Abstract

Hybrid classification system and method are described. The method commences when an input detector detects a raw input string that represents a value of a category in a member profile maintained by the on-line social network. The machine learning classifier derives a standardized value corresponding to the raw input string. The trigger module provides the raw input string to the correcting filter. The correcting filter determines a corrected standardized value corresponding to the raw input string based on the raw input string and a corrective rule. The label module then identifies the member profile as associate with the corrected standardized value.
