Abstract
Example embodiments relate to a method for training a predictive model from data. The method includes defining a multitude of predicates as binary functions operating on time sequences of the features or logical operations on the time sequences of the features. The method also includes iteratively training a boosting model by generating a number of new random predicates, scoring all the new random predicates by weighted information gain with respect to a class label associated with a prediction of the boosting model, selecting a number of the new random predicates with the highest weighted information gain and adding them to the boosting model, computing weights for all the predicates in the boosting model, removing one or more of the selected new predicates with the highest information gain from the boosting model in response to input from an operator. The method may include repeating the prior steps a plurality of times.
