  • Patent number: 11861490
    Abstract: A machine learning environment utilizing training data generated by customer environments. A reinforced learning machine learning environment receives and processes training data generated by independently hosted, or decoupled, customer environments. The reinforced learning machine learning environment corresponds to machine learning clusters that receive and process training data sets provided by the decoupled customer environments. The customer environments include an agent process that collects training data and forwards the training data to the machine learning clusters without exposing the customer environment. The machine learning clusters can be configured in a manner to automatically process the training data without requiring additional user inputs or controls to configured the application of the reinforced learning machine learning processes.

  • Patent number: 11374409
    Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for forecasting load flexibility of a power grid. In one example, the method includes receiving temperature values associated with temperature set points of a plurality of loads that are included on a power grid, forecasting a flexibility of the plurality of loads using a polynomial-time mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) optimization based on the received temperature values for the plurality of loads, and outputting information about the forecasted flexibility for display to a display device. The MINLP optimization performs the forecasting of the load flexibility on a fine-grained basis in comparison to conventional methods and is still fast enough that it can be computed in real-time.

  • Publication number: 20200167437
    Abstract: A simulation workflow manager obtains a set of parameters for simulation of a system and training of a reinforcement learning model for optimizing an application of the system. In response to obtaining the set of parameters, the simulation workflow manager configures a first compute node that includes a training application for training the reinforcement learning model. The simulation workflow manager also configures a second compute note with a simulation application to perform the simulation of the system in a simulation environment. Data is generated through execution of the simulation in the second compute node that is provided to the first compute node to cause the training application to use the data to train the reinforcement learning model.

  • Publication number: 20200167687
    Abstract: A simulation application container executes a simulation of a system in a simulation environment, through which an agent representing the system uses a reinforcement learning model to operate within the simulation environment. The simulation application container obtains data indicating how the agent performed in the simulation environment and transmits this data to a robot application container.

  • Patent number: 9750463
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a system for analysis of respiratory distress in hospitalized patients. The system performs multi-parametric simultaneous analysis of respiration rate (RR) and pulse oximetry (SpO2) data trends in order to gauge patterns of patient instability pertaining to respiratory distress. Three patterns in SpO2 and RR are used along with LOWESS algorithm and Chauvenets criteria for outlier rejection to obtain robust short term and long term trends in RR and SpO2. Pattern analysis detects the presence of any one of three pattern types proposed. Further, a learning paradigm is introduced to find unknown instances of respiratory distress. This algorithm in conjunction with the learning model allows early detection of respiratory distress in hospital ward and ICU patients.

  • Patent number: 9572538
    Abstract: A method of prioritizing arrhythmia alarms based on one patient's perfusion level includes receiving arterial blood pressure, electrocardiogram heart rate, and arterial pulse rate values of the one patient during a same time window. Analyzing the set of blood pressure values to determine if an arrhythmia event is indicated, where if an arrhythmia event is indicated, the method includes calculating a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ratio, comparing the SBP ratio to a first predetermined threshold, and if the SBP ratio is less than or equal to the first predetermined threshold, then activating a non-perfusion alarm. If the SBP ratio is greater than the first predetermined threshold, then calculating a standard deviation of a rate differential between the heart rate and the pulse rate values, and if the standard deviation is greater than a second predetermined threshold, then activating the non-perfusion alarm. A system and non-transitory computer media is also presented.
