Abstract

Technology is described for diagnosing problem causes in complex environments by using factorization of a plurality of features. An embodiment can include the operation of identifying a plurality of entities having entity weighting parameters. The entities may be computing devices. The plurality of features can be associated with a respective entity having feature weighting parameters, and an instance of the plurality of features can be associated with individual entity instances. A fault label can be applied for an ensemble entity. The plurality of features can be linked using the feature weighting parameter and the entity weighting parameter with a bilinear model. A further operation is estimating weighting values for the entity weighting parameters and the feature weighting parameters for use in a statistical model. The meaningful feature parameters can be found for the statistical model that are likely to be responsible for entity faults.
