In one example, a system for automatically generating predictive scoring models comprises a trigger component to determine, based on a threshold or trigger, such as a detection of new significant relationships, whether a predictive scoring model is ready for a refresh or regeneration. An automated modeling sufficiency checker receives and transforms user-selectable system input data. The user-selectable system input data may comprise at least one of email, display or social media traffic. An adaptive modeling engine operably connected to the trigger component and modeling sufficiency checker is configured to monitor and identify a change in the input data and, based on an identified change in the input data, automatically refresh or regenerate the scoring model for calculating new lead scores.

  • Patent number: 11947883
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a process may divide elements of a mesh into sub-elements utilizing field nodes. The process may determine if each field node is inside or outside a material point cloud. The process may calculate a distance from each outside field node to a surface of the material point cloud based on a surface vector in a normal direction and a deformed volume of a material point. The process may calculate a distance from each inside field node to the surface of the material point cloud based on a surface vector, in a normal direction and associated with an outside field node closest to the inside field node, that takes into account a deformed volume of a material point. The process may utilize the distances to generate a signed distance field that may be used to perform calculations to simulate a behavior of a physical material/object that exhibit deformations.

In one or more embodiments, a trained neural network model or network models receive as input a wiring diagram and analyzes it. In one or more embodiments, the trained model may generate a real-valued score that represents the quality of the design. In one or more embodiments, the trained neural network may classify a particular issue or issues of the network fabric design.

  • Patent number: 11933168
    Abstract: A geomechanically integrated model of stimulated rock volume (SRV) of subsurface formations in an area of interest for hydrocarbon production is formed. The methodology for forming the model takes into account geomechanical effects of interest and potential significance which occur over different dimensional scales. The methodology incorporates into the model fault perturbations which are present at a regional or seismic scale of from hundreds to thousands of meters, as well as layer stress occurring at a much smaller hydraulic fracture simulation scale of fractions of meters or meters. The methodology accommodates the differing representations of the subsurface grids used in previous models to represent these different geomechanical effects. Complex grid meshing and computer processing are avoided, improving computer operation and saving computer processing time.
