Abstract: Computer systems and computer-implemented methods modify a machine learning network, such as a deep neural network, to introduce judgment to the network. A “combining” node is added to the network, to thereby generate a modified network, where activation of the combining node is based, at least in part, on output from a subject node of the network. The computer system then trains the modified network by, for each training data item in a set of training data, performing forward and back propagation computations through the modified network, where the backward propagation computation through the modified network comprises computing estimated partial derivatives of an error function of an objective for the network, except that the combining node selectively blocks back-propagation of estimated partial derivatives to the subject node, even though activation of the combining node is based on the activation of the subject node.

Abstract: Matrix completion and recommendation provision with deep learning is described. A matrix manager system imputes unknown values of incomplete input matrices using deep learning. Unlike conventional techniques, the matrix manager system completes incomplete input matrices using deep learning regardless of whether an input matrix represents numerical, categorical, or a combination of numerical and categorical attributes. To enable a machine-learning model (e.g., an autoencoder) to complete a matrix, the matrix manager system initially encodes the matrix. This involves normalizing known values of numerical attributes and categorically encoding known values of categorical attributes. The matrix manager system performs categorical encoding by replacing information of a given categorical attribute (e.g., an attribute column) with replacement information for each possible value of the attribute (e.g., new columns for each possible value).

Abstract: The structure of an untagged document can be derived using a predictive model that is trained in a supervised learning framework based on a corpus of tagged training documents. Analyzing the training documents results in a plurality of document part feature vectors, each of which correlates a category defining a document part (for example, “title” or “body paragraph”) with one or more feature-value pairs (for example, “font=Arial” or “alignment=centered”). Any suitable machine learning algorithm can be used to train the predictive model based on the document part feature vectors extracted from the training documents. Once the predictive model has been trained, it can receive feature-value pairs corresponding to a portion of an untagged document and make predictions with respect to the how that document part should be categorized. The predictive model can therefore generate tag metadata that defines a structure of the untagged document in an automated fashion.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for disambiguating one or more entity mentions in one or more documents. The method facilitates the simultaneous linking entity mentions in a document based on convolution neural networks and recurrent neural networks that model both the local and global features for entity linking. The framework uses the capacity of convolution neural networks to induce the underlying representations for local contexts and the advantage of recurrent neural networks to adaptively compress variable length sequences of predictions for global constraints. The RNN functions to accumulate information about the previous entity mentions and/or target entities, and provide them as the global constraints for the linking process of a current entity mention.

Abstract: One embodiment facilitates generating synthetic data objects using a semi-supervised GAN. During operation, a generator module synthesizes a data object derived from a noise vector and an attribute label. The system passes, to an unsupervised discriminator module, the data object and a set of training objects which are obtained from a training data set. The unsupervised discriminator module calculates: a value indicating a probability that the data object is real; and a latent feature representation of the data object. The system passes the latent feature representation and the attribute label to a supervised discriminator module. The supervised discriminator module calculates a value indicating a probability that the attribute label given the data object is real. The system performs the aforementioned steps iteratively until the generator module produces data objects with a given attribute label which the unsupervised and supervised discriminator modules can no longer identify as fake.
