  • Publication number: 20250005460
    Abstract: A method of identifying entities from different data sources as matching entity pairs that refer to a same real-world object is provided. A set of labelling functions are provided to determine matching entities and non-matching entities of a source data set and a least one target data set. A subset of labelling functions are selected from the provided set of labelling functions for training machine learning models for a blocking module that aims at filtering out as many unmatched entity pairs as possible without missing any true matches and for a matching module that aims at predicting matching results for remaining entity pairs not filtered out by the blocking module. Both a blocking model for the blocking module and a matching model are jointly learned for the matching module based on available unlabeled entity pairs and the labelling functions of the selected subset of labelling functions.

  • Publication number: 20240249848
    Abstract: A method for monitoring of a proneness of a physical environment to infectious disease transmission includes a training phase in which unlabeled sensor data is obtained from sensors of the physical environment in order to provide a set of sensor features. A labeling matrix that is fed to a generative model is generated by applying situation labeling functions, wherein the generative model feeds a discriminative classifier model with probabilistic labels for the sensor features, wherein the probabilistic labels of the generative model are used for training the discriminative classifier model. A subset of the sensor features is determined based on an optimization procedure by a feature selection optimizer entity. In an operational phase, the discriminative classifier model uses the subset of sensor features for detecting predefined situations which make the physical environment prone to infectious disease transmission.
