Abstract
A numerical value is obtained and the numerical value is preprocessed by adding a digit count before the numerical value to generate a modified numerical value, the digit count indicating a count of digits in the numerical value. The modified numerical value is provided to a machine learning model pretrained to understand the modified numerical value that comprises the digit count and the modified numerical value is processed using the pre-trained machine learning model.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a numerical value;
