Patent attributes
A method and apparatus for processing data, the data including: a set of one or more system inputs; and a set of one or more system outputs; wherein each system output corresponds to a respective system input; each system input includes a plurality of data points, a first data point in the plurality and a second data point in the plurality being from a same raw data source, and the first data point being pre-processed using a different pre-processing method relative to a pre-processing method used to pre-process the second data point, the method including: for each of the first and second data points, inferring a value indicative of a significance of the pre-processing method used to pre-process that data point; wherein the inferring includes performing a machine learning algorithm on a given system input from the data and a further system input.
