Systems and methods for auto-completing fields on digital forms

Abstract

Systems and methods described herein relate to determining whether to provide auto-completed values for fields in a digital form. More specifically, for a given field in the digital form, a machine-learning model can be trained to transform an input data set into a predicted field value and can further generate a corresponding confidence metric. A relative-loss parameter can be determined for the field, where the relative-loss parameter represents a loss of responding to an inaccurate predicted field value for the field relative to a loss corresponding to a human user providing a field value for the field. A confidence-metric threshold can be determined for the field based on the relative-loss parameter. For a given usage of the digital form, it can then be determined whether to auto-complete the field with a predicted field value generated by the model by determining whether the corresponding confidence metric exceeds the confidence-metric threshold.
