  • System and method for automatically validating classified data objects
    Patent number: 9836520
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for enhancing a classification system to include an automatic classification validation system. The automatic classification validation system takes the classification results and automatically validates them for correctness. More specifically, the automatic classification validation system analyzes the data objects in the categories and, if any outliers are identified, then determines a context of the data object from a plurality of records contained within a certain category to determine the context. The classification validation system then uses the context of the data object to validate the classification.
