14 Claims

1. A method for insight creation transparency, the method comprising:

receiving, at an insight service, a transparent insight query comprising a query expression, wherein the transparent insight query is transmitted by a device of an organization user;

extracting one or more expression keywords from the query expression;

obtaining a metadata graph representative of an asset catalog, wherein the metadata graph is a connected graph that maps a data structure configured to maintain asset metadata that describes a collection of assets known to the insight service;

filtering, based on the one or more expression keywords, the metadata graph to identify a node subset, wherein filtering comprises keyword matching and semantic similarity calculations;

generating a k-partite metadata graph using the node subset;

creating a non-interactive query result based on the k-partite metadata graph, wherein creating the non-interactive query result based on the k-partite metadata graph, comprises:

traversing the k-partite metadata graph to identify an insight-pertinent metadata subgraph;

identifying, from the asset catalog, an asset catalog subset based on the insight-pertinent metadata subgraph;

obtaining an asset metadata corpus from the asset catalog subset;

producing, based on the asset metadata corpus, the insight and the manifest listing a set of insight-pertinent assets; and

creating the non-interactive query result comprising the insight and the manifest listing the set of insight-pertinent assets,

wherein the non-interactive query result comprises an insight inferred to address the transparent insight query, a manifest listing providing a set of insight-pertinent assets represents information providing transparency as to how the insight had been produced, a model input snapshot listing inputs used to infer the insight, and a model snapshot revealing a technique used to infer the insight; and

transmitting the non-interactive query result to the device of the organization user.
