  • Patent number: 11537934
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for a machine learning algorithm that generates models that are more interpretable and transparent than existing machine learning approaches. These embodiments identify, at a record level, the effect of individual input variables on the machine learning model. To provide those improvements, a reason code generator assigns monotonic relationships to a series of input variables, which are then incorporated into the machine learning algorithm as metadata. In some embodiments, the reason code generator creates records based on the monotonic relationships, which are used by the machine learning algorithm to generate predicted values. The reason code generator compares an original predicted value from the machine learning model to the predicted values from the machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11537950
    Abstract: This disclosure describes one or more implementations of a text sequence labeling system that accurately and efficiently utilize a joint-learning self-distillation approach to improve text sequence labeling machine-learning models. For example, in various implementations, the text sequence labeling system trains a text sequence labeling machine-learning teacher model to generate text sequence labels. The text sequence labeling system then creates and trains a text sequence labeling machine-learning student model utilizing the training and the output of the teacher model. Upon the student model achieving improved results over the teacher model, the text sequence labeling system re-initializes the teacher model with the learned model parameters of the student model and repeats the above joint-learning self-distillation framework. The text sequence labeling system then utilizes a trained text sequence labeling model to generate text sequence labels from input documents.

    Abstract: Techniques for modifying queries in a set of nested queries are disclosed. A graphical user interface displays a query detail region alongside a nested query display region. The graphical user interface includes functionality to provide for modification of queries in the nested set of queries. Based on a selection by a user, a query modification tool promotes a query attribute from a child query to one or more parent queries. Based on another selection by a user associated with one query in the set of nested queries, the system deletes an attribute from each query in the set of nested queries. Responsive to a selection to create multiple conditions for a query rule, the system modifies the functionality of the user interface to enable entry of multiple condition characteristics.

  • Patent number: 11461002
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a device with a touch screen display is disclosed. In the method, a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display is detected. In response to detecting the movement, an electronic document displayed on the touch screen display is translated in a first direction. If an edge of the electronic document is reached while translating the electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, an area beyond the edge of the document is displayed. After the object is no longer detected on or near the touch screen display, the document is translated in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the document is no longer displayed.

  • Patent number: 11449804
    Abstract: A central database system trains a machine-learned model based on training data identifying characteristics of account holder entities, characteristics of account provider entities, and relationships between the account holder entities and account provider entities. For a target entity, the central database system then identifies a target set of account provider entities, and applies the trained machine-learned model to identify a subset of the target set of account provider entities. The identified subset of account provider entities are entities that, if recommended to the target entity, are most likely to result in an established relationship with the target entity. A recommendation is then generated for display to the target entity, the recommendation identifying the subset of account provider entities and including interface elements that, if selected by the target entity, cause a notification identifying the target entity to be sent to a corresponding account provider entity.
