  • Patent number: 11972397
    Abstract: An artificial-intelligence-directed social network extender for existing employees and recruiters which increases the pool of available candidates for an employer while also maximizing the effectiveness of candidate selection. In an embodiment, a recruiting manager extends the social networks of employees and recruiters to maximize the available pool of candidates for a given job opening. A first machine learning algorithm provides instructions to a crawler to gather both candidate information from the extended social network, plus corporate structure information from the Internet for privacy and conflict checking purposes. The gathered information is stored in a knowledge graph which is analyzed by a second machine learning algorithm to identify candidates and relationships most likely to produce a good fit for the job opening.

  • Patent number: 11924948
    Abstract: A lighting control system for controlling a cumulative light emitted by a lighting fixture may comprise a light-emitting diode (LED) driver comprising an output for conducting an output current, and a control module electrically coupled to the output of the LED driver for receiving the output current. The LED driver may regulate the magnitude of the output current towards a target current, and may be characterized by a low-end intensity. The control module may be coupled to a first LED light source of the LED light sources. The control module may receive a command including a requested intensity and control the magnitude of a first LED current through the first LED light source. The control module may control the cumulative light output of the lighting fixture below the low-end intensity of the LED driver by diverting a portion of the output current away from the first LED light source.

  • Patent number: 11847616
    Abstract: In an aspect, an apparatus for wage index classification is disclosed. The apparatus may include a processor and a memory. A processor may be configured to receive a wage index from a user. A processor may also extract a candidate datum from a plurality of candidates. Candidate datum is then classified to a wage index classification data. This may be achieved through training a wage index classifier using candidate training data correlating candidate data elements to wage index classification data elements and classifying the candidate data to the wage index classification datum using the wage index classifier. A processor may then generate a wage compatibility score as a function of wage index classification data and a posting datum. Then a processor may be configured to transmit to a display device configured to display a wage compatibility score.

  • Patent number: 11830011
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable dynamically determining a validity of a return. More specifically, a system obtains a return request from a customer, a transaction history of the customer, and a set of return policy rules. A generative adversarial network (GAN) trained to detect non-genuine returns is applied to the return request. The GAN uses, among other this, the transaction history of the customer and the set of return policy rules as parameters of the GAN. Based on an output of the GAN, at least one return processing action is recommended and implemented.
