Abstract:
A method of operating a health tracking system is disclosed. The method comprises: receiving a first data record comprising at least a first descriptive string regarding a consumable item, the first descriptive string having at least one word thereof incorrectly spelled; generating a vector using the first descriptive string using a machine learning model; identifying a second descriptive string which corresponds to the consumable item and which has a correct spelling of the at least one incorrectly spelled word by applying the machine learning model to the generated vector; calculating a confidence factor regarding the identified second descriptive string using the machine learning model; and when it is determined that the confidence factor exceeds a predetermined threshold, (i) modifying the first data record by replacing the first descriptive string with the second descriptive string, and (ii) storing the modified first data record in the database.
