Feature-insensitive machine learning models

Abstract

Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework that configures a machine learning model to be insensitive to changes in input features. A computer modeling system determines data sources from which attribute values associated with transactions can be obtained. Instead of configuring the machine learning model to accept the attribute values as inputs, the computer modeling system may configure the machine learning model to accept a vector representation in a multi-dimensional space as input values. The computer modeling system then generates an encoder for each data source. Each encoder is configured to encode attribute values from a corresponding data source to a representation representing the attribute values. Further, each encoder is trained to minimize a variance between outputs of the different encoders. The computer modeling system determines a vector representation based on the representations generated by the encoders and provide the vector representation to the machine learning model.
