  • Publication number: 20230259813
    Abstract: A method of automatically tuning hyperparameters includes receiving a hyperparameter tuning strategy. Upon determining that one or more computing resources exceed their corresponding predetermined quota, the hyperparameter tuning strategy is rejected. Upon determining that the one or more computing resources do not exceed their corresponding predetermined quota, a machine learning model training is run with a hyperparameter point. Upon determining that one or more predetermined computing resource usage limits are exceeded for the hyperparameter point, the running of the machine learning model training is terminated for the hyperparameter point and the process returns to running the machine learning model training with a new hyperparameter point. Upon determining that training the machine learning model is complete, training results are collected and computing resource utilization metrics are determined.

  • Publication number: 20220245440
    Abstract: A method of using a computing device to train a neural network to recognize features in variate time series data that includes receiving, by a computing device, variate time series data. The computing device further receives results associated with the variate time series data. The computing device determines an anchor of the variate time series data. The computing device additionally determines one or more portions of the variate time series data which lead to a positive result. The computing device further determines one or more portions of the variate time series data which lead to a negative result. The computing device trains a neural network to interpret results of future variate time series data based upon the anchor, the one or more portions of the variate time series data which lead to the positive result, and the one or more portions of the variate time series data which lead to the negative result.

  • Publication number: 20220245409
    Abstract: A method of using a computing device to determine a window size in variate time series data that includes receiving, by a computing device, variate time series data associated with a machine learning model. The computing device sets a moving window size and a standard deviation for the variate time series data. The computing device further calculates a moving window average for the variate time series data. The computing device additionally calculates a standard deviation across all variate time series data. The computing device sorts the standard deviations calculated in descending order. The computing device further iterates indices for the standard deviations until the indices have been visited by at least one anchor. The computing device iteratively expands each anchor to cover neighbors' anchors which have been visited by previous anchors. The computing device determines a window size based upon the expanded anchors.

  • Patent number: 11263172
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and/or computer system improves a future efficiency of a specific system. One or more processors receive multiple historical data snapshots that describe past operational states of a specific system. The processor(s) identify a time series pattern for the time series of data in the multiple historical snapshots and calculate their variability. The processor(s) then determine that the variability in a first sub-set of the time series pattern is larger than a predefined value, and determine that future values of the first set of the time series pattern are a set of non-forecastable future values. The processor(s) also determine that the variability in a second sub-set of the time series pattern for the data is smaller than the predefined value, and utilizes this second sub-set to modify the specific system at a current time.

  • Patent number: 6392156
    Abstract: Improved conductors and superconducting magnets are described utilizing superconducting materials exhibiting critical field anisotropy. This anisotropy is one in which the ability of the superconductor to stay in a superconducting state depends on the orientation of a magnetic field applied to the superconductor with respect to the direction of current flow in the superconductor. This anisotropy is utilized in the design of conductors and magnet windings comprising the superconductive material and specifically is directed to magnet windings in which the direction of high critical current through the superconductor is parallel to the magnetic field produced by current in these windings in order to obtain high critical fields. Particularly favorable examples of a superconducting material are the so-called high Tc superconductors in which the primary supercurrent flow is confined to 2 dimensional Cu—O planes.
