Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dimensionality change by constructing phase space attractors from time series data, transforming one-dimensional temporal data into multi-dimensional geometric structures. This allows the AI system to capture nonlinear dynamics and chaotic behavior that cannot be represented in the original time domain, thereby improving predictive accuracy for dynamic systems without requiring complex system models.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by computing attractor dimensions and Lyapunov exponents from the time series data. These parameters characterize the underlying dynamic system's properties, allowing the prediction horizon to be determined based on intrinsic system characteristics rather than simply scaling with data length. This enables more efficient use of data where prediction accuracy improves without linearly increasing the required data quantity.

AI summary

A method for predicting future behavior for a dynamic system using an artificial intelligence system implemented within a computer hardware system. A predetermined amount of a time series group of data from the dynamic system defining previous behavior of the dynamic system are received at the artificial intelligence system. An attractor is constructed from the time series group of data that defines the previous behavior of the dynamic system using the artificial intelligence system. The attractor models the previous behavior of the dynamic system based on the predetermined amount of the time series group of data of the dynamic system. A prediction horizon for the predetermined amount of the time series group of data is determined with the artificial intelligence system using an attractor dimension of the constructed attractor and a Lyapunov exponent of the constructed attractor. The prediction horizon increases logarithmically as a length of the predetermined amount of the time series group of data from the dynamic system increases linearly. Prediction values of future behavior of the dynamic system are generated with the artificial intelligence system using the constructed attractor and the determined prediction horizon.
