US Patent 11657334 Techniques for deriving and/or leveraging application-centric model metric

Techniques for recommending a prediction model from among a number of different prediction models are provided. Each of these prediction models has been trained based on a respective training data set, and each performs in accordance with a respective theoretical performance manifold. An indication of a region definable in relation to the theoretical performance manifolds of the different prediction models is received as input. For each of the different prediction models, the indication of the region is linked to features parameterizing the respective performance manifold; and one or more portions of the respective performance manifold is/are identified based on the features determined by the linking, the portion(s) having a volume and a shape that collectively denote an expected performance of the respective model for the input. The expected performance of the prediction models for the input is compared. Based on the comparison, one or more of the models is/are suggested.
