COMBINING RULES-BASED KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING WITH MACHINE LEARNING PREDICTION

Abstract:

Systems and methods for predicting one or more field values using machine learning in a knowledge engineering (KE) data model are disclosed. An example method may include identifying a first field in the KE data model which lacks a value and for which one or more machine learning models are defined, the first field being associated with one or more dependent field, determining that each dependent field of the first field has a corresponding value in the KE data model, executing each of the one or more machine learning models to predict one or more values for the first field, selecting one of the one or more predicted values as the representative value of the first field, identifying one or more further fields in the KE data model for which the first field is a dependent field, none of the one or more further fields defining any machine learning models, and calculating values for one or more further fields based at least in part on the representative value of the first field.
