For example, sparsely active binary task and expert feature vectors are input to the selection engine which maps those feature vectors to a multi-dimensional trait space using a mapping learnt by the machine learning system. In examples, an inner product of the mapped vectors gives an estimate of a probability distribution over expert performance. In an embodiment the experts are automated problem solvers and the task is a hard combinatorial problem such as a constraint satisfaction problem or combinatorial auction. | 06-02-2011 |
20110218946 | PRESENTING CONTENT ITEMS USING TOPICAL RELEVANCE AND TRENDING POPULARITY - A user may request a presentation of a content item set, such as a social network comprising a set of status messages or an image database comprising a set of images. However, the volume and diversity of content items of the content item set may reduce the interest of the user in the presented content items. The potential interest of the user in the presented content items may be improved by selecting content items that are associated with one or more topics of potential interest to the user, and having a positive trending popularity among users of the content item set. Moreover, the interaction of the user with a presented content item may be monitored and used to determine the interest of the user in the topics associated with the presented content item and the popularity of the content item. | 09-08-2011 |
20120101965 | TOPIC MODELS - Machine learning techniques may be used to train computing devices to understand a variety of documents (e.g., text files, web pages, articles, spreadsheets, etc.). Machine learning techniques may be used to address the issue that computing devices may lack the human intellect used to understand such documents, such as their semantic meaning. Accordingly, a topic model may be trained by sequentially processing documents and/or their features (e.g., document author, geographical location of author, creation date, social network information of author, and/or document metadata). Additionally, as provided herein, the topic model may be used to predict probabilities that words, features, documents, and/or document corpora, for example, are indicative of particular topics. | 04-26-2012 |
20120150771 | Knowledge Corroboration - Knowledge corroboration is described. In an embodiment many judges provide answers to many questions so that at least one answer is provided to each question and at least some of the questions have answers from more than one judge. In an example a probabilistic learning system takes features describing the judges or the questions or both and uses those features to learn an expertise of each judge. For example, the probabilistic learning system has a graphical assessment component which aggregates the answers in a manner which takes into account the learnt expertise in order to determine enhanced answers. In an example the enhanced answers are used for knowledge base clean-up or web-page classification and the learnt expertise is used to select judges for future questions. In an example the probabilistic learning system has a logical component that propagates answers according to logical relations between the questions. | 06-14-2012 |
20120158620 | HUMAN-ASSISTED TRAINING OF AUTOMATED CLASSIFIERS - Many computing scenarios involve the classification of content items within one or more categories. The content item set may be too large for humans to classify, but an automated classifier (e.g., an artificial neural network) may not be able to classify all content items with acceptable accuracy. Instead, the automated classifier may calculate a classification confidence while classifying respective content items. Content items having a low classification confidence may be sent to a human classifier, and may be added, along with the categories identified by the human classifier, to a training set. The automated classifier may then be retrained using the training set, thereby incrementally improving the classification confidence of the automated classifier while conserving the involvement of human classifiers. Additionally, human classifiers may be rewarded for classifying the content items, and the costs of such rewards may be considered while selecting content items for the training set. | 06-21-2012 |
