Patent 8244651 was granted and assigned to Google on August, 2012 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for suggesting training examples. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of training examples. A plurality of different types of predictive models are trained using the received training examples, wherein each of the predictive models implements a different machine learning technique. The performance of each trained model is measured. A suggestion score is computed for each training example according to each respective trained model, including weighting each suggestion score by the measured performance of the respective trained model. The computed suggestion scores for each training example are combined to compute an overall suggestion score for each training example, and the training examples are ranked by suggestion scores.
