Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Multi-tiered information retrieval training." This patent discloses methods and systems for multi-tiered information retrieval training. The method includes identifying results in a ranked ordering of results that can be swapped without changing a score determined using a first ranking quality measure. It also involves determining a first vector and at least one other vector for each identified swappable result in the ranked ordering of results based on the first ranking quality measure and at least one other ranking quality measure respectively. The first vector and the at least one other vector for each identified swappable result are added to obtain a function of these vectors, which is then accessible for use in multi-tiered information retrieval training.
Another significant patent is related to "Hierarchical models for language modeling." This implementation focuses on natural language processing, particularly in training a language prior model using a model structure. The language prior model can be trained using parameterized representations of lexical structures such as training sentences, as well as parameterized representations of lexical units like words or n-grams. During training, these representations can be adjusted using the model structure, allowing the parameterized representations of the lexical structures to reflect how the lexical units were utilized.
