  • Patent number: 11893503
    Abstract: In some examples, machine learning based semantic structural hole identification may include mapping each text element of a plurality of text elements of a corpus into an embedding space that includes embeddings that are represented as vectors. A semantic network may be generated based on semantic relatedness between each pair of vectors. A boundary enclosure of the embedding space may be determined, and points to fill the boundary enclosure may be generated. Based on an analysis of voidness for each point within the boundary enclosure, a set of void points and void regions may be identified. Semantic holes may be identified for each void region, and utilized to determine semantic porosity of the corpus. A performance impact may be determined between utilization of the corpus to generate an application by using the text elements without filling the semantic holes and the text elements with the semantic holes filled.

  • Patent number: 11816888
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an automated image tagging system that can predict a set of tags, along with relevance scores, that can be used for keyword-based image retrieval, image tag proposal, and image tag auto-completion based on user input. Initially, during training, a clustering technique is utilized to reduce cluster imbalance in the data that is input into a convolutional neural network (CNN) for training feature data. In embodiments, the clustering technique can also be utilized to compute data point similarity that can be utilized for tag propagation (to tag untagged images). During testing, a diversity based voting framework is utilized to overcome user tagging biases. In some embodiments, bigram re-weighting can down-weight a keyword that is likely to be part of a bigram based on a predicted tag set.
