Patent ID: 7792768

Claim:
A computer program product for autonomous classification, the computer program product comprising: a computer readable recordable-type media having computer executable instructions stored thereon, the computer executable instructions comprising: computer executable instructions for inputting data to an autonomous classifier, wherein the autonomous classifier is a deployed autonomously operating device; computer executable instructions for communicating classification input and output format information with an external environment using environment sensing; computer executable instructions for proactively seeking assistance and guidance from the external environment; computer executable instructions for self-configuring, self-optimizing and self healing the autonomous classifier using extrinsic inputs of the external environment and a goodness measure; computer executable instructions for selecting an operating point on a precision recall curve using a requirement of the external environment; computer executable instructions for configuring the autonomous classifier using the operating point on the precision recall curve and the goodness measure; computer executable instructions for outputting a decision by the autonomous classifier, wherein the decision is based on a mapping function that operates on input data; and computer executable instructions for storing the decision in memory.
