US Patent 11568260 Exponential modeling with deep learning features

Aspects of the present disclosure enable humanly-specified relationships to contribute to a mapping that enables compression of the output structure of a machine-learned model. An exponential model such as a maximum entropy model can leverage a machine-learned embedding and the mapping to produce a classification output. In such fashion, the feature discovery capabilities of machine-learned models (e.g., deep networks) can be synergistically combined with relationships developed based on human understanding of the structural nature of the problem to be solved, thereby enabling compression of model output structures without significant loss of accuracy. These compressed models provide improved applicability to “on device” or other resource-constrained scenarios.
