Publication number: 20220382794Abstract: Embodiments provide an apparatus, method and computer program product for generating validated attribute descriptors related to natural language processing. Natural language processing is performed to determine a set of attribute descriptors associated with textual information. An attribute descriptor cleaning process is then performed with respect to the set of attribute descriptors to determine a subset of attribute descriptors. Each attribute descriptor of the subset of attribute descriptors is compared to an attribute descriptor record to identify one or more common attribute descriptors. Additionally, a validated list of attribute descriptors is generated by removing the one or more common attribute descriptors from the subset of attribute descriptors.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Gaston L'Huillier, Jonathan Esterhazy, Dor Levi, Amit Koren, Daniel Langdon, Bhupesh Bansal, Feras Karablieh, Hernan Enrique Arroyo Garcia, Srinivasa Raghavan Vedanarayanan, Shawn Ryan Jeffery, Francisco Jose Larrain

Publication number: 20220180250Abstract: In general, embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for an adaptive oracle-trained learning framework for automatically building and maintaining models that are developed using machine learning algorithms. In embodiments, the framework leverages at least one oracle (e.g., a crowd) for automatic generation of high-quality training data to use in deriving a model. Once a model is trained, the framework monitors the performance of the model and, in embodiments, leverages active learning and the oracle to generate feedback about the changing data for modifying training data sets while maintaining data quality to enable incremental adaptation of the model.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Shawn Ryan Jeffery, David Alan Johnston
