US Patent 11960846 Embedding inference

Systems and methods are presented for inferring an embedding vector of an item of a first type into the embedding space. Upon receiving a first time for which there is no embedding vector, documents of a document corpus that include (co-occurrence) both the received item and other items of the same type are identified. Of those other items that have embedding vectors, those embedding vectors are retrieved and averaged. The resulting averaged embedding vector is established as an inferred embedding vector for the received item.
