Abstract
A method for performing data processing through a pipeline of components includes receiving a set of training observations, each including partial user feedback relating to error in data output by the pipeline for respective input data. Some pipeline components commit errors for at least some of the input data, contributing to an error in the respective output data. A prediction model models a probability of a pipeline component committing an error, given input data. Model parameters are learned using the training observations. For a new observation which includes input data and, optionally, partial user feedback indicating that an error has occurred in processing the new input data, without specifying which pipeline component(s) contributed to the observed error in the output data, a prediction is made as to which of the pipeline components contributed to the error in the output (if any).
