Publication number: 20240104366Abstract: A computer implemented method includes transforming a set of received samples from a set of data into a multiplexed graph, by creating a plurality of planes, each plane having the set of nodes and the set of edges. Each set of edges is associated with a given relation type from the set of relation types. Message passing walks are alternated within and across the plurality of planes of the multiplexed graph using a graph neural network (GNN) layer. The GNN layer has a plurality of units where each unit outputs an aggregation of two parallel sub-units. Sub-units include a typed GNN layer that allows different permutations of connectivity patterns between intra-planar and inter-planar nodes. A task-specific supervision is used to train a set of weights of the GNN for the machine learning task.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Niharika DSouza, Tanveer Syeda-Mahmood, Andrea Giovannini, Antonio Foncubierta Rodriguez

Publication number: 20230401479Abstract: Computer-implemented methods are provided for generating machine learning model for multimodal data inference tasks. Such a method includes, for each sample in a training dataset of multimodal data samples, encoding the sample to produce a compressed vector representation of the sample in a k-dimensional latent space, and perturbing features of the sample to identify, for each dimension of the latent space, a set of active features perturbation of each of which produces more than a threshold change in the vector representation in that dimension. The method further comprises generating a sample graph having nodes interconnected by edges, wherein the nodes comprise nodes representing respective said features of the sample and edges interconnecting nodes indicate the active features for each dimension. The sample graph is then used to train a graph neural network model to perform the multimodal data inference task. Multimodal data inference systems employing such models are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2022Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Andrea Giovannini, Antonio Foncubierta Rodriguez, Niharika DSouza, Tanveer Syeda-Mahmood, HONGZHI WANG

Patent number: 11501061Abstract: A system and process for extracting information from filled form images is described. In one example, the claimed invention first extracts textual information and the hierarchy in a blank form. This information is then used to extract and understand the content of filled forms. In this way, the system does not have to analyze from the beginning each filled form. The system is designed so that it remains as generic as possible. The number of hard-coded rules in the whole pipeline was minimized to offer an adaptive solution able to address the largest number of forms, with various structures and typography. The system is also created to be integrated as a built-in function in a larger pipeline. The form understanding pipeline could be the starting point of any advanced Natural Language Processing application.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Antonio Foncubierta Rodriguez, Guillaume Jaume, Maria Gabrani
