Cross-hierarchical machine learning prediction

Abstract

A method including training, using training data including a first ontological hierarchical level, trained machine learning models (MLMs) to predict a first output type including a second ontological hierarchical level different than the first ontological hierarchical level. The method also includes generating instances of the first output type by executing the trained MLMs on unknown data including the first ontological hierarchical level. Outputs of the trained MLMs include the instances at the second ontological hierarchical level. The method also includes training, using the instances, a voting classifier MLM to predict a selected instance from the instances. The voting classifier MLM is trained to predict the selected instance to satisfy a criterion including a third ontological hierarchical level different than the first ontological hierarchal level and the second ontological hierarchical level.
