Summary

The invention relates, generally, to the field of machine learning models wherein the machine learning model receives a request and produces a decision. The invention attempts to ensure that the machine learning model does not iterate away from producing high quality decisions by comparing the machine learning output with a baseline assurance value provided by a statistical model. This comparison influences the machine learning model applied to subsequent requests.

The Hearing Officer applied the four-step approach set out in the Court of Appeal judgment in Aerotel, and considered the signposts provided by AT&T/CVON. The Hearing Officer found the contribution fell solely within the excluded matter as a computer programme as such. The application was refused.
