An approach is provided for progressive training of long-lived, evolving machine learning architectures. The approach involves, for example, determining alternative paths for the evolution of the machine learning model from a first architecture to a second architecture.

The migration steps, for instance, include architecture options for the evolution of the machine learning model. The approach further involves processing data using the options to determine respective model performance data. The approach further involves selecting a migration step from the one or more migration step alternatives based on the respective model performance data to control a rate of migration steps over a rate of training in the evolution of the machine learning model. The approach further involves initiating a deployment the selected migration step to the machine learning model.

In one aspect, a computerized method for managing autonomous cloud application operations includes the step of providing a cloud-based application.

The memory stores a dimensionally aware model generated based on a training set and guided by feature dimensions and instructions for execution by the at least one processor. The instructions include, in response to receiving a set of data from a user device, identifying a set of features from the set of data and applying the dimensionally aware model to the set of features by implementing a boundary representation. The instructions include classifying the set of features as acceptable in response to the implementation of the boundary representation indicating the set of features are outside the boundary representation, classifying the set of features as unacceptable in response to the implementation of the boundary representation indicating the set of features are inside the boundary representation, and generating, for display on the user device, an alert based on the classification.

A video retention system comprising a camera operated by a recording entity, and a video retention server adapted to receive, analyze, and manage video captured by the camera. The video retention server generates a one or more rules using a plurality of user-specified retention parameters which describe the recording entity and a desired retention objective. The rules embody video retention requirements applicable to the recording entity under applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards, and the video retention server executes the rules to delete unnecessary video files while retaining the video files which are necessary to comply with the video retention requirements associated with the specified retention objectives.

An interactive learning cycle includes an operator, a computer and a pool of images. The operator produces a sparsely-labeled data set. A back-end system produces live feedback: a densely-labeled training set which is displayed on the computer. Immediate feedback is displayed in color on the operator computer in less than about five seconds. A labeling tool displays a user interface and for every labeling project a region is defined that is downloaded as an image data batch. The operator annotates on a per-image basis in the region and uses several UI tools to mark features in the image and group them to a predefined label class. The back-end system includes processes that run in parallel and feed back into each other, each executing a model. A local model is used independently of the global model. The global model accepts sparsely-labeled images from numerous operator computers.

In some examples, a client accesses an AI-enabled web solution through an edge device. The edge device has one or more locally cached faster first AI models, and is also connected to a remotely stored slower, but more accurate and complex, second AI model. The edge device may execute an inference operation using one of the simpler models, but its result may deviate from that of the complex cloud based model. In embodiments, to improve the accuracy and still obtain the benefit of faster response time from a locally cached model, an intelligent cache decision maker is provided. The cache decision maker includes a third AI model, trained to determine, on a per request basis, whether one of the simpler models at the edge may be used, or whether it is necessary to use the more complex cloud based model to respond to the client request.
