  • Patent number: 11526688
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a method for terminology ranking for use in natural language processing. The method comprises receiving a list of terms extracted from a corpus, where the list comprises a ranking of the terms based on frequencies of the terms across the corpus. The method further comprises accessing a domain ontology associated with the corpus, and re-ranking the list based on the domain ontology. The resulting re-ranked list comprises a different ranking of the terms based on relevance of the terms using knowledge from the domain ontology. The method further comprises generating clusters of terms via a trained model adapted to the corpus, and boosting a rank of at least one term of the re-ranked list based on the clusters to increase a relevance of the at least one term using knowledge from the trained model.

  • Patent number: 11481602
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to system and method for hierarchical category classification of products. Generally in supervised hierarchical classification, the hierarchy structure is predefined. However, majority of the current machine learning methods either expect the model to learn the hierarchy from the data or requires separate models trained at each level taking the prediction of previous level as an additional input, thereby increasing latency in achieving training accuracy and/or requiring an explicit maintenance module to orchestrate inference and retrain multiple models (corresponding to the number of levels in the hierarchy). The disclosed method and system allows the predefined knowledge about hierarchy drive the learning process of a single model, which predicts all levels of the hierarchy. The disclosed multi-layer network model arrives at a consensus based on prediction at each level, thereby increasing the accuracy of prediction and reducing the training time.

  • Patent number: 11449506
    Abstract: A unified access layer (UAL) and scalable query engine receive queries from various interfaces and executes the queries with respect to non-heterogeneous data management and analytic computing platforms that are sources of record for data they store. Query performance is monitored and used to generate a query performance model. The query performance model may be used to generate alternatives for queries of users or groups of users or to generate policies for achieving a target performance. Performance may be improved by monitoring queries and retrieving catalog data for databases referenced and generating a recommendation model according to them. Duplicative or overlapping sources may be identified based on the monitoring and transformations to improve accuracy and security may be suggested. A recommendation model may be generated based on analysis of queries received through the UAL. Transformations may be performed according to the recommendation model in order to improve performance.

  • Patent number: 11113324
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for classifying unstructured datasets according to a classification system and generating an enhanced, classified and structured data-set enabling efficient supplemental computer-based processing. The exemplary computer-implemented classification algorithms involve, for each entry in the input dataset, semantically interpreting a text-based occupation description, analyzing the description according to an ontology of interrelated “concepts” and identifying semantically relevant concept(s) and any associated descriptors specific to the classification system. The system is also configured to expand the list of relevant concepts to include concepts that bear a relationship thereto, scoring the various concepts and associated descriptors and identifying the concept(s) and descriptors that most accurately correspond to the input data.

  • Patent number: 11093557
    Abstract: A system to extract relevant keywords or business tags that describe a company's business is provided. The keyword extraction system utilizes a smart crawler to identify and crawl product pages from a company's website. These pages serve to provide textual descriptions of product offerings, solutions, or services that make up the company's business. The keyword extraction system combines these web documents with other textual descriptions of companies, e.g. from third party data vendors or other public data sources and company databases, to form a corpus of documents that describe companies. The corpus of documents and keywords are processed to segment the plurality of companies into subsets by applying a clustering technique and to provide visualization of the clusters with business tags.

  • Patent number: 11030228
    Abstract: Documents needing to be analyzed for various reasons, such as financial crimes, are ranked by examining the topicality and sentiment present in each document for a given subject of interest. In one approach a given document is classified to determine its category, and entity recognition is used to identify the subject of interest. Passages from the document that relate to the entity are grouped and analyzed for sentiment to generate a sentiment score. Documents are then ranked based on the sentiment scores. In another approach, a classification probability score is computed for each passage representing a likelihood that the passage relates to a category of interest, and the document is ranked based on the sentiment scores and the classification probability scores. The category classification uses an ensemble of natural language text classifiers. One of the classifiers is a naïve Bayes classifier with feature vectors generated using Word2Vec modeling.

  • Patent number: 11017180
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for the interpretation and routing of short text messages, such as those that might be received as part of a “chat” between a customer and a customer service representative. In some embodiments, this is achieved by constructing word “vectors” based on the text in a message, with a token corresponding to each word. The word vectors are then compared to a set of mutually orthogonal unit vectors representing the “classes” or “categories” of messages that are received and are intended to be acted upon by a person or automated process. The orthogonal class unit vectors are generated by training a machine learning model using a set of previously classified text or messages.
