MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUE FOR AUTOMATIC MODELING OF MULTIPLE-VALUED OUTPUTS

摘要

A method and system are disclosed for training a model that implements a machine-learning algorithm. The technique utilizes latent descriptor vectors to change a multiple-valued output problem into a single-valued output problem and includes the steps of receiving a set of training data, processing, by a model, the set of training data to generate a set of output vectors, and adjusting a set of model parameters and component values for at least one latent descriptor vector in the plurality of latent descriptor vectors based on the set of output vectors. The set of training data includes a plurality of input vectors and a plurality of desired output vectors, and each input vector in the plurality of input vectors is associated with a particular latent descriptor vector in a plurality of latent descriptor vectors. Each latent descriptor vector comprises a plurality of scalar values that are initialized prior to training the model.
