  • Patent number: 11803928
    Abstract: A system and a method for promoting a tutor on a platform. The system receives a tutor profile from the tutor. The tutor profile comprises a set of information about the tutor and a first cohort of students assigned to the tutor. The system randomly assigns a question received from a student belonging to a second cohort of students to the tutor in real time. The system further receives an answer to the question from the tutor. Further, the system analyses the answer based on a machine learning model. Subsequently, the system requests feedback about the tutor from the student of the second cohort of students. The system evaluates the tutor based on the plurality of parameters and the feedback receiving using deep learning algorithms. Finally, the system promotes the tutor for a group coaching of the students on the platform.

  • Patent number: 11620616
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for administering and/or managing an employer sponsored retirement plan such as a 401(k) plan can include a host system that supports a graphical user interface (GUI) that is displayable to a user communicating with the host system via a user computer device. The use can manipulate one or more input devices connected to the user's computer device for facilitating the communication of data to the host system and updating of displays of the GUI. The GUI can be configured to permit employee participants to enroll and manage their retirement accounts. The GUI can also be configured for employers that sponsor a retirement plan to communicate with the host system to manage their retirement plan and oversee administration of the plan. Displays of the GUI can be generated and updated by a user computer device display based on communications with the host system.

  • Patent number: 11601509
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for predicting whether an entity associated with a profile in one network is the same entity that is associated with a profile in a second network, which networks may represent networks from different network services or may represent networks from the same network service. In embodiments, network graph features, including nodes and connections, may be used to predict a probability that the profiles in the two networks should be matched. In embodiments, additional or different factors may be included in the predicted probability, such as homophily, match probabilities of seed nodes, match probabilities of attribute-matched nodes, attribute-attribute co-occurrence probabilities, and the like.

  • Patent number: 11321786
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for fan identification on a communication device for a performer during a performance. A service provider may determine attendees to a performance given by a performer. The service provider may also determine fan information for each of the attendees, for example, using media related to the performer on a communication device of the attendees, biometrics of the attendees during the performance, and/or social networking interactions. Based on the fan information for one or more attendees, the service provider may choose to recognize certain attendees during the performance, such as with a message from the performer or an upgrade. The service provider may notify the performer on a wearable or prompter device during the performance. The service provider may further track the attendees' interest during the performance and provide feedback to the performer.

  • Patent number: 11182442
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that improves usage of an application. During operation, the system identifies, in a set of social media posts, a question related to use of the application. Next, the system responds to the set of social media posts with a set of answers to the question on one or more social media platforms and tracks social media responses to the set of answers. The system then calculates a set of relevance scores for the answers based on the tracked social media responses, wherein each relevance score represents a relevance of one of the answers to the question. Upon identifying the question in a subsequent social media post, the system selects an answer from the set of answers based on a relevance score of the answer and posts the answer in response to the subsequent social media post.
