  • Patent number: 11966927
    Abstract: A method for predicting changes in customer demand is provided. The method comprises collecting subscription data for a number of customers at specified time intervals, wherein each customer is subscribed to one of a number of defined bundles of services. Any changes in customer bundle subscriptions during a given time interval are determined along with metrics for defined customer tasks for subscribed services during the given time interval. Multimodal multi-task learning is used to simultaneously model both bundle subscription change events and time-to-event for each bundle subscription change. Using the modeling, types and timing of changes in customer bundle subscriptions are predicted based on customer service activities.

  • Patent number: 11900282
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for building an ARIMA based Time Series prediction/forecast model for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Performance Management (PM) counters in a telecommunication network. The system receives historical data, for a predefined period, associated with a prediction/forecast model. The system further pre-processes the historical data in order to evaluate statistical characteristics of stationarity of the historical data. Based on the evaluation, the system stationarizes the data first by backfilling anomalies and missing data and then applying techniques associated with differencing, moving averages and auto-correlation. The system further builds the Time Series based prediction/forecast model using the data using ACF and PACF correlation functions.

  • Patent number: 11854023
    Abstract: Most current systems decompose sales volume of a product into base volume and additional volumes associated to each sales driver. Here base volume refers to sales quantity that is derived from non-promoted sales period. It leads base volume of a product with partial price effect. In addition, base volume includes volume contributed by store location, space allocated to product category and assortment etc. In the present disclosure a system and method for sales decomposition is described by computing reference base volume and sales contribution by each sales driver. Here reference base volume is the volume derived by excluding the effect of sales drivers namely, retailer price, competitor price, demographics, weather conditions, space occupied by the category to which the product belongs, number of available substitute products in assortment. Retail strategies are recommended in real time based on sales contribution of the sales driver for the product.

  • Patent number: 11727420
    Abstract: Product demand forecasting accuracy utilizes partitional clustering of time series data with dynamic time warping. The product demand forecasting disclosed herein is particularly suited to forecasting product demand for products with limited sales data. Time-series sales data of a producs (or group of products) with limited sales data (e.g. a sparse or no time series of sales data) are dynamically time warped with sales data of products, or groups of products, having extensive sales data (e.g., an extensive time series of sales data) to determine a clustering model with an optimal number of clusters and a prototype time series for each cluster in the model. The prototype time series for the cluster in which the product (or group of products) with limited sales data lies is utilized as its product demand forecast.
