  • Patent number: 11403597
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a first embedding generated by a topic model from parameters of searches by a first recruiting entity and obtains a set of additional embeddings generated by the topic model from attributes of a set of candidates. Next, the system determines match features that include measures of similarity between the first embedding and each embedding in the set of additional embeddings. The system then applies a machine learning model to the match features and additional features for the candidates to produce a set of scores for the candidates. Finally, the system generates a ranking of the candidates according to the scores and outputs at least a portion of the ranking as search results of a current search by the first recruiting entity.

  • Patent number: 11386515
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described, and an example system includes, in association with an intermediate, a server and a validation module on the server. The server receives a communication from a mobile device, carrying a customs information. The validation module performs a validation on the customs information and in association with an affirmative validation outcome stores the customs information as a validated information. Upon an occurrence, optionally an event and optionally a time, the validation module sends the validated information to an authorization authority server for vetting. The intermediate server receives an electronic receipt from the authorization authority server, the receipt including an indication of a result of the vetting, and communicates, via the network, the receipt to the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11373257
    Abstract: A data linking system is described herein that links data records corresponding to a particular real estate property even if there are inconsistencies in the data records, the physical presence of the real estate property has changed over time, and/or the data records use different terminology. In some cases the data records are matched using a trained machine learning model. The data linking system can optionally generate a visualization of the data record linkage via interactive user interfaces. By linking data records despite the issues described above, the data linking system reduces the number of navigational steps a user performs to obtain data associated with a property and/or reduces data processing times. The disclosed system may be used to generate and maintain a comprehensive database of substantially all properties within a jurisdiction, in which a unique identifier is assigned to each property.

  • Patent number: 11373146
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically generating job descriptions. Job categories are identified for the documents in the job description dataset based on clustering the documents. Sections within each document in the job description dataset are automatically identified, and each identified section is automatically classified. Each type of section is analyzed independently of the other section types using natural language processing, which allows automatic generation of each section of a new job description based on the section-specific data derived from the dataset. Section- and category-specific selective phrases are identified within the job description dataset, and embeddings are generated for the identified selective phrases. A request to generate a new job description for a particular category is received.

  • Patent number: 11244364
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed toward unified modeling of technology towers. Template information that corresponds to a technology tower may be selected by a user such that the template information identifies cost items, cost pools, and cost drivers. Cost information corresponding to the cost items may be determined from a dataset and mapped to the cost pools based on the template information. Cost driver information for the cost drivers may be determined from the information that was included in the dataset. A technology tower may be generated based on the cost pools and the cost drivers such that the cost pools and cost drivers correspond to the cost items. The technology tower may be provided to an application for generating one or more financial models. Key performance indicators for cost items may be generated based on the cost pools and the cost drivers.

  • Patent number: 11232408
    Abstract: A computing system includes a processing device to execute instructions to: store a trained modeling function that embodies a correlation between historical ratings and historical evaluation results of recorded responses that were responsive to prompts presented to a set of persons; receive a request to initiate a digital evaluation process for a second person; receive recorded responses of the second person that are responsive to the prompts; generate, by applying the trained modeling function to the recorded responses of the second person, a reviewing sequence by which to view the recorded responses of the second person. The reviewing sequence orders the recorded responses from a most predictive prompt to a least predictive prompt to reduce a time required to efficiently determine an evaluation result. The system further transmits data that causes display of a list of the recorded responses of the second person in the reviewing sequence.

  • Patent number: 11144931
    Abstract: In one example, a data package created by a particular wireless mobile device, and comprising metrics collected by the wireless mobile device, is retrieved. The metrics concern performance of the wireless mobile device in a wireless communication network, and are transformed into measures that enable derivation of a key performance indicator concerning the performance of the wireless mobile device. An enriched measure is generated by processing the measures based on correlations of wireless mobile device events in a time sequence, and the enriched measure is transformed into a KPI that is specific to the performance of the wireless mobile device. The KPI of the wireless mobile device is compared to a KPI of the population of wireless mobile devices, and results of the comparison of KPIs serve as a basis to resolve a problem regarding operation of the wireless mobile device.
