  • Publication number: 20220092659
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for representational learning of product formulas are provided. The method accesses a set of product formulas. Each product formula includes a set of ingredient tuples. A directed graph is generated from the set of product formulas. The directed graph including a node for each ingredient of the sets of ingredient tuples of the set of formulas. The method generates a weighted graph from the directed graph. The weighted graph has a weight assigned to each edge in the directed graph. The method generates an embedding model based on the directed graph. A set of embeddings is determined for the weighted graph where each node is represented with low-dimensional numerical vectors.

  • Publication number: 20190197564
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for generating a special map of a plurality of products based on relationships between products. A query is received, from a user, via a user device, wherein the query includes an associated target product. A set of data associated with a plurality of products is received. An earth mover's distance value is calculating for at least one pair of products of the plurality of products. The earth mover's distance is communicated value to a user. A weight is received value based on a user input selection. The earth mover's distance value is modified based on the received weight. A flow vector is determining based on the modified earth mover's distance value of the at least one pair of products and each product of the at least one pair of products is mapped to a vector graph.

  • Publication number: 20190164039
    Abstract: A compositional artifact may be identified, and a set of logical coordinates within a composition model may be determined for the compositional artifact. The set of logical coordinates may be determined based on the components of the compositional artifact. Tolerance parameters may be used in conjunction with the set of logical coordinates to calculate a logical distance, and other artifacts in the composition model whose logical coordinates fall within the logical distance may be displayed to a user.

  • Patent number: 9047423
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for choosing actions in a state of a planning problem. The system simulates one or more sequences of actions, state transitions and rewards starting from the current state of the planning problem. During the simulation of performing a given action in a given state, a data record is maintained of observed contextual state information, and observed cumulative reward resulting from the action. The system performs a regression fit on the data records, enabling estimation of expected reward as a function of contextual state. The estimations of expected rewards are used to guide the choice of actions during the simulations. Upon completion of all simulations, the top-level action which obtained highest mean reward during the simulations is recommended to be executed in the current state of the planning problem.
