Abstract

Methods and systems disclosed herein relate generally to data processing by applying machine learning techniques to iteration data to identify anomaly subsets of iteration data. More specifically, iteration data for individual iterations of a workflow involving a set of tasks may contain a client data set, client-associated sparse indicators and their classifications, and a set of processing times for the set of tasks performed in that iteration of the workflow. These individual iterations of the workflow may also be associated with particular data sources. Using the iteration data, anomaly subsets within the iteration data can be identified, such as data items resulting from systematic error associated with particular data sources, sets of sparse indicators to be validated or double-checked, or tasks that are associated with long processing times. The anomaly subsets can be provided in a generated communication or report in order to optimize future iterations of the workflow.
