US Patent 11106979 Unsupervised learning of entity representations using graphs

Techniques for implementing a learning semantic representations of sparse entities using unsupervised embeddings are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a computer system accesses corresponding profile data of users indicating at least one entity of a first facet type associated with the user, and generating a graph data structure comprising nodes and edges based on the accessed profile data, with each node corresponding to a different entity indicated by the accessed profile data, and each edge directly connecting a different pair of nodes and indicating a number of users whose profile data indicates both entities of the pair of nodes. The computer system generating a corresponding embedding vector for the entities based on the graph data structure using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm.
