  • Patent number: 11652866
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for establishing and generating collections of sets that contain object identifiers based on user provided annotations for the object identifiers. A set may include one or more object identifiers and each object identifier may include one or more user provided annotations. Annotations from all object identifiers within a set are processed to form a set profile signature representative of the set. The set profile signatures are then compared between different sets to identify similar sets. Similar sets are included in a collection. Utilizing set profile signatures for a set formed based on user provided annotations provides useful relationships between sets that might otherwise not exist.

  • Publication number: 20230117499
    Abstract: A computing system for simulating allocation of resources to a plurality of entities is disclosed. The computing system can be configured to input an entity profile that describes a preference and/or demand of a simulated entity into a reinforcement learning agent model and receive, as an output of the reinforcement learning agent model, an allocation output that describes a resource allocation for the simulated entity. The computing system can select one or more resources based on the resource allocation described by the allocation output and provide the resource(s) to an entity model that is configured to simulate a simulated response output that describes a response of the simulated entity. The computing system can receive, as an output of the entity model, the simulated response output and update a resource profile that describes the at least one resource and/or the entity profile based on the simulated response output.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for reinforcement learning in combinatorial action spaces. One of the methods includes receiving an observation characterizing a current state of an environment; for each of a plurality of candidate actions: processing a network input using a Q neural network to generate a Q value that represents a return received if the candidate action is selected while the candidate action is presented in response to the received observation, processing the network input using a myopic neural network to generate a myopic output that represents a likelihood that the candidate action will be selected if the candidate action is presented in response to the received observation, and combining the myopic output and the Q value for the candidate action to generate a selection score for the candidate action; and selecting the candidate actions having the highest selection scores.

  • Patent number: 10713585
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for template exploration in a large-scale machine learning system. A method may include obtaining multiple base templates, each base template comprising multiple features. A template performance score may be obtained for each base template and a first base template may be selected from among the multiple base templates based on the template performance score of the first base template. Multiple cross-templates may be constructed by generating a cross-template of the selected first base template and each of the multiple base templates. Performance of a machine learning model may be tested based on each cross-template to generate a cross-template performance score for each of the cross-templates. A first cross-template may be selected from among the multiple cross-templates based on the cross-template performance score of the cross-template. Accordingly, the first cross-template may be added to the machine learning model.
