Abstract: Tabular data machine-learning model techniques and systems are described. In one example, common-sense knowledge is infused into training data through use of a knowledge graph to provide external knowledge to supplement a tabular data corpus. In another example, a dual-path architecture is employed to configure an adapter module. In an implementation, the adapter module is added as part of a pre-trained machine-learning model for general purpose tabular models. Specifically, dual-path adapters are trained using the knowledge graphs and semantically augmented trained data. A path-wise attention layer is applied to fuse a cross-modality representation of the two paths for a final result.

Abstract: Adapting a machine learning model to process data that differs from training data used to configure the model for a specified objective is described. A domain adaptation system trains the model to process new domain data that differs from a training data domain by using the model to generate a feature representation for the new domain data, which describes different content types included in the new domain data. The domain adaptation system then generates a probability distribution for each discrete region of the new domain data, which describes a likelihood of the region including different content described by the feature representation. The probability distribution is compared to ground truth information for the new domain data to determine a loss function, which is used to refine model parameters. After determining that model outputs achieve a threshold similarity to the ground truth information, the model is output as a domain-agnostic model.
