  • Patent number: 11829961
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a communications interface configured to communicate over one or more networks, at least one processor and at least one memory including program code is provided. The at least one memory and the program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least receive, via the communications interface, an interparty transaction request. The interparty transaction request corresponds to an interparty transaction and identifying a first party and a second party. The apparatus generates a smart contract based on the interparty transaction request; stores a data entry indicating the generation of the smart contract to a distributed ledger; executes the smart contract to cause settlement of the interparty transaction between the first party and the second party; and stores a data entry indicating the settlement of the interparty transaction to the distributed ledger.

  • Patent number: 11803815
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes an apparatus with a processor and a memory storing code which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive a data profile associated with a candidate resource, the data profile includes a set of attributes of the candidate resource which are relevant for assessing the candidate resource's suitability to satisfy a particular resource demand. The apparatus extracts an n-dimensional feature vector from the received data profile, the n-dimensional feature vector capturing aspects of the candidate resource's attributes and process said n-dimensional feature vector with a first ensemble machine learning model to generate a first suitability factor. Likewise, the apparatus process said n-dimensional feature vector with a second ensemble machine learning model to generate a second suitability factor. The apparatus determines whether to allocate the candidate resource to the particular resource demand using said first and second suitability factors.

  • Patent number: 11790375
    Abstract: Machine learning-based approaches are used to automatically establish customer support sessions and/or assign customer support requests to customer support agents or other appropriate resources. For example, during a customer support session between a customer and a customer support agent, a trained model can process session data obtained during the session to determine prediction information (e.g., a next message prediction score, a predicted time for receiving a next message, a capacity score, etc.) The prediction information can be compared to an appropriate threshold to determine whether to establish a customer support session and/or assign a customer support request to the agent, even though the agent may otherwise be considered at capacity. In the situation it is determined to establish a session and/or assign a request to the agent, a session can be established and/or a request can be assigned to the agent based on scheduling or other information.

  • Patent number: 11651461
    Abstract: A computing system accesses crime incident data from two or more organization systems. The crime incident data includes a first set of inputs associated with a plurality of crime incident groupings and a second set of inputs associated with incident data for incidents associated with each of the two or more organization systems. The computing system preprocesses the crime incident data to remove incidents that include suspect identifiers not present in at least two or more organization system. The computing system analyzes the preprocessed crime incident data to identify links between incidents across two or more organization systems using a trained crime linking model. The computing system generates a link between a first incident at a first organization system of the two or more organization systems and a second incident at a second organization system based on the analyzing.

  • Patent number: 11587098
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments can be used to automate the acquisition and management of user consents for one or more campaigns, thus reducing the possibility of unintended violations of consent requirements as compared with existing systems. In accordance with the disclosed embodiments, each user consent may be associated with at least three different values. The consent management system may be configured to filter consent values for various users and send user-consent requests to certain users based on their filtered user-consent values. In some disclosed embodiments, a user may provide consent to allow communications of the user's information to certain “connected parties.” The connected parties, moreover, may need to separately provide user consent(s) as necessary to effectuate communications for a campaign in compliance with one or more laws, rules, or regulations.

  • Patent number: 11568507
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing protection from economic exploitation. The apparatus and methods may include a platform for tagging a social security number and/or other suitable identification number. The system may allow a person associated with a social security number to automatically flag and deny any product or service request associated with the social security number. The alarms are “silent,” because the alarm may initiate an institution internal process in which the customer interaction with the institution follows a normal diligence process until an intervention can be effectively executed on behalf of the customer. This reduces the likelihood of a reaction from the customer's associate prior to completing the diligence process. A system may provide the customer with an opportunity to electronically activate an alarm by typing keystrokes on a card reader keypad or interacting with a physical sensor on the reader, on the card, or the like.

  • Patent number: 11461790
    Abstract: Technologies for automatically validating marketing asset compliance include a marketing compliance server configured to receive a marketing asset file. The marketing asset file includes a data interchange document containing multiple objects and multiple key/value pairs. Each object is associated with a different group of the key/value pairs. The server extracts the data interchange document from the marketing asset file, parses the document to identify the different key/value pair groups, and identifies the objects of the document based on the identification of the different key/value pair groups. The identified objects are analyzed as a function of a brand rule configuration file that includes brand rules corresponding to brand marketing guidelines. Based on the analysis, the server determines whether the objects are in compliance with the marketing guidelines. The server generates an interactive compliance report and non-compliant objects can be corrected. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11301945
    Abstract: Operations include aggregating, analyzing, and displaying information about prospects for an educational institution. The system may aggregate prospect information by traversing, for example, lower education databases, social networking websites, or testing organization databases. The system may evaluate prospects which are potential applicants to generate recommendations for contact by a recruiter. Alternatively, or additionally, the system may evaluate prospects which have applied for admission to the institution to generate recommendations for acceptance by an admission officer. The system may recommend a prospect based on the prospect's potential for success in the institution. Success may correspond to metrics such as a likelihood of graduating from the educational institution or a likelihood of obtaining employment subsequent to graduating from the institution. Prospects sharing attributes with previously successful students may be selected for recommendation.
