  • Publication number: 20240020577
    Abstract: In a data management system of a machine learning model, flag management information (a flag importance management table) manages and defines respective flags corresponding to, of a plurality of processes included in the life cycle, one or more predetermined processes. An operation unit assigns flags defined in the flag management information to input data and output data of the model in accordance with involvement in the predetermined processes when the model is operated. A data management unit determines, with respect to each of the input data and the output data, the necessity of storage of data on the basis of a flag assigned to the data by the operation unit.

  • Publication number: 20220365526
    Abstract: When an event such as maintenance occurs, a model in which a tendency of input data changes due to an influence of the maintenance and retraining is required is specified. Model identifiers that specify the machine learning models and are unique to the machine learning models and sensor identifiers that specify the sensors that output the sensor data serving as the input data of the machine learning models and are unique to the sensors are managed to be in association with each other. A degree of influence indicating a change in tendency of the sensor data before and after the maintenance operation is performed is obtained for each maintenance event identifier that specifies a maintenance operation performed on a device and is unique to the maintenance operation, and the degree of influence is managed in association with each of the sensor identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20210357809
    Abstract: To efficiently and appropriately improve an inference model when the inference model outputs an inappropriate inference result that affects work. A model improvement system performs inference related to the work using an inference model which is a machine learning model that outputs an inference result by inputting an input matrix, acquires an actual result which is information acquired by actually performing work to be inferred by the inference model, determines whether or not the inference result is an inappropriate content that affects the work by comparing the inference result with the actual result, divides a part of the input matrix that outputs the inference result that affects the work from the input matrix, and generates an inference model that outputs an inference result that does not affect the work when the part divided from the input matrix is input as an input matrix.

  • Patent number: 8769545
    Abstract: Standby computers are dynamically divided into groups according to the difference between the software thereof and the software required of a business system. When a computer is made available, the standby computers divided into groups by software structure are searched and an appropriate one is extracted to quickly complete the construction of the software environment. An active computer, if to be transferred to standby mode, is associated with the group having the same software structure as the business system with which the active computer has thus far operated. The active/standby states of the computers are monitored, and the standby computers are changed thereby to widen the possible range of application to other business systems, removing copy operation of disk images from the active computer to the standby computers.
