  • Publication number: 20250014373
    Abstract: A plurality of weak label augmenters of different paradigms are integrated into a framework using robust training and negative instance filtering. A first of the augmenters extracts first weak labels from unlabeled data, a second of the augmenters extracts second weak labels from the unlabeled data. The robust training is used with an objective to downweight the probability of entities belonging to the wrong category. The first and second weak labels are filtered using an instance filter to update a high-precision training set shared by the plurality of augmenters. The plurality of augmenters are iteratively retrained using the updated high-precision training set to improve recognition performance over iterations.

  • Patent number: 12079280
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method relate to natural language processing. A candidate is selected based on a query. The candidate includes a question and an answer to that question. The candidate is classified as belonging to a class. The class indicates that the candidate is relevant to the query. The class is selected from among a group of classes, which includes at least that class and another class. The another class indicates that the candidate has the answer to the query. Upon classifying the candidate as belonging to the class, a machine learning system is configured to generate a relevant response for the query upon receiving the query and the question as input data.

  • Publication number: 20240112014
    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are directed to a Co-Augmentation framework that may learn new rules and labels simultaneously from unlabeled data with a small set of seed rules and a few manually labeled training data. The augmented rules and labels are further used to train supervised neural network models. Specifically, the systems and methods described herein include two major components: a rule augmenter, and a label augmenter. The rule augmenter is directed to learning new rules, which can be used to obtain weak labels from unlabeled data. The label augmenter is directed to learning new labels from unlabeled data. The Co-Augmentation framework is an iterative learning process which generates and refines a high precision set. At each iteration, both the rule augmenter and label augmenter will contribute new and more accurate labels to the high precision set, which is in turn used to train both the rule augmenter and label augmenter.

  • Patent number: 11783179
    Abstract: A method of automatically generating a terminology definition knowledge base (KB) includes mapping each word in a word sequence to a real value dense vector using dense vector representations. The word sequence is then processed using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to identify whether the word sequence includes a terminology definition and to label the word sequence with a label indicating whether a terminology definition exists within the word sequence. The word sequence is then processed using a Conditional Random Field (CRF) model to identify boundaries of the terminology definition in the word sequence. The terminology definition is then extracted and added to the terminology definition KB.

  • Patent number: 11775763
    Abstract: Systems and methods for weakly-supervised training a machine-learning model to perform named-entity recognition. All possible entity candidates and all possible rule candidates are automatically identified in an input data set of unlabeled text. An initial training of the machine-learning model is performed using labels assigned to entity candidates by a set of seeding rules as a first set of training data. The trained machine-learning model is then applied to the unlabeled text and a subset of rules from the rule candidates is identified that produces labels that most accurately match the labels assigned by the trained machine-learning model. The machine-learning model is then retrained using the labels assigned by the identified subset of rules as the second set of training data. This process is iteratively repeated to further refine and improve the performance of the machine-learning model for named-entity recognition.

  • Patent number: 11669740
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training a machine-learning model for named-entity recognition. A rule graph is constructed including a plurality of nodes each corresponding to a different labeling rule of a set of labeling rules (including a set of seeding rules of known labeling accuracy and a plurality of candidate rules of unknown labeling accuracy). The nodes are coupled to other nodes based on which rules exhibit the highest sematic similarity. A labeling accuracy metric is estimated for each candidate rule by propagating a labeling confidence metric through the rule graph from the seeding rules to each candidate rule. A subset of labeling rules is then identified by ranking the rules by their labeling confidence metric. The identified subset of labeling rules is applied to unlabeled data to generate a set of weakly labeled named entities and the machine-learning model is trained based on the set of weakly labeled named entities.
