  • Patent number: 10699218
    Abstract: Energy Analytics Learning Machine (or EALM) system is a machine learning based, “brutally empirical” analysis system for use in optimizing the payout from one or more energy sources. EALM system optimizes exploration, production, distribution and/or consumption of an energy source while minimizing costs to the producer, transporter, refiner and/or consumer. Normalized data are processed to determine clusters of correlation in multi-dimensional space to identify a machine learned ranking of importance weights for each attribute. Predictive and prescriptive optimization on the normalized energy data is performed utilizing unique combinations of machine learning and statistical algorithm ensembles. The unstructured textual energy data are classified to correlate with optimal production to capture the dynamics of one or more energy sources of physically real or theoretically calculated systems to provide categorization results from labeled data sets to identify patterns.

  • Patent number: 8725665
    Abstract: Techniques for evaluating the accuracy of a predicted effectiveness of an improvement to an infrastructure include collecting data, representative of at least one pre-defined metric, from the infrastructure during first and second time periods corresponding to before and after a change has been implemented, respectively. A machine learning system can receive compiled data representative of the first time period and generate corresponding machine learning data. A machine learning results evaluator can empirically analyze the generated machine learning data. An implementer can implement the change to the infrastructure based at least in part on the data from a machine learning data outputer. A system performance improvement evaluator can compare the compiled data representative of the first time period to that of the second time period to determine a difference, if any, and compare the difference, if any, to a prediction based on the generated machine learning data.
