Fine-tuning suggested mappings with incremental learning

Incremental learning uses AI modeling techniques to periodically analyze the source-to-target mapping preferences within the flows in an App Connect Designer instance. The patterns are memorized and are then used to offer helpful suggestions for previously untried source-to-target mappings.

Availability: Incremental learning is available only if the Mapping Assist incremental learning feature is enabled in an instance of App Connect Designer 12.0.1.0-r1 or later.

A base AI model is supplied for your App Connect Designer instance, and every 15 days or once a month (as configured for your instance), mapping preferences are collated as training data. This data is then used to retrain the model. Only simple mappings such as one-to-one field mappings between nodes are included in the training data. Complex mappings are discarded. The iterative training is used to incrementally build a personalized model for your Designer instance over time. As new mapping insights are learned, fine-tuning occurs to improve the degree of accuracy of the suggestions that are offered when you build flows.
