Patent number: 12579127Abstract: Described are techniques for detecting labels incorrectly assigned to data set fields. The data of each data set field, such as those data set fields assigned to the same label, are represented using a set of characteristics. The data set fields are then clustered into clusters based on the characteristics of the data of the data set fields. Those clusters of data set fields with a homogeneity (being assigned the same label) that exceeds a first threshold value and is below a second threshold value are identified. One or labels assigned to the data set fields of the identified clusters are identified as being suspect for incorrect assignments by having a frequency below a third threshold value (e.g., 3%), which may be user-designated. The label(s) identified as being suspect for incorrect assignment are then presented to a user for review.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2023Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Orna Raz, Yannick Saillet, Maya Zohar, Marcel Zalmanovici

Publication number: 20260017346Abstract: Systems and techniques that facilitate ground-truth-less performance prediction of generative question-answering systems are provided. In various embodiments, a system can access a large language model (LLM) and a natural language question for which a ground-truth answer is unavailable. In various aspects, the system can generate, via a machine learning classifier that receives as input a set of properties associated with the natural language question, a classification label indicating whether or not the large language model will correctly answer the natural language question. In various instances, the set of properties can include a semantic category of the natural language question, a subject popularity of the natural language question, a semantic consistency exhibited by the LLM in response to repeated executions on the natural language question, or a semantic consistency exhibited by the LLM in response to execution on paraphrases of the natural language question.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2024Publication date: January 15, 2026Inventors: Ella Rabinovich, Samuel Solomon Ackerman, ORNA RAZ, Eitan Daniel Farchi, Ateret Anaby - Tavor

Patent number: 12499878Abstract: Various systems and methods are presented regarding detecting data drift. The data of interest can be batches of utterances received at an interface (e.g., a chatbot). The batches of utterances can be compared with topics present in training data utilized to train a data classifier (e.g., an autoencoder), wherein topics identified in the batches of utterances that are not present in the training data can be considered to be novel topics. The greater the presence of novel topics in a batch of utterances, the greater the divergence of the batch of utterances from the content of the training data. The novel topics can be identified and subsequently applied to the training data such that the data classifier can be re-trained with the novel topics, thereby causing the data classifier to be contemporaneous with the novel topics. In an embodiment, the utterances can be short streams of text, symbols, and suchlike.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2023Date of Patent: December 16, 2025Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ella Rabinovich, Matan Vetzler, Samuel Solomon Ackerman, Ateret Anaby - Tavor, Eitan Daniel Farchi, Orna Raz
