Patent number: 10083403Abstract: A method for improving accuracy and quality of received data is provided. The method provides a computer implemented data driven classification and data quality checking system. The method uses the associative memory software to build a data driven associative memory model that enables a machine learning data quality checker for receiving data. The method categorizes one or more fields of received data, analyzes the received data, and calculates a data quality rating metric, by comparing the received data with a pool of neighboring data in the category of field of the received data. The method accepts and adds the received data, if the data quality rating metric is greater than or equal to a data quality rating metric threshold, and generates and communicates an alert of a potential error in the received data, if the data quality rating metric is less than the data quality rating metric threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Jaime A.
