Validation of data in a database record using a reinforcement learning algorithm

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to validate data assigned to one or more fields in each of a plurality of database records by:
• maintaining a plurality of records in a database, each record of the plurality of records comprising a record of a service provided to a consumer by a service provider of a plurality of service providers, the one or more fields of each record comprising a code related to the service and wherein the records management and processing system comprises an intermediary between systems of the plurality of service providers and systems of a plurality of responsible entities;
• defining a plurality of goals for the validating of the data assigned to the one or more fields, each goal related to a different possible result of the validating of the data assigned to the one or more fields;
• defining a weight for each goal of the plurality of goals for the validating of the data assigned to the one or more fields;
• selecting one or more records of the plurality of records using a reinforcement learning algorithm and based on an expected return value for further processing of the selected one or more records, wherein the expected return value is based on the weight for each goal of the plurality of goals for the validating of the data assigned to the one or more fields and a probability of satisfying each defined goal by further processing of the record;
• and
• processing the selected one or more records according to one or more workflows executed by the records management and processing system.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions stored therein which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to validate data assigned to one or more fields in each of a plurality of database records by:

• maintaining a plurality of records in a database, each record of the plurality of records comprising a record of a service provided to a consumer by a service provider of a plurality of service providers, the one or more fields of each record comprising a code related to the service and wherein the records management and processing system comprises an intermediary between systems of the plurality of service providers and systems of a plurality of responsible entities;
• defining a plurality of goals for the validating of the data assigned to the one or more fields, each goal related to a different possible result of the validating of the data assigned to the one or more fields;
• defining a weight for each goal of the plurality of goals for the validating of the data assigned to the one or more fields;
• selecting one or more records of the plurality of records using a reinforcement learning algorithm and based on an expected return value for further processing of the selected one or more records, wherein the expected return value is based on the weight for each goal of the plurality of goals for the validating of the data assigned to the one or more fields and a probability of satisfying each defined goal by further processing of the record;
• and
• processing the selected one or more records according to one or more workflows executed by the records management and processing system.
