Abstract: A method of architecting machine learning pipelines is provided. Example implementations of the method include causing an apparatus to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) from which a computing platform is accessible to architect machine learning pipelines. In example implementations, the method includes for a machine learning pipeline for a phase in the machine learning lifecycle: building software components that are separate, distinct and encapsulate respective processes executable to implement the phase in the machine learning lifecycle, the software components including ports that are communication endpoints of the software components. The method further includes interconnecting the software components with connections attached to the ports and thereby forming a network of interconnected software components that embodies the machine learning pipeline.

Abstract: A computer-method for improving operation of a computer by validating incoming data provided to a tax evaluation software program. The computer-implemented method includes selecting a gate at which the data is to be validated. Selecting is performed from among a plurality of gates. Each of the plurality of gates comprises a corresponding pre-selected organization of validation rules which at least specifies a corresponding level of validation. The gate has a particular organization of validation rules at a particular level of validation. The computer-implemented method also includes validating the data at the gate. The computer-implemented method also includes performing machine learning analysis on the operation of validating the data to determine an applicability of other rules in other gates. The computer-implemented method also includes, responsive to detecting a failure in validation of the data at the gate, generating, and displaying on a display device, a cause for the failure.
