Application: Machine learning-based decision framework for physical systems (Patent ID: US20240103457A1)

The patent filed by IBM describes a decision-improvement framework that involves obtaining regression functions to predict outputs of processes in a physical system, generating constraints and objective functions based on these predictions, identifying parameter values to control the system, and generating a score to determine system improvement. If the score meets a threshold, the system is configured accordingly. The system uses machine learning to automatically generate regression functions and can update the model based on feedback signals.

The framework utilizes a directed graph representation of the physical system, where processes are nodes and relationships are edges, allowing for the identification of parameter values for each process. The system is particularly applicable to manufacturing plants producing various products. The patent covers a computer-implemented method, a system with memory and a processor, and a computer program product with instructions for implementing the decision-improvement framework. The method, system, and program product work together to optimize the physical system based on historical performance data and predicted improvements.
