US Patent 11200514 Semi-supervised classification system

Unclassified observations are classified. Similarity values are computed for each unclassified observation and for each target variable value. A confidence value is computed for each unclassified observation using the similarity values. A high-confidence threshold value and a low-confidence threshold value are computed from the confidence values. For each observation, when the confidence value is greater than the high-confidence threshold value, the observation is added to a training dataset and, when the confidence value is greater than the low-confidence threshold value and less than the high-confidence threshold value, the observation is added to the training dataset based on a comparison between a random value drawn from a uniform distribution and an inclusion percentage value. A classification model is trained with the training dataset and classified observations. The trained classification model is executed with the unclassified observations to determine a label assignment.
