  • Patent number: 11501041
    Abstract: One example described herein involves a system receiving task data and distribution criteria for a state space model from a client device. The task data can indicate a type of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) task to be implemented. The distribution criteria can include an initial distribution, a transition distribution, and a measurement distribution for the state space model. The system can generate a set of program functions based on the task data and the distribution criteria. The system can then execute an SMC module to generate a distribution and a corresponding summary, where the SMC module is configured to call the set of program functions during execution of an SMC process and apply the results returned from the set of program functions in one or more subsequent steps of the SMC process. The system can then transmit an electronic communication to the client device indicating the distribution and its corresponding summary.
