  • Publication number: 20230237261
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a system includes a computing platform having processing hardware, and a system memory storing a software code. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to receive a vocabulary, identify words from the vocabulary for use in extending the vocabulary, pair each of those words with every other of those words to provide word pairs, and output the word pairs to a vocabulary administrator. The software code also receives word pair characterizations identifying each of the word pairs as one of similar, dissimilar, or neither similar nor dissimilar, configures, based on the word pair characterizations, a multi-dimensional vector space including multiple embedding vectors each corresponding respectively to one of the identified words, and cross-references each of those words with its corresponding embedding vector to produce an extended vocabulary corresponding to the received vocabulary.

  • Patent number: 11314706
    Abstract: A metadata aggregation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code including a trained entity matching predictive model trained using training data obtained from a reference database. The hardware processor executes the software code to obtain metadata inputs from multiple sources, conform the metadata inputs to a common format, match, using the trained entity matching predictive model, at least some of the conformed metadata inputs to the same entity, and determine, using the trained entity matching predictive model, a confidence score for each match. The software code further sends a request to one or more human editor(s) for confirmation of each match having a confidence score greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold, and updates the reference database, in response to receiving a confirmation that at least one match is a confirmed match, to include the confirmed match.
