  • Patent number: 11250951
    Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to systems and methods for feature preparation that receives patient feature data and determines similarity of pre-stored models with the patient feature data. In an example implementation, a database of the pre-stored models is analyzed to assess similarity indicating that feature preparation of the pre-stored models is compatible with the patient feature data. For similarity indicative of feature preparation to be utilized, the feature preparation is conducted for the patient feature data based on the pre-stored model determined to be similar. The feature preparation retrieves reusable features associate with the similar pre-stored model, where the reusable features comprise pre-calculated features of the model. A machine learning model is generated using results of the feature preparation and patient feature data; and a prediction is provided using the machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11222262
    Abstract: A system and method for predicting a sequence of actions employ a Gated End-to-End Memory Policy Network (GMemN2NP), which includes a sequence of hop(s). Supporting memories of the hops include memory cells generated from observations made at different times. A sequence of actions is predicted, based on input agent-specific variables. For each action, the model, at each hop, outputs an updated controller state which is used as input to the next hop or, for the terminal hop, for computing the respective action. Each hop includes a transform gate mechanism which is used to control the influence of output of the supporting memories on the updated controller state. For the second and subsequent hops, respective actions are predicted, after using any intervening observations to update the supporting memories. The model is learned, on a training set of observations, to optimize the cumulative reward of a sequence of two or more actions.

  • Patent number: 11205111
    Abstract: Techniques of forecasting web metrics involve generating, prior to the end of a period of time, a probability of a metric taking on an anomalous value, e.g., a value indicative of an anomaly with respect to web traffic, at the end of the period based on previous values of the metric. Such a probability is based on a distribution of predicted values of the metric at some previous period of time. For example, a web server may use actual values of the number of bounces collected at hourly intervals in the middle of a day to predict a number of bounces at the end of the current day. Further, the web server may also compute a confidence interval to determine whether a predicted end-of-day number of bounces may be considered anomalous. The width of the confidence interval indicates the probability that a predicted end-of-day number of bounces has an anomalous value.

  • Patent number: 11017133
    Abstract: First FEA mesh model representing 3-D geometry of a carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRC) product/part, pre-forming fiber orientation and desired reference fiber direction at a particular location on the product/part are received. First FEA mesh model contains finite elements associated with respective material properties for carbon fibers and binding matrix. Pre-forming fiber orientation includes number of fibers and relative angles amongst the fibers. Pre-forming 2-D shape of a workpiece used for manufacturing the product/part is obtained by conducting a one-step inverse numerical simulation that numerically expands the first to a second FEA mesh model based on numerically-calculated structural behaviors according to respective material properties. Pre-forming fiber orientation is superimposed on the second FEA mesh model with the desired reference fiber direction being preserved.

  • Patent number: 11008925
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for monitoring effectiveness of a three-way catalytic converter of a gasoline engine. The method includes detecting emissions of the gasoline engine by an NOX sensor arranged within the three-way catalytic converter or downstream of the three-way catalytic converter in an exhaust-gas flow direction and transmitting values measured by the NOX sensor together with operating variables of the gasoline engine and/or of the three-way catalytic converter to a processor. The processor is configured to execute a simulation model and thereby calculate emissions values of a reference catalytic converter on the basis of the operating variables. The method further includes comparing the calculated emissions values with the values measured by the NOX sensor.

  • Patent number: 10997134
    Abstract: Entity resolution (i.e., record linkage) involves the analysis/discovering of datasets that refer to the same real world entity. Analysis typically involves transformation and comparison of different fields of the dataset followed by the application of often domain/data specific logic for determining datasets that refer to the same real world entity (e.g., person). Consider, a bulk mailing of product catalogs to potential customers. Some individuals may have numerous public records that identify the individual differently. Illustratively, several records associated with Jane Doe at her current home address may exist: one record with her name listed as J. Doe, a second record as Jane H. Doe, a third record as Doe, Jane, and a fourth record as Jan Doe (a misspelling). Conceivably, the bulk mailing could unwittingly send multiple catalogs to Jane Doe at her current address, one for each name variation. The entity resolution process described herein can overcome such problems.

  • Patent number: 10943181
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method that can be used with any underlying classification technique. The method receives a test dataset and determines the features in that test dataset that are present. From these features the training dataset is modified to only have those features that are present in the test dataset. This modified test dataset is then used to calibrate the classifier for the particular incoming data set. The process repeats itself for each different incoming dataset providing a just in time calibration of the classifier.
