards can be distributed based on the contribution levels.
