  • Publication number: 20230316111
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for analyzing results of a machine learning model. A result is obtained for a data set that includes a first plurality of features. A plurality of feature groups are defined. At least one feature group contains a second plurality of features of the first plurality of features. The second plurality of features is less than all of the first plurality of features. Feature groups can be defined based on determining dependencies between features of the first plurality of features, including using contextual contribution values.

  • Publication number: 20220391751
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for determining uncertainties associated with a predictive modeling environment executed by computing systems. A dataset that includes a plurality of variables associated with one or more values is received for training a predictive model. The predictive model is trained using the received dataset and applied to one or more variables in the received dataset to generate a prediction. One or more uncertainty intervals corresponding to one or more contributions of one or more missing values corresponding to one or more variables in the plurality of variables are generated. One or more uncertainty intervals corresponding to one or more contributions of one or more rare values corresponding to one or more variables in the plurality of variables are generated. An alert indicative of the prediction is generated based on the one or more generated uncertainty intervals.

  • Patent number: 10459932
    Abstract: Embodiments visualize large data volumes utilizing initial sampling to reduce size of a dataset. This sampling may be random in nature. The sampled dataset may be refined (wrangled) by binning, grouping, cleansing, and/or other techniques to produce a wrangled sample dataset. A user defines useful end visualization(s) by inputting expected dimension/measures. From these visualizations of sampled data, minimal grouping sets are deduced for application to the full dataset. The user publishes/schedules the wrangled operation and grouping sets definition. Based on this, a wrangled dataset and grouping sets are produced in the big data layer. When the user accesses the visualization(s), minimal grouping sets are retrieved in the in-memory engine of the client and processed by an in-memory database engine according to the common processing plan. This produces result sets and a final set of visualizations of the full dataset, in which the user can recognize valuable data trends and/or relationships.

  • Patent number: 8392362
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system, method, means, and/or computer program code are provided to facilitation a compression of information. In some cases, uncompressed data may be divided into a plurality of portions. A first data density value may be determined for a first portion, and a second data density value may be determined for a second portion. Based on the first data density value, the first portion may be encoded using a first encoding technique. Similarly, the second portion may be encoded using a second encoding technique based on the second data density value. A compressed representation of the uncompressed data may then be stored in accordance with results of said encodings of the first and second portions.
