  • Patent number: 12711418
    Abstract: As described herein, various embodiments of the present invention use an output space refinement machine learning model to filter C of the B candidate predictive associations that are referred to herein as dynamically-preselected candidate predictive associations for each prediction input data object, with every prediction input data object being associated with a different subset of the dynamically-preselected candidate predictive associations, where C is less than B and is in some embodiments typically much less than B. As described in greater detail below, this approach reduces the number of computational operations that need to be performed by a final classification machine learning model (referred to herein as a variable-output-space prediction machine learning model), and leads to substantial computational efficiency advantages relative to naïve implementations.
