  • Patent number: 12585262
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for encoding information for sets, including sets whose elements are arranged in a hierarchy. Values are defined for different levels of a hierarchy, where the values increase or decrease from a root of the hierarchy. A flattened representation of the hierarchy is generated by multiplying element values by a level value for a level at which a respective element is located. Values for parent and leaf nodes are defined, and a flattened representation of the hierarchy is generated by multiple elements values by the parent value or the leaf node value, depending on whether a respective elements is a parent or leaf node. Quantity values for a set of elements are encoded by adding a quantity of a given element to a value assigned to elements of a set definition that are present in a set.

  • Patent number: 12579473
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for obtaining a suggested configuration for a configurable object. Typically, a particular object and object configuration are recommended based on technical characteristics of the object. However, a user or process wishing to obtain a recommendation may be more familiar with their operational requirements. Disclosed techniques can include an overall solutions category containing solutions of different solutions category subtypes. Sets of requirements attributes and configuration (technical) attributes can be defined for the solutions category. In some cases, a first machine learning model is trained using input values for the requirements attributes and the configuration attributes, and is used to recommend a particular solution in response to a set of input requirement attribute values.

  • Publication number: 20230368086
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for determining elements of a routing. A set of inputs is obtained, where the set of inputs includes sets of one or more characteristics for respective inputs of the set of inputs. At least a portion of values for the one or more characteristics are submitted along with a set of labels to train a machine learning model. A set of inference data that includes input values for a set of one or more characteristics for inputs of the set of inference data is analyzed using the machine learning model to provide an inference result. The inference result provides a predicted set of labels associated with a routing element of a routing involving the set of inference data. Using characteristics values can provide more accurate inference results and can allow a greater portion of data to be used as training data.

  • Publication number: 20230368085
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for predicting elements of a routing. Such elements include processing resources used in processing a set of inputs, a sequence of processing resources used in processing a set of inputs, operations performed on the inputs, a sequence of the operations, standard values associated with the operations, and how inputs are allocated to processing resources or operations. A machine learning model is trained with a set of inputs and a set of labels for one or more elements of a routing. A set of inputs for inference data is provided to the trained model and a prediction for one of the routing elements is provided. For sequence information, training data can be used to generate a probability model which can be used to obtain an inferred sequence of processing resources or operations.
