  • Patent number: 11645523
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for generating generate explanatory paths for column annotations determined using a knowledge graph and a deep representation learning model. For instance, the disclosed systems can utilize a knowledge graph to generate an explanatory path for a column label determination from a deep representation learning model. For example, the disclosed systems can identify a column and determine a label for the column using a knowledge graph (e.g., a representation of a knowledge graph) that includes encodings of columns, column features, relational edges, and candidate labels. Then, the disclosed systems can determine a set of candidate paths between the column and the determined label for the column within the knowledge graph. Moreover, the disclosed systems can generate an explanatory path by ranking and selecting paths from the set of candidate paths using a greedy ranking and/or diversified ranking approach.

  • Patent number: 11562234
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamically determining schema labels for columns regardless of information availability within the columns. For example, the disclosed systems can identify a column that contains an arbitrary amount of information (e.g., a header-only column, a cell-only column, or a whole column). Additionally, the disclosed systems can generate a vector embedding for an arbitrary input column by selectively using a header neural network and/or a cell neural network based on whether the column includes a header label and/or whether the column includes a populated column cell. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can compare the column vector embedding to schema vector embeddings of candidate schema labels in a d-dimensional space to determine a schema label for the column.

  • Publication number: 20220100714
    Abstract: Systems and methods for lifelong schema matching are described. The systems and methods include receiving data comprising a plurality of information categories, classifying each information category according to a schema comprising a plurality of classes, wherein the classification is performed by a neural network classifier trained based on a lifelong learning technique using a plurality of exemplar training sets, wherein each of the exemplar training sets includes a plurality of examples corresponding to one of the classes, and wherein the examples are selected based on a metric indicating how well each of the examples represents the corresponding class, and adding the data to a database based on the classification, wherein the database is organized according to the schema.
