Publication number: 20220382794Abstract: Embodiments provide an apparatus, method and computer program product for generating validated attribute descriptors related to natural language processing. Natural language processing is performed to determine a set of attribute descriptors associated with textual information. An attribute descriptor cleaning process is then performed with respect to the set of attribute descriptors to determine a subset of attribute descriptors. Each attribute descriptor of the subset of attribute descriptors is compared to an attribute descriptor record to identify one or more common attribute descriptors. Additionally, a validated list of attribute descriptors is generated by removing the one or more common attribute descriptors from the subset of attribute descriptors.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Gaston L'Huillier, Jonathan Esterhazy, Dor Levi, Amit Koren, Daniel Langdon, Bhupesh Bansal, Feras Karablieh, Hernan Enrique Arroyo Garcia, Srinivasa Raghavan Vedanarayanan, Shawn Ryan Jeffery, Francisco Jose Larrain
