UNSUPERVISED METHOD TO GENERATE ANNOTATIONS FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING TASKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243782 titled 'UNSUPERVISED METHOD TO GENERATE ANNOTATIONS FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING TASKS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for training a machine learning model using parallel annotations of source instances while ensuring the security of the source instances. This is achieved by generating a coupled machine learning model from two existing models: one trained on unannotated natural language and the other trained on populated target templates. The coupled model can then transform unannotated natural language into annotated machine-readable text.

  • The method involves training a machine learning model with parallel annotations of source instances.
  • The source instances are kept secure during the training process.
  • A coupled machine learning model is generated by combining two existing models.
  • One model is trained on unannotated natural language.
  • The other model is trained on populated target templates.
  • The coupled model can transform unannotated natural language into annotated machine-readable text.

Potential Applications

  • Natural language processing and understanding
  • Machine translation
  • Text summarization
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Chatbots and virtual assistants

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring the security of source instances during machine learning model training
  • Improving the accuracy and efficiency of natural language processing tasks
  • Enabling the transformation of unannotated natural language into annotated machine-readable text

Benefits

  • Enhanced security and privacy of source instances
  • Improved accuracy and quality of machine learning models
  • Faster and more efficient processing of natural language data
  • Enables the development of advanced natural language processing applications


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for training a machine learning model with parallel annotations of source instances and while facilitating security of the source instances can be performed by a system that generates a coupled machine learning model from (1) a first machine learning model trained on a first set of training data comprising unannotated natural language and (2) a second machine learning model trained on populated target templates which are populated with a plurality of vocabulary words. Once formed, the coupled machine learning model is configured to transform unannotated natural language into annotated machine-readable text.
