  • Patent number: 11574011
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product provides improved performance in machine learning, decision making and similar processes. In one example method, a plurality of individual subsets of features of a dataset comprising multiple features are received. The subsets may be provided by applying one or more feature selection methods to the dataset. Each subset is represented as a graph based on a predefined graph template. The example method merges the graphs of the plurality of individual subsets by overlaying the graphs on each other to form a merged feature graph. The merged feature graph may be used for identifying a single subset of features for use in machine learning, decision making and similar processes.

  • Patent number: 11106716
    Abstract: A hierarchical document classification system is disclosed. The system includes a text-based document classifier model for classifying an input electronic document into one of a set of predefined document categories. The system further includes an image-based metadata identification model for classifying electronic documents of a particular document category into a set of metadata categories. The system further includes a fuzzy text matcher for supplementing classification accuracy of the image-based metadata identification model to obtain a metadata category for the input electronic document.

  • Patent number: 10990903
    Abstract: A self-learning system for categorizing log entries may be provided. The system may display a first log entry and receive a categorical identifier for the first log entry. The system may parse the first log entry for predetermined text information and predetermined image information. The predetermined text information may be included in a datafield classifier and the predetermined image information included in a metadata classifier. The system may identify the predetermined text information in the log entry and adjust a first prioritization of respective categorical identifiers included in the datafield classifier. The system may identify the predetermined image information in the first log entry and adjust a second prioritization of the respective categorical identifiers included in the metadata classifier. The system may map a second log entry to the categorical identifier based on adjustment of the first prioritization or adjustment of the second prioritization.

  • Patent number: 10929775
    Abstract: A system for self-learning archival of electronic data may be provided. A binary classifier may identify a text segment of an electronic dataset in response to text of the electronic dataset being associated with indicators of a word model. A first multiclass classifier may generate a first classification set comprising respective statistical metrics for the datafield that each predefined identifier in a group of predefined identifiers is representative of the datafield. A second multiclass classifier may receive a context of the electronic dataset and generate a second classification set. A combination classifier may apply weight values to the first classification set and the second classification set and form a weighted classification set and select a predefined identifier as being representative of the datafield based on the weighted classification set. The processor may store, in a memory, a data record comprising an association between the predefined identifier and the datafield.

  • Patent number: 10489502
    Abstract: A document processing system receives an electronic document including component documents generated from various sources in different formats. Plain text data can be extracted from the electronic document in addition to formatting and structuring information. The plain text data is segmented into sections and various entities are extracted and linked from the sections. An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that displays content including the plain text data is formatted according to the styling information and annotated entity relationships are determined from the linked entities. The GUI enables user edits to the annotated entity relationships.

  • Publication number: 20190006027
    Abstract: This document describes systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for automatically identifying and extracting medical conditions and supporting evidences from electronic health records. In some implementations, formatted text extracted from an unstructured electronic health record is obtained. The formatted text is segmented into multiple documents, wherein each document comprises a respective document type and represents a respective document encounter. Medical condition entities and supporting evidence entities referenced in each of the multiple documents are extracted. Extracted supporting evidence entities within a same document are linked to respective extracted medical condition entities from the same document using one or more of i) medical ontologies, or ii) a medical knowledge base. Output data representing linked supporting evidence entities and medical condition entities within a same document is provided.
