  • Publication number: 20220374405
    Abstract: Described herein is a regulatory parser that downloads and efficiently processes regulatory documents. The regulatory documents may be from different sources and may have different formats. The regulatory parser parses all of the text in the regulatory documents and converts into a predetermined, single format for downstream applications. The text is organized and stored in a structured tree, organized into one or more hierarchies with nodes storing segments of text from a regulatory document. In some embodiments, each node in the regulatory tree may represent a segment of text. Partitioning the text of a regulatory document into segments of text may make the storage and querying of the regulatory documents more manageable. The organization and structure of the structured tree may reduce the times and resources needed for accessing and searching for a regulatory citation. The structured tree may allow a user to manipulate a regulatory document or text.

  • Patent number: 11510168
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generate proximal groupings of wireless signals based upon the temporal persistence and spatial proximity of the wireless signals as observed by a plurality of observer devices. For example, a first observer device may observe a first set of wireless signals at a first timepoint and a second observer device may observe a second set of wireless signals at a second timepoint. The first observer device may again observe a third set of wireless signals at a third timepoint. Based upon these observations, a server may generate a proximal grouping a wireless signals containing a subset of the first, second, third of wireless signals based upon temporal persistence and spatial proximity. Temporal persistence may be based upon the repeated observations of the subset of wireless signals across different timepoints and the spatial proximity may be based upon the proximity of locations of the observer devices.

  • Patent number: 11349941
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprising an analytic server, which builds a pipeline of five classifiers to validate whether an electronic device is operated by a human user. The server monitors wireless signals detected by different electronic devices by triggering a signal scanning function on the electronic devices. Based on the wireless signals reported by different electronic devices, the server generates a set of signal clusters. The server applies the pipeline of five classifiers on the wireless signals detected by an electronic device by exploiting the signal clusters included in the wireless signals. If any of the classifiers determines the electronic device is a legitimate human device, the server validates the electronic device; otherwise, the server applies the next classifier. If after a number of classifiers, none of the classifiers validates the device usage, the server determines that the device is not operated by a human.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces for managing upskilling content are provided. An upskilling system ingests information regarding learners and regarding roles, including information regarding current skills (and skill levels) for individual learners and target skills (and skill levels) for roles. Skill gaps for learners are then identified based on the difference between current skills and target skills for a learner's role. The system selects upskilling content based on skill information associated with various pieces of upskilling content, wherein the selected content is selected such that the learner may reduce or eliminate a skill gap by consuming the selected content. The system associates upskilling content with role profiles for roles and/or with user profiles for learners. The system provides access to upskilling content, via a graphical user interface, for learners, and monitors consumption of upskilling content by learners.
