  • Patent number: 11651276
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a group of representative model cases for a trained machine learning model may be provided. The method comprising determining an input space, determining an initial plurality of model cases, and expanding the initial plurality of model cases by stepwise modifying field values of the records representing the initial plurality of model cases resulting in an exploration set of model cases. Additionally, the method comprises obtaining a model score value for each record of the exploration set of model cases, continuing the expansion of the exploration set of model cases thereby generating a refined model case set, and selecting the records in the refined model case set based on relative record distance values and related model score values between pairs of records, thereby generating the group of representative model cases.

  • Patent number: 11176429
    Abstract: A system for enhancing a classifier prediction in respect to underrepresented classes may be provided. A classifier system trained with training data to build a model is used for classifying unknown input data, and an evaluator engine adapted for a determination of an underrepresented class. Additionally, the system comprises an extractor engine adapted for an extraction of relating data from an additional source, and a similarity engine adapted for a selection of data sets out of the relating data wherein the similarity engine is also adapted for comparing features of the relating data and a representative data set for the underrepresented class. Finally, the system comprises a recursion unit adapted for triggering the evaluator engine, the extractor engine and the similarity engine treating selected data set as input data until the evaluator engine classifies the selected data set with a confidence level which is above a confidence threshold level.
