  • Patent number: 11941016
    Abstract: Specified performance attributes may be used to configure machine learning transformations for ETL jobs. Performance attributes for a machine learning pipeline that applies a model to as part of a transformation for an ETL job may be used to configure a parameter in a stage of the machine learning pipeline. The configured stage may then be used when training the model. The trained machine learning pipeline may then be applied as part of a transformation operation included in an ETL job performed by the ETL system.

  • Publication number: 20230325384
    Abstract: Interactive assistances for executing natural language queries to data sets may be performed. A natural language query may be received. Candidate entity linkages may be determined between an entity recognized in the natural language query and columns in data sets. The candidate linkages may be ranked according to confidence scores which may be evaluated to detect ambiguity for an entity linkage. Candidate entity linkages may be provided to a user via an interface to select an entity linkage to use as part of completing the natural language query.

  • Patent number: 11726997
    Abstract: Multiple stage filtering may be implemented for natural language query processing pipelines. Natural language queries may be received at a natural language query processing system and processed through a query language processing pipeline. The query language processing pipeline may filter candidate linkages for a natural language query before performing further filtering of the candidate linkages in the natural language query processing pipeline as part of generating an intermediate representation used to execute the natural language query.

  • Publication number: 20210334752
    Abstract: Computerized methods for modifying at least one component of a clinical order are provided. The methods may include receiving a clinical order, the clinical order having a first component associated with a first phase and a second component associated with a second phase, wherein the first and second components have a first attribute in common, receiving an indication to modify the first attribute of the first component, and modifying the first attribute of the first component and the second component based on the indication received. The methods may further include associating the first and second components of the clinical order to form a cross-phase group and displaying the first and second components in association with an electronic record, e.g., an electronic medical record, in conjunction with a cross-phase group identifier to identify the components as members of the cross-phase group.

  • Patent number: 11120064
    Abstract: A data records service is configured to receive original data records and, in parallel, generate a transliterated version of the original data record into a phonetic based language. Individual fields of data records can be transliterated by identifying a primary language, generating language specific tokens for individual text portions, and transliterating the token. The records processing service can then execute matching models on both original data records and transliterated data records to detect matching data records.
