  • Patent number: 11836601
    Abstract: A system for using hash keys to preserve privacy across multiple tasks is disclosed. The system may provide training batch(es) of input observations each having a customer request and stored task to an encoder, and assign a hash key(s) to each of the stored tasks. The system may provide a new batch of input observations with a new customer request and new task to the encoder. The encoder may generate a new hash key assigned to the new customer request and determine whether any existing hash key corresponds with the new hash key. If so, the system may associate the new batch of input observations with the corresponding hash key and update the corresponding hash key such that it is also configured to provide access to the new batch of input observations. If not, the system may generate a new stored task and assign the new hash key to it.

  • Patent number: 11809976
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for classifying objects by a machine learning (ML) model. The ML model includes one or more layer level classification models to generate classifications and uncertainty metrics in the classifications and a meta-model to generate a final classification and confidence based on the underlying classifications and uncertainty metrics. In some implementations, the ML model provides an object to be classified to one or more layer level classification models, and the layer level classification models generate a classification for the object and an uncertainty metric in the classification. The meta-model receives the classifications and uncertainty metrics from the one or more layer level classification models and generates the final classification and confidence in the final classification. The uncertainty metrics may also be output by the ML model or used to adjust the meta-model to improve the final classification and confidence.

  • Patent number: 11790210
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for improving the evaluation of unstructured transaction data to, for example, recognize reoccurring data patterns or patterns of interest, predict future outcomes using historical indicators, identify attributes of interest, or evaluate likelihoods of certain conditions occurring. For example, a system can transform unstructured public record data obtained from multiple independent public data sources according to a hierarchical data model. The hierarchical data model can specify nodes within different data layers of a data hierarchy and classification labels corresponding to each of the nodes. In this way, the system can utilize data transformation techniques to permit the processing of information within unstructured transaction data that would have otherwise been impossible to perform without initially structuring the data according to the hierarchical data model.
