  • Patent number: 11977602
    Abstract: A method for training a model for face recognition is provided. The method forward trains a training batch of samples to form a face recognition model w(t), and calculates sample weights for the batch. The method obtains a training batch gradient with respect to model weights thereof and updates, using the gradient, the model w(t) to a face recognition model what(t). The method forwards a validation batch of samples to the face recognition model what(t). The method obtains a validation batch gradient, and updates, using the validation batch gradient and what(t), a sample-level importance weight of samples in the training batch to obtain an updated sample-level importance weight.

  • Patent number: 11967165
    Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based document processing and validation system identifies anomalies such as errors, fraud, and duplicates of received documents and enables automatic actions for valid documents using machine learning (ML) techniques. The received documents are processed for determining probabilities for errors, fraud, and duplicates. A validation worklist is generated with the documents arranged in descending order of the probabilities and invalid documents with higher probabilities are flagged for review while the valid documents with lower probabilities are further processed for the execution of automatic actions. The feedback from the invalid document review is used to further train the models in determining the probabilities.
