Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to health monitoring of systems, and more particularly to monitor health of a system for fault signature identification. The system estimates Health Index (HI) of the system as time series data. By analyzing data corresponding to the estimated HI, the system identifies one or more time windows in which majority of the estimated HI values are low as a low HI window, and one or more time windows in which majority of the estimated HI values are high as a high HI window. Upon identifying a low HI window, which indicates an abnormal behavior of the system being monitored, based on a local Bayesian Network generated for the system being monitored, an Explainability Index (EI) for each sensor is generated, wherein the EI quantifies contribution of the sensor to the low HI. Further, associated component(s) is identified as contributing to abnormal/faulty behavior of the system.

Abstract: Users have to assign labels to a ticket to route to right domain expert for resolving issue(s). In practice, labels are large and organized in form of a tree. Lack in clarity in problem description has resulted in inconsistent and incorrect labeling of data, making it hard for one to learn/interpret. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods that identify relevant queries to obtain user response, for identification of right category and ticket logging there. This is achieved by implementing attention based sequence to sequence (seq2seq) hierarchical classification model to assign the hierarchical categories to tickets, followed by a slot filling model to enable identifying/deciding right set of queries, if the top-k model predictions are not consistent. Further, training data for slot filling model is automatically generated based on attention weight in the hierarchical classification model.

Abstract: The most challenging problems in karyotyping are segmentation and classification of overlapping chromosomes in metaphase spread images. Often chromosomes are bent in different directions with varying degrees of bend. Tediousness and time consuming nature of the effort for ground truth creation makes it difficult to scale the ground truth for training phase. The present disclosure provides an end-to-end solution that reduces the cognitive burden of segmenting and karyotyping chromosomes. Dependency on experts is reduced by employing crowdsourcing while simultaneously addressing the issues associated with crowdsourcing. Identified segments through crowdsourcing are pre-processed to improve classification achieved by employing deep convolutional network (CNN).

Abstract: Business to Consumer (B2C) systems face a challenge of engaging users since offers are created using static rules generated using clustering on large transactional data generated over a period of time. Moreover, the offer creation and assignment engine is disjoint to the transactional system which led to significant gap between history used to create offers and current activity of users. Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a meta-model based configurable auto-tunable recommendation model generated by ensembling optimized machine learning and deep learning models to predict a user's likelihood to take an offer and deployed in real time. Furthermore, the offer given to the user is based on a current context derived from the user's recent behavior that makes the offer relevant and increases probability of conversion of the offer to a sale. The system achieves low recommendation latency and scalable high throughput by virtue of the architecture used.

The obtained representations are further used to identify contextual dependencies with in the one or more generated sequences which helps in resolving abstract anaphoric references in conversational systems.

Abstract: Estimating Remaining Useful Life (RUL) from multi-sensor time series data is difficult through manual inspection. Current machine learning and data analytics methods, for RUL estimation require large number of failed instances for training, which are rarely available in practice, and these methods cannot use information from currently operational censored instances since their failure time is unknown. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for estimating RUL using time series data by implementing an LSTM-RNN based ordinal regression technique, wherein during training RUL value of failed instance(s) is encoded into a vector which is given as a target to the model. Unlike a failed instance, the exact RUL for a censored instance is unknown. For using the censored instances, target vectors are generated and the objective function is modified for training wherein the trained LSTM-RNN based ordinal regression is applied on an input test time series for RUL estimation.

Abstract: Anomaly detection from time series is one of the key components in automated monitoring of one or more entities. Domain-driven sensor selection for anomaly detection is restricted by knowledge of important sensors to capture only a certain set of anomalies from the entire set of possible anomalies. Hence, existing anomaly detection approaches are not very effective for multi-dimensional time series. Embodiments of the present disclosure depict sparse neural network for anomaly detection in multi-dimensional time series (MDTS) corresponding to a plurality of parameters of entities. A reduced-dimensional time series is obtained from the MDTS via an at least one feedforward layer by using a dimensionality reduction model. The dimensionality reduction model and recurrent neural network (RNN) encoder-decoder model are simultaneously learned to obtain a multi-layered sparse neural network. A plurality of error vectors corresponding to at least one time instance of the MDTS is computed to obtain an anomaly score.

Abstract: Traditional systems and methods have implemented hand-crafted feature extraction from varying length time series that results in complexity and requires domain knowledge. Building classification models requires large labeled data and is computationally expensive. Embodiments of the present disclosure implement learning models for classification tasks in multi-dimensional time series by performing feature extraction from entity's parameters via unsupervised encoder and build a non-temporal linear classifier model. A fixed-dimensional feature vector is outputted using a pre-trained unsupervised encoder, which acts as off-the shelf feature extractor. Extracted features are concatenated to learn a non-temporal linear classification model and weight is assigned to each extracted feature during learning which helps to determine relevant parameters for each class. Mapping from parameters to target class is considered while constraining the linear model to use only subset of large number of features.
