  • Patent number: 11861490
    Abstract: A machine learning environment utilizing training data generated by customer environments. A reinforced learning machine learning environment receives and processes training data generated by independently hosted, or decoupled, customer environments. The reinforced learning machine learning environment corresponds to machine learning clusters that receive and process training data sets provided by the decoupled customer environments. The customer environments include an agent process that collects training data and forwards the training data to the machine learning clusters without exposing the customer environment. The machine learning clusters can be configured in a manner to automatically process the training data without requiring additional user inputs or controls to configured the application of the reinforced learning machine learning processes.

  • Patent number: 11853390
    Abstract: Techniques for evaluating an output of a machine learning model and using the evaluation to retrain the machine learning model are described. For example, a data set that is output from a layer of the machine learning model is reduced to a 2-D or 3-D representation that is suitable for viewing. A user views the reduced data set in a viewing environment such as virtual reality or augmented reality. The user makes changes using that viewing environment. The changes are then used to retrain the machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20230126005
    Abstract: Consistency metadata, including a parameter for a pseudo-random number source, are determined for training-and-evaluation iterations of a machine learning model. Using the metadata, a first training set comprising records of at least a first chunk is identified from a plurality of chunks of a data set. The first training set is used to train a machine learning model during a first training-and-evaluation iteration.

  • Publication number: 20220391763
    Abstract: A machine learning service implements programmatic interfaces for a variety of operations on several entity types, such as data sources, statistics, feature processing recipes, models, and aliases. A first request to perform an operation on an instance of a particular entity type is received, and a first job corresponding to the requested operation is inserted in a job queue. Prior to the completion of the first job, a second request to perform another operation is received, where the second operation depends on a result of the operation represented by the first job. A second job, indicating a dependency on the first job, is stored in the job queue. The second job is initiated when the first job completes.

    Abstract: At a machine learning service, a set of candidate variables that can be used to train a model is identified, including at least one processed variable produced by a feature processing transformation. A cost estimate indicative of an effect of implementing the feature processing transformation on a performance metric associated with a prediction goal of the model is determined. Based at least in part on the cost estimate, a feature processing proposal that excludes the feature processing transformation is implemented.
