A computer-implemented method of extracting properties of one or more variables of a mathematical transformation in a document identified by automatic feature engineering (AFE) is provided. The document is parsed to extract at least one of a mathematical formula including identifying data, a textual description of the one or more variables of the mathematical transformation, or a category identifier to which the document belongs. Constraints are determined to apply to the one or more variables extracted from the mathematical transformations in the document. At least one candidate feature is automatically generated from a portion of an input data that conforms to the determined constraints.

Methods and system for the extraction of properties of variables using automatically detected variable semantics and other resources

Embodiments for automated feature engineering are provided. Data associated with a machine learning model is received. The received data is mapped to at least one description associated with the data. A feature for the machine learning model is generated based on a formula within a corpus. The formula is associated with the at least one description.

Methods and systems for automated feature generation utilizing formula semantification

A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed. The method includes extracting at least one identifier from a formula in a document and extracting text passages in the document that contain the identifier(s). The method also includes selecting an identifier and extracted text passages containing the identifier, as well as generating identifier-passage pairs for the selected text passages and the identifier. Further, the method includes submitting the identifier-passage pairs to a question answering (QA) model, which generates candidate answers from the selected text passages. A definition of the identifier is then selected from the candidate answers.

Embodiments for ensemble policy generation for prediction systems by a processor. Policies are generated and/or derived for a set of ensemble models to predict a plurality of target variables for streaming data such that the plurality of policies enables dynamic adjustment of the prediction system. One or more of the policies are updated according to one or more error states of the set of ensemble models.

Embodiments for self-managed adaptable models for prediction systems by one or more processors. One or more adaptive models may be applied to data streams from a plurality of data sources according to one or more data recipes such that the one or more adaptive models predict a plurality of target variables.

Self-managed adaptable models for prediction systems

Various embodiments are provided for managing and interacting with a conversational agent in an internet of things (IoT) environment by a processor. One or more graph patterns may be extracted from a knowledge graph generated from a sensor list containing one or more IoT sensors. One or more conversation patterns and conversation dialogs may be learned from the sensor list and graph patterns. The conversational agent may be automatically configured with the one or more graph patterns, the one or more conversational patterns and conversation dialogs, sensor data and analytics from the one or more IoT sensors according to one or more queries to engage in a conversation dialog with a user.

A method of updating a plurality of databases storing place names includes collecting first, second and third coordinates of addresses including a first, a second and a third place name, respectively, clustering the first, second and third coordinates in a first, a second and a third cluster, respectively, obtaining a base address including the first place name and having base coordinates, assessing the best fit of the base coordinates to the first, second, and third clusters, and based on the two best fit clusters, identifying the second or third place name as an alias place name for the first place name. The method further includes obtaining alias addresses including the alias place name, fuzzy matching the base address to an alias address, and updating first and second databases by linking the alias address in the second database to the base address in the first database.
