  • Patent number: 11915167
    Abstract: Candidate function data can include data for multiple candidate functions that may indicate whether insurance claims are likely to involve certain issues, such as comparative negligence issues. A real-time claim identifier can use the candidate function data to determine, in near real-time, if claim data for a new insurance claim submitted to an insurance company satisfies at least one of the candidate functions. If the claim data satisfies at least one of the candidate functions, the insurance claim can be assigned to a corresponding destination in the insurance company, such as a department that processes comparative negligence claims, for further processing.

  • Patent number: 11875368
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for proactively predicting demand based on sparse transaction data. One example method includes receiving a request to predict transaction quantities for a plurality of transaction entities for a future time period. Historical transaction data for the transaction entities is identified for a plurality of categories of transacted items. The plurality of categories are organized using a hierarchy of levels. Multiple levels of the hierarchy are iterated over starting at a lowest level. For each current level in the iteration, features to include in a quantity forecasting model for the current level are identified. The quantity forecasting model is trained using the identified features. Predicted transaction dates are predicted for the current level by a transaction date prediction model. The quantity forecasting model is used to generate predicted quantity information for the current level for the predicted transaction dates.

  • Patent number: 11868121
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programming products for self-learning order dressing rules applied to manufacturing products in accordance with received product specifications. The translation from commercial characteristics to manufacturing characteristics of the product being manufactured are learned and adjusted to meet the specifications for quality required by the provided commercial characteristics. Reinforcement learning models learn from the quality characteristics of produced products by applying positive scores when the commercial to manufacturing characteristic translation is on-specification, otherwise a penalty is applied when an off-spec product is produced. Digital twins of manufacturing equipment, simulated in real time, provide insight and recommendations for achieving correct quality characteristics. Sensors in each device or within the surrounding environment help digital twins to measure operational performance and lifecycle of the manufacturing equipment against historical baselines.
