Title: Rule determination for black-box machine-learning models
Inventor: PIYUSH GUPTA
IPC: G06N20/00
Filed: 2018-09-11
Abstract: Rule determination for black-box machine-learning models (BBIVILMs) is described. These rules are determined by an interpretation system to describe operation of a BBMLM to associate inputs to the BBMLM with observed outputs of the BBMLM and without knowledge of the logic used in operation by the BBMLM to make these associations. To determine these rules, the interpretation system initially generates a proxy black-box model to imitate the behaviour of the BBMLM based solely on data indicative of the inputs and observed outputs, since the logic actually used is not available to the system. The interpretation system generates rules describing the operation of the BBMLM by combining conditions identified based on output of the proxy black-box model, using a genetic algorithm. These rules are output as if-then statements configured with an if portion formed as a list of the conditions and a then portion having an indication of the associated observed output.

Abstract: A heat exchanger 110 comprises parallel spaced plates defining coolant flow paths 126 interspersed between hot fluid flow paths 128 to transfer coolant and hot fluid respectively in orthogonal directions between a coolant inlet 116 and outlet 118 and a hot fluid inlet 120 and outlet 122.

The first flow zone is proximate a hot fluid inlet and the second flow zone is spaced from the hot fluid inlet by the first flow zone. The flow control arrangement is configured to convey coolant at a first, higher, velocity along the first flow zone and at a second, lower, velocity along the second flow zone. When used in a charge cooler coolant boiling is inhibited in the faster moving first zone proximate the hottest fluid and thus damage is minimised. The zones may be provided by differing fin arrangements.
