Patent number: 11100368Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating labeled image data for improved training of an image classifier, such as a multi-layered machine learning model configured to identify target image objects in image data. When the initially trained classifier is unable to identify a particular object in input image data, such as an object that did not appear in initial training data, feature information determined by the classifier for the given image data may be provided to a clustering model. The clustering model may group image data having similar features into different clusters or groups, which may in turn be labeled at the group level by an annotator. The image data assigned to the different clusters, along with the associated labels, may subsequently be used as training data for training a classifier to identify the labeled objects in images.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: GumGum, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Houng Tung Chu, Matthew Aron Greenberg, Francisco Javier Molina Vela, Joshua Alexander Tabak

Publication number: 20210224919Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically identifying fraud, waste or abuse in health insurance claims submitted to insurance companies by healthcare providers. Insurance claim information and at one image associated with the insurance claim may be received, where the image has been submitted by a healthcare provider to an insurance carrier as supporting evidence of a medical service performed by the healthcare provider. The system may generate a digital signature representing the image, then may compare the digital signature generated for the image to previously generated digital signatures of other images that have been submitted in association with other insurance claims. The system may then determine a likelihood that the given insurance claim is associated with fraud, waste or abuse, based in part on whether the digital signature is identical or close to one or more of the previously generated digital signatures.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2020Publication date: July 22, 2021Inventors: Joshua Alexander Tabak, Adam Michael Wilbert, Mustafa Alammar, Rohit Sanjay Annigeri, Cambron Neil Carter
