Automatic activation and configuration of robotic process automation (RPA) workflows using machine learning (ML) is disclosed. One or more parts of an RPA workflow may be turned on or off based on one or more probabilistic ML models. RPA robots may be configured to modify parameters, determine how much of a certain resource to provide, determine more optimal thresholds, etc. Such RPA workflows implementing ML may thus be hybrids of both deterministic and probabilistic logic, and may learn and improve over time by retraining the ML models, adjusting the confidence thresholds, using local/global confidence thresholds, providing or adjusting modifiers for the local confidence thresholds, implement a supervisor system that monitors ML model performance, etc.

Artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) model drift detection and correction for robotic process automation (RPA) is disclosed. Information is analyzed pertaining to input data for an AI/ML model to determine whether data drift has occurred, analyze information pertaining to results from execution of the AI/ML model to determine whether model drift has occurred, or both. When, based on the analysis of the information, a change condition is found, a change threshold is met or exceeded, or both, the AI/ML model is retrained. The retrained AI/ML model may then be deployed to provide better predictions on real world data.

A machine learning (ML) model retraining pipeline for robotic process automation (RPA) is disclosed. When an ML model is deployed in a production or development environment, RPA robots send requests to the ML model when executing their workflows. When a confidence level of the ML model falls below a certain confidence, training data is collected, potentially from a large number of computing systems. The ML model is then trained using at least in part the collected training data, and a new version of the ML model is deployed.

Probabilistic models may be used in a deterministic workflow for robotic process automation (RPA). Machine learning (ML) introduces a probabilistic framework where the outcome is not deterministic, and therefore, the steps are not deterministic. Deterministic workflows may be mixed with probabilistic workflows, or probabilistic activities may be inserted into deterministic workflows, in order to create more dynamic workflows. A supervisor system may be used to monitor an ML model and raise an alarm, disable an RPA robot, bypass an RPA robot, or roll back to a previous version of the ML model when an error is detected by a data drift detector, a concept drift detector, or both.

Inserting probabilistic models in deterministic workflows for robotic process automation and supervisor system

Frameworks and techniques for integration of heterogeneous machine learning (ML) models into robotic process automation (RPA) workflows are provided. This may be accomplished via a seamless drag-and-drop interface that allows deployment of ML models into an RPA workflow. Via a framework, these heterogeneous models may be provided by customers, third parties, and/or partners and integrated into the RPA workflow. The framework may provide a straightforward way to deploy machine learning models via a conductor and to manage model versioning and create/retrieve/update/delete (CRUD). The framework may facilitate integration of different models into the RPA workflow through the steps of uploading, validating, publishing, and deploying models.
