  • Automatic slice discovery and slice tuning for data mining in autonomous systems
    Patent number: 12393598
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating automatic slice discovery and slice tuning for data mining in autonomous systems. In some aspects, an embodiment includes providing, by a processing device hosting a slice discovery machine learning (ML) model, input data to the slice discovery ML model, the input data corresponding to performance data of an autonomous vehicle (AV); identifying, by the slice discovery ML model, attributes of the AV and corresponding thresholds for the attributes that define a slice comprising a collection of data sharing common characteristics; and providing, by the slice discovery ML model, the attributes and the corresponding thresholds defining the slice to a slice miner to mine training data corresponding to the slice for a tailored dataset.
    Type: Grant
