Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for auditing the results of a machine learning model includes: retrieving a set of state estimates for original time series data values from a database under audit; reversing the state estimation computation for each of the state estimates to produce reconstituted time series data values for each of the state estimates; retrieving the original time series data values from the database under audit; comparing the original time series data values pairwise with the reconstituted time series data values to determine whether the original time series and reconstituted time series match; and generating a signal that the database under audit (i) has not been modified where the original time series and reconstituted time series match, and (ii) has been modified where the original time series and reconstituted time series do not match.

Abstract: Techniques for using machine learning model validated sensor data to generate recommendations for remediating issues in a monitored system are disclosed. A machine learning model is trained to identify correlations among sensors for a monitored system. Upon receiving current sensor data, the machine learning model identifies a subset of the current sensor data that cannot be validated. The system generates estimated values for the sensor data that cannot be validated based on the learned correlations among the sensor values. The system generates the recommendations for remediating the issues in the monitored system based on validated sensor values and the estimated sensor values.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying a root cause of an operational result of a deterministic machine learning model are disclosed. A system applies a deterministic machine learning model to a set of data to generate an operational result, such as a prediction of a “fault” or “no-fault” in the system. The set of data includes signals from multiple different data sources, such as sensors. The system applies an abductive model, generated based on the deterministic machine learning model, to the operational result. The abductive model identifies a particular set of data sources that is associated with the root cause of the operational result. The system generates a human-understandable explanation for the operational result based on the identified root cause.

Abstract: Techniques for providing decision rationales for machine-learning guided processes are described herein. In some embodiments, the techniques described herein include processing queries for an explanation of an outcome of a set of one or more decisions guided by one or more machine-learning processes with supervision by at least one human operator. Responsive to receiving the query, a system determines, based on a set of one or more rationale data structures, whether the outcome was caused by human operator error or the one or more machine-learning processes. The system then generates a query response indicating whether the outcome was caused by the human operator error or the one or more machine-learning processes.
