  • Publication number: 20240136063
    Abstract: Systems and methods for out-of-distribution detection of nodes in a graph includes collecting evidence to quantify predictive uncertainty of diverse labels of nodes in a graph of nodes and edges using positive evidence from labels of training nodes of a multi-label evidential graph neural network. Multi-label opinions are generated including belief and disbelief for the diverse labels. The opinions are combined into a joint belief by employing a comultiplication operation of binomial opinions. The joint belief is classified to detect out-of-distribution nodes of the graph. A corrective action is performed responsive to a detection of an out-of-distribution node. The systems and methods can employ evidential deep learning.

  • Patent number: 11792167
    Abstract: Techniques for a flexible data security and machine learning system for merging third-party data are provided. In one technique, the system receives a data set from a third-party entity and receives selection data that indicates that the third-party entity selected a set of data security policies that includes an encryption option and a data mixing option from among multiple data mixing options. In response to receiving the selection data, the system stores data that associates the set of data security policies with the data set, encrypts the data set according to the encryption option, and persistently stores the encrypted data set. Later, the system decrypts the encrypted data set in volatile memory, generates, based on the data mixing option, training data based on the decrypted version of the data set, trains a machine-learned model based on the training data, and stores the machine-learned model in association with the data set.

  • Publication number: 20220398488
    Abstract: Machine-learned model scoring techniques for reducing model invocations are provided. In one technique, first values for non-pair-specific interaction features that are associated with a first entity are identified. Second values for pair-specific interaction features that are associated with (a) the first entity and (b) a second entity that is different than the first entity are identified. A machine-learned model that has been trained based on the non-pair-specific interaction features and the pair-specific interaction features generates a first score based on the first values. The machine-learned model also generates a second score based on the first values and the second values. A final score for the first entity-second entity pair is computed based on the first score and the second score. Based on the final score, data about the first entity is transmitted over a computer network to a computing device associated with the second entity.

  • Patent number: 11308426
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for performing sequence modeling for searches. During operation, the system obtains a sequence of jobs associated with activity by a member of an online system. Next, the system applies a word embedding model of a set of job histories to attributes of individual jobs in the sequence of jobs to produce embeddings for the individual jobs. The system then generates a set of power means from the embeddings. Finally, the system outputs the set of power means as an encoded representation of the sequence of jobs, wherein the set of power means is used in generating job recommendations related to the member.

  • Patent number: 11080272
    Abstract: Entity resolution techniques for matching entity records from different data sources are provided. In one technique, an entity record from a source database is identified along with multiple data items included therein. Each data item corresponds to an attribute of multiple source attributes. For one of the data items that corresponds to a first source attribute, multiple target attributes are identified. A first query is generated that includes the data items and associates the data item with each of the multiple target attributes. A second query that is different than the first query is also generated. Two searches are performed of a target database: one based on the first query and the other based on the second query. A scoring model generates multiple scores, one for each search result. It is determined whether the entity record matches an entity record in the target database based on the set of scores.

  • Publication number: 20200410056
    Abstract: A crowdsource pipeline manager that is capable of using a crowdsource platform to automatically generate a large amount of high-quality training examples in a timely manner for training a machine learning model for a natural language processing task. Instead of merely creating a collection job with the crowdsource platform, the crowdsource pipeline manager creates a peer-reviewed collection job. The peer-reviewed collection job is created with the crowdsource platform such that execution of a corresponding judging job by the crowdsource platform is automatically triggered after the crowdsource platform executes the peer-reviewed collection job.

  • Publication number: 20200104421
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, career path information is extracted from user data, the career path information including two or more career path features for each job held by the user, as identified in the career path information. The career path information is concatenated into a single concatenation. The single concatenation is fed into an embedding model trained using a first machine learning algorithm to output one or more embeddings in an n-dimensional space for the single concatenation. These embeddings are then used as input to a model trained by a second machine learning algorithm.
