  • Patent number: 11551024
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods to efficiently execute predictions models to identify future values associated with various nodes. A server retrieves a set of nodes and generates a primary prediction model using data aggregated based on all nodes. The server then executes various clustering algorithms in order to segment the nodes into different clusters. The server then generates a secondary (corrective) prediction model to calculate a correction needed to improve the results achieved by executing the primary prediction model for each cluster. When a node with unknown/limited data and attributes is identified, the server identifies a cluster most similar the new node and further identifies a corresponding secondary prediction model. The server then executes the primary prediction model in conjunction with the identified secondary prediction model to populate a graphical user interface with an accurate predicted future attribute for the new node.

  • Patent number: 11488071
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a novel advanced ensemble learning strategy for soft sensor development with semi-supervised model. The main target of the soft sensor is to improve the prediction performance with a limited number of labeled data samples, under the ensemble learning framework. Firstly, in order to improve the prediction accuracy of sub-models for ensemble modeling, a novel sample selection mechanism is established to select the most significantly estimated data samples. Secondly, the Bagging method is employed to both of the labeled and selected data-set, and the two different kinds of datasets are matched based on the Dissimilarity (DISSIM) algorithm. As a result, the proposed method guarantees the diversity and accuracy of the sub-models which are two significant issues of the ensemble learning. In this work, the soft sensor is constructed upon the Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) model.

  • Patent number: 11380594
    Abstract: Machine learning techniques are used to predict values of fixed parameters when given reference values of critical parameters. For example, a neural network can be trained based on one or more critical parameters and a low-dimensional real-valued vector associated with a spectrum, such as a spectroscopic ellipsometry spectrum or a specular reflectance spectrum. Another neural network can map the low-dimensional real-valued vector. When using two neural networks, one neural network can be trained to map the spectra to the low-dimensional real-valued vector. Another neural network can be trained to predict the fixed parameter based on the critical parameters and the low-dimensional real-valued vector from the other neural network.

  • Patent number: 11341688
    Abstract: Optimization of a neural network, for example in a video codec at the decoder side, may be guided to limit overfitting. The encoder may encode video(s) with different qualities for different frames in the video. Low-quality frames may be used as both input and ground-truth during optimization. High-quality frames may be used to optimize the neural network so that higher-quality versions of lower-quality inputs may be predicted. The neural network may be trained to make such predictions by making a prediction based on a constructed low-quality input for which the corresponding high-quality version is known, comparing the prediction to the high-quality version, and fine-tuning the neural network to improve its ability to predict a high-quality version of a low-quality input. To limit overfitting, the neural network may be concurrently or in an alternating fashion trained with low-quality input for which a higher-quality version of the low-quality input is known.

    Abstract: Described is a system for performing probabilistic computations on mobile platform sensor data. The system translates a Bayesian model representing input mobile platform sensor data to a spiking neuronal network unit that implements the Bayesian model. Using the spiking neuronal network unit, conditional probabilities are computed for the input mobile platform sensor data, where the input mobile platform sensor data is a time series of mobile platform error codes encoded as neuronal spikes. The neuronal spikes are decoded and represent a mobile platform failure mode. The system causes the mobile platform to initiate a mitigation action based on the mobile platform failure mode.
