  • Patent number: 11875360
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for providing an insights page. When data identifying a party of a call is received, a customer relationship management (CRM) application can be launched at a computing device without any further user input, and records that are potentially relevant to the call and that are to potentially be included as part of an insights page of the CRM application can be automatically determined. Some of the records are automatically determined by analyzing CRM information using artificial intelligence technologies. The records can then be ranked in a priority order according to relevance from most relevant to least relevant. The insights page can then be caused to be displayed at a user interface of the computing device without user input with at least some of the records displayed in the priority order as relevant records.

  • Patent number: 11869071
    Abstract: Disclosed is an example approach in which news alerts are scanned in real-time or near real-time, relevant alerts identified through a topic extraction model, and associated actors identified through an entity extraction model. An entity resolution model may be applied to determine which actors are clients. The topic extraction, entity extraction, and/or entity resolution models may apply, for example, natural language processing models. The alert may be enriched by being packaged with client and transactional data to generate an enriched alert. A predictive model may be applied to the enriched alert to identify events with a high probability of law enforcement referral, and the enriched alert may be automatically transmitted to certain identified devices. The predictive model is trained using a combination of news alerts and data on clients and transactions, yielding enhanced predictions.

  • Patent number: 11861579
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an intelligent inventory system are disclosed. The systems and methods described herein may receive data from a point-of-sale (POS) device of a merchant indicating an item to add to an inventory catalog of the merchant.

  • Patent number: 11861635
    Abstract: A facility for determining a housing index value for a subject geographic region for a subject period in time is described. For each home in a set of homes within the subject geographic region, the facility determines home attribute values; applies a first valuation model and second valuation for the subject geographic region to the home attributes to obtain estimated values of the home at the beginning and end of the subject period, respectively; and determines an appreciation rate for the home on the basis of the estimated values of the home at the beginning and end of the subject period. The facility combines the appreciation rates to obtain an aggregate appreciation rate for the subject period, and combines the aggregate appreciation rate for the period with a housing index value for a prior period to obtain the housing index value for the subject geographic region and subject period.

  • Patent number: 11823214
    Abstract: An online system receives a completed order of items fulfilled by a picker and a transaction log of the completed order from a retailer where the completed order was fulfilled. The online system compares the completed order of items to the transaction log of the completed order to identify one or more unmatched items. The online system generates, at an auditor client device, a user interface that shows the unmatched items and an option to mark each unmatched item as a fraud instance. The online system receives an indication of a fraud instance for one of the unmatched items from an auditor via the user interface. The online system adds a value of the fraud instance to a fraud total of the picker. If the online system determines that the fraud total for the picker exceeds a threshold, the fraud module deactivates the picker's account.
