Patent number: 11537439Abstract: Techniques for intelligent compute resource selection and utilization for machine learning training jobs are described. At least a portion of a machine learning (ML) training job is executed a plurality of times using a plurality of different resource configurations, where each of the plurality of resource configurations includes at least a different type or amount of compute instances. A performance metric is measured for each of the plurality of the executions, and can be used along with a desired performance characteristic to generate a recommended resource configuration for the ML training job.

Patent number: 11449798Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for automated problem detection for machine learning models are disclosed. A machine learning analysis system receives data associated with use of a machine learning model. The data was collected by a machine learning inference system and comprises input to the model or a plurality of inferences representing output of the machine learning model. The machine learning analysis system performs analysis of the data associated with the use of the machine learning model. The machine learning analysis system detects one or more problems associated with the use of the machine learning model based at least in part on the analysis.

Patent number: 11257002Abstract: Techniques for dynamic accuracy-based experimentation and deployment of machine learning (ML) models are described. Inference traffic flowing to ML models and the accuracy of the models is analyzed and used to ensure that better performing models are executed more often via model selection. A predictive component can evaluate which model is more likely to be accurate for certain input data elements. Ensemble techniques can combine inference results of multiple ML models to aim to achieve a better overall result than any individual model could on its own.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Albert Faulhaber, Jr., Edo Liberty, Stefano Stefani, Zohar Karnin, Craig Wiley, Steven Andrew Loeppky, Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, Alexander Johannes Smola, Taylor Goodhart

Patent number: 10885548Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for email management that leverages information derived from automatically generated templates in order to identify types of message and message content. The systems and methods discussed herein involve identifying messages matching specific template types and structures, and automatically extracting important data from email messages matching those templates. The extracted data enables improvements for a user's experience and increased monetization. That is, templates can be analyzed to determine a type of email message, which in turn can be presented to a receiving user within an automatic folder or tag designation. Additionally, email snippets or previews can be generated from the extracted data for display within a user's inbox. Also, the extracted data can be used for monetization purposes, by serving targeted advertisements based upon the data extracted from such messages.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: VERIZON MEDIA INC.Inventors: Zohar Karnin, Edo Liberty, David Wajc, Guy Halawi

Patent number: 10374995Abstract: As is disclosed herein, user behavior in connection with a number of electronic messages, such as electronic mail (email) messages, can be used to automatically learn from, and predict, whether a message is wanted or unwanted by the user, where an unwanted message is referred to herein as gray spam. A gray spam predictor is personalized for a given user in vertical learning that uses the user's electronic message behavior and horizontal learning that uses other users' message behavior. The gray spam predictor can be used to predict whether a new message for the user is, or is not, gray spam. A confidence in a prediction may be used in determining the disposition of the message, such as and without limitation placing the message in a spam folder, a gray spam folder and/or requesting input from the user regarding the disposition of the message, for example.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: OATH INC.Inventors: Liane Lewin-Eytan, Guy Halawi, Dotan Di Castro, Zohar Karnin, Yoelle Maarek, Michael Albers
