AI summary

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for data segmentation using machine learning. A data segmentation system prioritizes parameters used for segmenting data into predetermined categories. For example, the data segmentation system uses linear regression to determine signal strength values for the individual parameters. The signal strength values can be used to automatically select a set of parameters for segmenting data, determine weights for the parameters and/or determine threshold segmentation values.
