  • Patent number: 11961050
    Abstract: The present application includes a method and system for real-time predictive scheduling. The system receives information from at least one workload input and at least one personnel input, calculating an initial schedule based on the information and on analytics rules in a scheduling analytics engine. The system then allocates incoming workloads to customer service representatives according to the initial schedule, while monitoring adherence to the initial schedule by calculating deviation from schedule adherence. If the deviation from schedule adherence exceeds an acceptable deviation from schedule adherence within the analytics rules, the system calculates an updated schedule.

  • Patent number: 11954746
    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, an automated system assesses risks associated with real estate entities. The system may include computing systems and devices for extracting data attributes for real estate entities from received source data, and the extracted data attributes may each be associated with a particular data level for a real estate entity. The system can link data attributes in adjacent data levels with unique linkage information and compute metrics for each of the real estate entities from the data attributes where each computed metric may be associated with one of the data levels. The system can assess an amount of risk associated with each of the real estate entities based on the computed metrics and present the assessed amount of risk for one or more real estate entities to a remote computing device of a user responsive to receiving a risk assessment request.

  • Patent number: 11907882
    Abstract: The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of validating models guided by machine learning algorithms. The innovation can begin by receiving a risk model for validation having multiple sets of data. A first data set is selected from as an input. Outputs are generated for validation. One output can be generating a second set of analysis results using a comparable algorithm to the risk model. Another output can be generating a second set of variables and transformations using a machine learning algorithm and an untransformed set of the selected variables to assess the set of selected transformations. Another output can be generating a third set of variables using one or more machine learning algorithms and an extended feature set of variables to assess the selected variables. The outputs are compared to the analysis results, coefficients, selected variables, and selected transformations. A report of the comparison is generated.

  • Patent number: 11847682
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for recommending a service provider. An embodiment operates by receiving a search request specifying a service request by a user and location for the requested service, retrieving prior financial transactions of the user to purchase the service from a database, and determining a preference of the user based on the retrieved prior financial transactions. The embodiment further operates by applying the preference to a model trained to output a recommended service provider and selecting the recommended service provider for display on a user's device. The model more likely recommends service providers in the location having a higher ratio of tip-to-price relative to other providers for the service in the location based on a history of prior financial transactions of a plurality of users.

  • Patent number: 11663538
    Abstract: The present application includes a method and system for real-time scheduling reallocation. The system receives a schedule which allocates customer service representatives (CSRs) to channels and queues based on analytics rules as well as the forecast work patterns and information on CSR skills and shift patterns. The system then monitors adherence to the schedule by comparing the difference between forecast and current volume and type of work to a reallocation threshold at predetermined intervals. If the difference extends beyond the reallocation threshold, the system reallocates CSRs to update the schedule.

  • Patent number: 11538051
    Abstract: Techniques are described for machine learning-based generation of target segments is leveraged in a digital medium environment. A segment targeting system generates training data to train a machine learning model to predict strength of correlation between a set of users and a defined demographic. Further, a machine learning model is trained with visit statistics for the users to predict the likelihood that the users will visit a particular digital content platform. Those users with the highest predicted correlation with the defined demographic and the highest likelihood to visit the digital content platform can be selected and placed within a target segment, and digital content targeted to the defined demographic can be delivered to users in the target segment.

  • Patent number: 11514378
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present application is a system and method for work allocation optimization. In the present disclosure, analytics are applied to work items while the work items are waiting in a work queue in order to optimize the routing and allocation of work items to agents in the most efficient manner possible, while optimizing the utilization of agents. By performing a look ahead at more than the initial work item, the system assesses the agent skills required by imminent work items in the work queue. This is then compared to a skillset of each available and/or soon to be available agent in order to achieve the optimal allocation of the work items to maximize utilization of agents. The work items are then routed to the agents accordingly.
