USA - A METHOD OF FLOCK ENGINE WITH BLOCKCHAIN AUDITING
Issued US20230376550A1
In recent years, social networking has become a part of the society. Social Networking maintains a digital view of the real world connections, thus connecting users to other users, businesses, entities etc. It also provides a mechanism for the users to be connected to the content that is more relevant to them. For example, users can connect with other users/groups based on their interests, location preference, age and multiple other attributes.

For example, users can connect with other users/groups based on their interests, location preference, age and multiple other attributes.
Recommendation Systems are systems which recommend people with these content which can be an entity, an activity or even another person who is more likely to be relevant to him and the context. Also, advertisers use these recommendation systems to show advertisements based on the user preference.
Although these recommendation systems have existed, but they not very relevant when it comes down to real world experiences. Using the data in a social network, they are unable to get the desired results. Moreover, these systems are an internal part of these social networks and don't give the control to the user to find flock recommendations based on his preferences.Other inventorsSee patent -

This invention focuses on an intelligent machine learning engine, or iML which automatically evaluates and decides the best combination of algorithm, feature set and hyperparameters for a particular dataset so as to train a relatively more accurate model for the dataset to be used for predictions. To achieve this, iML has 3 major components, the feature selection, the algorithm selection and hyperparameters optimization. The engine takes the training data as the input, feeds it to the core iML engine, and performs feature and algorithm selection first to decide the best combination of most relevant feature set and algorithm amongst the available algorithms for the particular type of machine learning problem. Then it performs the hyperparameter optimization to minimize the loss function and finally trains a relatively better model suited for the dataset. The model is then used for the test data for predictions giving fairly better and accurate predictions.
