Abstract: In an approach to linking operational data with issues, a new event is received. The new event is associated to a story, where the story is related to an identified problem within the system, and further where the new event is associated with the story using machine learning techniques. The story is associated to related change requests based on a similarity between the story and related change requests, where the similarity between the story and the related change requests is associated using the machine learning techniques. A cost is calculated for the story. Responsive to associating the new event with a specific change request, the priority of the specific change request is updated based on the cost for the story.

Abstract: Computerized interactive feature visualization is carried out on a data set—a plurality of insight classes rank a plurality of features of the data set. Via a computerized user interface, user feedback is obtained based on the interactive feature visualization—a user selects and ranks a subset of the features. At least one transformation function is applied to at least one feature of the subset of features selected by the user, to automatically construct, with a computer, at least one additional feature for the data set. The data set with the at least one additional feature is a transformed data set. In some cases, a supervised task is carried out on the final data set; accuracy of a machine learning system implementing the at least one supervised task can be enhanced by the at least one additional feature, and/or a physical system can be controlled based on results of the at least one supervised task.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of cross-environment event correlation includes determining one or more correlated events about an issue across a plurality of domains. A knowledge data is extracted from the issue determined from the one or more correlated events is performed. A correlation graph is generated from the extracted knowledge to trace the issue and group the correlated events into one or more event groups to represent their relationship with the issue.
