Patents by Inventor Eric Slottke

Eric Slottke has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11556825
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for verifying labels of records of a dataset. The records comprise sample data and a related label out of a plurality of labels. The method includes one or more processors dividing the dataset into a training dataset comprising records relating to a selected label and an inference dataset comprising records with sample data relating to the selected label and all other labels out of the plurality of labels. The method further includes dividing the training dataset into a plurality of learner training datasets that comprise at least one sample relating to the selected label. The method further includes training a plurality of label-specific few-shot learners with one of the learner training datasets. The method further includes performing inference by the plurality of trained label-specific few-shot learners on the inference dataset to generate a plurality of sets of predicted label output values.

  • Publication number: 20200320428
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for improving fairness in a supervised machine-learning model may be provided. The method comprises linking the supervised machine-learning model to a reinforcement learning meta model, selecting a list of hyper-parameters and parameters of the supervised machine-learning model, and controlling at least one aspect of the supervised machine-learning model by adjusting hyper-parameters values and parameter values of the list of hyper-parameters and parameters of the supervised machine-learning model by a reinforcement learning engine relating to the reinforcement learning meta model by calculating a reward function based on multiple conflicting objective functions. The method further comprises repeating iteratively the steps of selecting and controlling for improving a fairness value of the supervised machine-learning model.
