  • Patent number: 10540573
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automated computer text classification and routing using artificial intelligence transfer learning. A server captures historical story data from an Agile development tracking system. For each completed story, the server generates a vector based upon story-specific features and assigns a label to the vector based upon a cycle time associated with the story. The server trains a classification model using a neural network on the vectors and labels. The server captures new story data from the Agile development tracking system. For each new story, the server generates a vector based upon story-specific features and executes the trained model on the vector to generate a cycle time prediction for the new story. Based upon the cycle time prediction, the server identifies deficiencies in the new story and generates an alert message.

  • Patent number: 10528454
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for intelligent automation of computer software testing log aggregation, analysis, and error remediation. A client device generates test log files for software automation testing tools, each test log file comprising errors generated by execution of test scripts. The client device creates an archive file with the log files and transmits the files to a server. The server extracts the files from the archive file and parses each of the files to identify errors. The server aggregates errors from at least two of the files and transmits the aggregated errors to a log management message queue and a development message queue. The server generates a user interface and transmits the user interface to a remote device. The server also generates development change orders that, when executed by the server, create tasks in a development tracking system to resolve errors by changing development source code.

  • Patent number: 10521654
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for of recognizing handwritten characters in digital images using context-based machine learning. A server captures an image of a document that comprises one or more handwritten data fields, the document associated with a user identifier. The server identifies a field type for each handwritten data field in the image. The server creates a pixel intensity array for each character in each handwritten data field and determines whether a user-specific character map exists for the user identifier. If a map exists, the server retrieves the map and generates digital form data by executing a user-specific handwriting classifier using the map, the pixel intensity arrays, and the field types. If a map does not exist, the server builds a map based upon the pixel intensity arrays and generates digital form data by executing a baseline handwriting classifier using the map, the pixel intensity arrays, and the field types.

  • Patent number: 10476696
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for monitoring usage and adjusting operational characteristics of physical assets. Asset sensors capture temperature data and x-y-z coordinate displacement data associated with a physical asset. A reference sensor captures temperature data of a defined physical area. For each asset sensor, a server computing device monitors the temperature data and the x-y-z coordinate displacement data. The server applies triggers to the temperature data and the displacement data to determine whether a change event occurred. The server records the temperature data and the displacement data when a change event occurred for the physical asset. The server generates instructions comprising a change to: an operational state or an availability of the physical asset. The server transmits the instructions to a remote device associated with the physical asset. The remote device executes the instructions to change: the operational state or the availability of the physical asset.

  • Patent number: 10469489
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for authenticating an identity of a user requesting execution of a computerized transaction via a first client computing device. The first device and a second client computing device in proximity each execute applications for communicating with a server. The first and second devices contemporaneously capture voice sequences including at least one audible sound vocalized by the user, and a timestamp indicating when the sound is captured. The identity of the user is validated based upon a determination that the user vocalized the pass phrase, and a difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp is below a predetermined threshold. The first device executes a computerized transaction with the server computing device upon receiving validation of the identity of the user.

  • Patent number: 10467360
    Abstract: A method is described for dynamically determining availability of a computing resource. An application session is established, and an application session data matrix is generated including parameters specifying aspects of the application session, an application associated with the application session, and a computing resource on which the application session depends. A component signature block is derived based on the parameters of the application session data matrix. The component signature block identifies the computing resource on which the application session depends and a total number of sessions dependent on the computing resource. A metric signature block is generated based on one or more parameters of the application session data matrix and the component signature block. The metric signature block is classified according to one or more probability models. A computing resource availability rating for the computing resource is derived based on an output of the one or more probability models.

  • Patent number: 10445170
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for data lineage identification and change impact prediction. Servers capture metadata that defines data objects associated with data sources. The servers determine direct relationships between data sources based upon the captured metadata. The servers identify indirect relationships between the data sources. The servers generate a data lineage across the data sources for the data objects. The servers extract unstructured text from database incident tickets and match the unstructured text to the metadata. The servers generate a multidimensional vector for the data objects based upon the data lineage and the unstructured text. The servers train a classification model using the vectors to predict a change impact score for each data object. The servers receive a request to change a data object. The servers determine a change impact score for the data object. When the score is below a threshold, the servers execute the change.
