Provided is a process that includes sharing information among two or more parties or systems for modeling and decision-making purposes, while limiting the exposure of details either too sensitive to share, or whose sharing is controlled by laws, regulations, or business needs.

A method for visualizing and analyzing contributions of various input features for traffic safety status prediction is provided. The method includes initializing a deep belief network (DBN) with input features; performing unsupervised learning/training by observing changes of weights of the input features during the unsupervised learning/training; when the unsupervised learning/training process is complete, performing supervised learning/training process by generating a reconstructed input layer based on results of each hidden layer; and continually running the supervised learning/training and generating a weight diagram based on both visualization and numerical analysis that calculates contributions of the input features. The input features may include one or more of annual average daily commercial traffic (AADCT), median width, left shoulder width, right shoulder width, curve deflection, and exposure for traffic safety status prediction.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system collects information associated with trouble tickets each including a problem abstract and a log text. The method includes analyzing the log text to obtain a problem resolution for that ticket; defining ticket clusters according to the problem abstracts, and labeling the clusters. The processing system creates a library of the labeled clusters, each entry including a cluster label, a problem abstract for that cluster, and a resolution summary for that problem abstract, indicating a mapping of the problem abstract to the resolution summary for that cluster. The method includes training, based on the mapping, machine-learning applications for a predicted resolution summary for each cluster and for classifying a new ticket. The method includes assigning the new ticket to a cluster according to the classifying. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method and system are provided for monitoring a protected network. The method includes, in a scoring phase, receiving a learned model having clusters of learning requests of learning network traffic observed during non-strain operation of the protected network, wherein each cluster has an associated characteristic learning response time. The method further includes receiving a score request to score a network service request of the network traffic, classifying the network service request with one of the clusters by comparing fields of the network service request to fields used for clustering the learning requests with the cluster, calculating a score based on the characteristic learning response times generated for the learned cluster to which the network service request is classified, and adjusting supportive handling of the network service request based on the score.

This disclosure relates to improved sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) techniques. The SBIR techniques utilize a neural network architecture to train a domain migration function and a hashing function. The domain migration function is configured to transform sketches into synthetic images, and the hashing function is configured to generate hash codes from synthetic images and authentic images in a manner that preserves semantic consistency across the sketch and image domains. The hash codes generated from the synthetic images can be used for accurately identifying and retrieving authentic images corresponding to sketch queries, or vice versa.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for optimizing integrated circuit architectures or compiler designs using an optimization engine. The optimization engine includes an auto-encoder and one or more regressors. Once trained, the optimization engine can encode initial, discrete input values of a set of input characteristics into a continuous domain and use continuous optimization techniques to identify final input values of the set of input characteristics that optimize one or more output characteristics.

Techniques for generating radiotherapy treatment plans and establishing machine learning models for the generation and optimization of radiotherapy dose data are disclosed. An example method for generating a radiotherapy dose distribution using a generative model, trained in a generative adversarial network, includes: receiving anatomical data of a human subject that indicates a mapping of an anatomical area for radiotherapy treatment; generating radiotherapy dose data corresponding to the mapping with use of the trained generative model, as the generative model processes the anatomical data as an input and provides the dose data as output; and identifying the radiotherapy dose distribution for the radiotherapy treatment of the human subject based on the dose data. Another example method for training of the generative model includes establishing values of the generative model and a discriminative model of the generative adversarial network using adversarial training, including in a conditional generative adversarial network arrangement.

A machine learning model including an autoencoder may be trained based on training data that includes sequences of non-anomalous performance metrics from an information technology system but excludes sequences of anomalous performance metrics. The trained machine learning model may process a sequence of performance metrics from the information technology system by generating an encoded representation of the sequence of performance metrics and generating, based on the encoded representation, a reconstruction of the sequence of performance metrics. An occurrence of the anomaly at the information technology system may be detected based on a reconstruction error present in reconstruction of the sequence of performance metrics. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are provided.

A system and method for collecting data regarding operation of a robot using, at least in part, responses from a first operation model to an input of sensed data from a plurality of sensors. The collected data can be used to optimize the first operation model to generate a second operation model. While the first operation model is being optimized, a train data-driven model that utilizes an end-to-end learning approach can be generated that is based, at least in part, on the collected data. Both the second operation model and the train data-driven model can be evaluated, and, based on such evaluation, a determination can be made as to whether the train data-driven model is reliable. Moreover, based on a comparison of the models, one of the second operation model and the train data-driven model can be selected for validation, and if validated, used in the operation of the robot.
