4. Definitions

5. Definitions
Machine Learning
• is a field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being
explicitly programmed (Arthur Samuel, 1959).
• The field of machine learning is concerned with the question of how to
construct computer programs that automatically improve with experience.
• A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to
some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at
tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E (Tom Mitchell,
1997).
Data Mining
• is the analysis of (often large) observational data sets to find unsuspected
relationships and to summarize the data in novel ways that are both
understandable and useful to the data owner (David Hand, 2001).

6. Definitions
Deep Learning
• is learning using one of a set of algorithms that
attempt to model high-level abstractions in data
by using model architectures composed of
multiple non-linear transformations.
• One of the promises of deep learning is replacing
handcrafted features with efficient algorithms for
unsupervised or semi-supervised feature learning
and hierarchical feature extraction.

Example EP1696821B1
• Method and device for automatically detecting mating of animals
• Abstract: The inventive device (110, 210, 310, 510) for
automatically detecting the mating of animals is wearable by an
animal (100) and comprises means (105, 505) for fixing to an
animal, means (140) for detecting an attempt of mating a female
animal (120) by said animal, means (145, 180, 345, 580) for
identifying an electronic label which is introduced in the body of
said female animal and actuated by said detection means and/or
by the female animal identification means by processing the image
of at least one part of the female animal triggered by said detection
means. In the preferred embodiment, means for identifying said
other animal comprises means for communicating with the
electronic label (130) carried by a female animal conspecific with
the animal triggered by said detection means. In one of the
embodiments, communications means is embodied in such a way
that it reads the electronic label identifier of each female animal
which said animal attempts to mate and storing means (160)
memorises each displayed identifier. In the other embodiment,
communication means is provided with a device for storing
representative information on the attempted mating in the random
access memory of the electronic label carried by the conspecific
female animal.

8. Telecommunication Patent
Classification
• Several thousand classified patents were used
to derive a classification model for millions of
3GPP patents from Korea, Japan, China, the US
and Europe.
• The data used included the publication
number, the abstract, the abstract of the DWPI
and the claims of the patent.

9. Telecommunication Patent
Classification

10. Natural Language Processing

11. Speech Analysis of Austrian
Politicians

 Data acquisition via
web scraping
 Human labelling of
selected sentences
 Word2vec or similar
models

12. Predictive Maintenance
Server Outage Prediction
• NOBODY likes server outages.
• Is there an exact
definition of the term outage?
• Is it measurable?
• Downtime minutes per user

13. Server Outage Prediction
• Definition (Event): An event shall be defined as an
occurrence happening at a determinable time and place
with a certain duration. It may be a part of a chain of
occurrences as an effect of a preceding occurrence and as
the cause of a succeeding occurrence. It is possible that
more than one event occurs at the same time and/or place.
• Definition (Abnormal Event): An abnormal event shall be
defined as an outlier in a chain of events, an event that
deviates so much from the other events as to arouse
suspicion that it was caused by something that does not
follow the usual behavior of the considered system and
that it could change the entire system behavior.

Kehlog Albran, The Profit

– Range of dimensions

22. Outlier Detection

• One-class support vector machine
• Why do we use these methods?
– 1 + 𝑥 -classification problem
– Unsupervised
– Range of dimensions

23. Server Outage Prediction
• The outlier detection delivers a score that can be used to calculate a
fuzzy value of outageness.
• Thus a partition based on the relevance of outages is possible – traffic
light system
• A combination of outageness
scores delivered by various
anomaly detectors is possible.
• By saving all these scores in a
database, a classification of
outages is possible (e.g. with
an ANN or some clustering
method).
