Predictive modeling and data analysis in a secure shared system

摘要

A system and method enables users to selectively expose and optionally monetize their data resources, for example on a web site. Data assets such as datasets and models can be exposed by the proprietor on a public gallery for use by others. Fees may be charged, for example, per new model, or per prediction using a model. Users may selectively expose public datasets or public models while keeping their raw data private.

1. A processor-implemented system comprising:
(a) a source server for managing access to a data source; (b) a dataset server for creating and managing access to a dataset created from the data source; (c) a model server for creating and managing access to a model based on the dataset; (d) a prediction server for creating and managing access to a prediction that results from utilizing the model; (e) a user interface component that implements a corresponding private dashboard for each one of plural users of the system, wherein each private dashboard stores resources for the corresponding user without exposing the stored resources to any other user of the system; and (f) a public gallery component that, in cooperation with the user interface, implements a public gallery to enable a first user to selectively advertise a dataset for use by other users of the system to build a model of the dataset, wherein the public gallery component displays a summary of the advertised dataset; wherein the summary comprises a screen display including, for each field in the dataset, a field name and a histogram of data in the field; and wherein the public gallery component is configurable to advertise a model for use by other users of the system, by displaying a summary of the advertised model.
