  • Patent number: 11995400
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving an image having characters that correspond to a language, and using a text recognition algorithm to determine a first language believed to correspond to the characters. A first confidence level associated with the first language is also computed, and a determination is made as to whether the first confidence level associated with the first language is outside a predetermined range. In response to determining that the first confidence level associated with the first language is not outside the predetermined range, the first language is output as the given language. The text recognition algorithm is trained using a simple shallow neural network and a generated mixed language corpus. The generated mixed language corpus is formed by: randomly sampling libraries having vocabulary and/or characters therein, and combining the randomly sampled vocabulary and/or characters to form the generated mixed language corpus.

  • Publication number: 20240168931
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for identifying and correcting model focus drift during model training. A model is trained using an original dataset with data, and the is classified into clusters. A representation is assigned to each of the clusters. A first visualization dashboard with visualizations is generated, where each visualization represents a first data distribution of an associated cluster using the representation assigned to that cluster. The model is fine-tuned using a fine-tune dataset. A second visualization dashboard is generated by updating each visualization, where each visualization represents a second data distribution of the associated cluster. It is determined that a cluster of the clusters has focus drift based on changes between the first data distribution and the second data distribution. The focus drift is corrected by: adding the data of the cluster to the fine-tune dataset to form a combined dataset and fine-tuning the model using the combined dataset.
