US 2019/0171897 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY IMPROVING GATHERING OF DATA USING A DATA GATHERING DEVICE

Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method for automatically improving gathering of data includes processing first input data acquired by a data gathering device to generate a first prediction and a corresponding confidence score. If the confidence score is below a threshold, then generating and applying a set of at least one action to the data gathering device, such as changing acquisition settings of the device. Second input data acquired using the data gathering device having the action applied thereto is further received and processed to generate a second prediction and corresponding confidence score. The set of action to-be-applied to the device is further modified based on the difference. The generation of the at least one action, such as changing the acquisition settings, can be based on an acquisition settings adjustment model and the modification of the action can include updating the model by machine learning (ex: reinforcement learning). The updated model can be applied to subsequent iterations of data gathering.
