Publication number: 20230196138Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for configuring labelers, including machine learning labelers are provided. A declarative model describes a processing graph of labelers for a use case at logical level. The declarative model defines a configuration for each labeler in the processing graph of labelers in a declarative language. Each labeler in the processing graph of labelers can represent a wrapper on executable code. The declarative model is interpreted to implement the processing graph of labelers, which is executed to label a set of data records.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Ryan Michael McKay, Austin Lawless, Christopher Cotar

Publication number: 20230196204Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for agnostic machine learning inference are provided. A computer system, such as a labeling platform, uses a machine learning (ML) model inference configuration to configure an inference environment to use an ML model to process labeling requests. The ML model inference configuration is agnostic to the particulars of the ML platform being used. An adapter maps the ML model inference configuration to an ML platform specific format to instantiate a running system on a given platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Ryan Michael McKay, Fountain L.

Publication number: 20220308544Abstract: In some examples, a controller dynamically configures a property associated with monitoring performed by an agent. The controller stores, in a repository, metadata relating to the agent. The controller receives, from the agent, first sensor data that excludes the metadata, and uses indexing information in the first sensor data to retrieve the metadata from the repository.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Torsten Wilde, Jeffrey C. Hanson, Aamir Arshad Rashid, Michael McKay

Publication number: 20210192394Abstract: Systems, methods and products for optimization of a machine learning labeler. In one method, labeling requests are received and corresponding label inferences are generated using a champion model. A portion of the labeling requests and corresponding inferences is selected for use as training data, and labels are generated for the selected requests, thereby producing corresponding augmented results. A first portion of the augmented results are provided as training data to an experiment coordinator, which then trains one or more challenger models using these augmented results. A second portion of the augmented results is provided as evaluation data to a model evaluator, which evaluates the performance of the challenger models and the champion model. If one of the challenger models has higher performance than the champion model, the model evaluator promotes the challenger model to replace the champion model.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventors: Ryan Michael McKay, Cheryl Elizabeth Martin, Fountain L.
