DOMAIN-SPECIFIC CONSTRAINTS FOR PREDICTIVE MODELING

Abstract:

A machine learning system that incorporates arbitrary constraints is provided. The machine learning system selects a set of domain-specific constraints from a plurality of sets of domain-specific constraints. The machine learning system selects a set of general functional relationships from a plurality of sets of general functional relationships. The machine learning system maps the selected set of general functional relationships and the selected set of domain-specific constraints to a set of learning transforms. The machine learning system modifies a machine learning specification according to the set of learning transforms, wherein the machine learning specification specifies a model construction, a model setup, and a training objective function. The machine learning system optimizes a machine learning model according to the modified machine learning specification.
