Publication number: 20220366269Abstract: A dataset including features and values associated with the features can be received. Each of the features in the dataset can be mapped to a corresponding node in a knowledge graph based on the concept represented by the corresponding node. The knowledge graph can be traversed to find a candidate node connected to at least one mapped node, the candidate node not being mapped to a feature in the dataset. A concept associated with the candidate node can be identified as a new feature. A machine learning model pipeline can use the features in the dataset and the new feature to select a subset of features for training a machine learning model.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2021Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Dakuo Wang, Udayan Khurana, Daniel Karl I.

Publication number: 20220051049Abstract: A computer automatically selects a machine learning model pipeline using a meta-learning machine learning model. The computer receives ground truth data and pipeline preference metadata. The computer determines a group of pipelines appropriate for the ground truth data, and each of the pipelines includes an algorithm. The pipelines may include data preprocessing routines. The computer generates hyperparameter sets for the pipelines. The computer applies preprocessing routines to ground truth data to generate a group of preprocessed sets of said ground truth data and ranks hyperparameter set performance for each pipeline to establish a preferred set of hyperparameters for each of pipeline. The computer selects favored data features and applies each of the pipelines, with associated sets of preferred hyperparameters, to score the favored data features of the preprocessed ground truth data. The computer ranks pipeline performance and selects a candidate pipeline according to the ranking.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2020Publication date: February 17, 2022Inventors: Dakuo Wang, Chuang Gan, Gregory Bramble, Lisa Amini, Horst Cornelius Samulowitz, Kiran A.

Patent number: 8321865Abstract: A keyed delay is used in the processing of streaming data to decrease the processing performed and the output provided. A first event, within a particular window, having a particular key starts a delay condition. Arriving events with the same key replace the previous arrival for that key until the delay condition is satisfied. In response thereto, the latest event with that key is output.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2009Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Amini, Henrique Andrade, Mitchell A.

Patent number: 8112541Abstract: A system and method for dynamically building applications for stream processing includes providing processing elements with a flow specification describing each input and a stream description describing each output such that the flow specification indicates a stream or streams which are to be received based on processing information and the stream descriptions indicate the processing information. Processing elements that can be reused are identified by determining equivalence between the processing elements. Processing elements that are new and are not reusable are instantiated in a flow graph. An application is dynamically composed, using the instantiated processing elements by routing available streams to the instantiated processing elements in accordance with the flow specifications.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2008Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Amini, Henrique C.
