US Patent Issued to Pattern Computer on May 12 for "Unsupervised information-based hierarchical clustering of big data" (Washington, New York Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,625,885, issued on May 12, was assigned to Pattern Computer Inc. (Friday Harbor, Wash.).

"Unsupervised information-based hierarchical clustering of big data" was invented by Marc Jaffrey (Seattle) and Michael Dushkoff (Colden, N.Y.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A hierarchical cluster analyzer identifies clusters in a big data set by identifying topological structure without distance-based metrics. The hierarchical cluster analyzer stochastically partitions the big data set to create pseudo-partitions of the big data set. The stochastic partitioning may be implemented with a random forest classifier that uses ensemble techniques to reduce...
