Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure pertain to inferring a candidate entity associated with a transaction with a machine learning model. An organization identifier and description associated with a transaction can be received as input. In response, an entity embedding, comprising a vector for each entity of an organization based on the organization identifier, can be retrieved from storage. A machine learning model can be invoked with the entity embedding and description. The machine learning model can be trained to infer a transaction embedding from the description and compute a similarity score between the transaction embedding and each vector of the entity embedding. A candidate entity with a similarity score satisfying a threshold can be identified and returned. The candidate entity with the highest similarity score can be identified in certain aspects.
