  • Patent number: 11941707
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for determining an effect of a message on a personal brand based on future goals. A message is received from an entity for a social media platform. Additional messages related to the message are identified. A reaction sentiment trend is determined for each topic of the additional messages for a period of time. An effect the message has on a personal brand of the entity in future is predicted based on future goals of the entity and based on the reaction sentiment trend for each topic. An indication of whether the message is aligned with the future goals based on the predicted effect is provided. In response to the message being aligned with the future goals, the message is posted to the social media platform.

  • Patent number: 11934967
    Abstract: A management system operates in conjunction with entities to provide component recommendations for objects. The management system trains a machine learning model used to generate the component recommendations. The machine learning model is trained based on historical component entries describing components previously provided and identifiers of the components. The management system generates training data by classifying the historical component entries into predetermined component classifications. After the machine learning model is trained, the management system generates a customized recommendation of components for an object based on likelihoods of selection of the predetermined component classifications.

  • 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: 11775813
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating a recommended target audience based on determining a predicted attendance utilizing a neural network approach. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize an approximate nearest neighbor algorithm to identify individuals that are within a similarity threshold of invitees for an event. In addition, the disclosed systems can implement an attendance prediction model to determine a probability of an invitee attending the event. The disclosed systems can further determine a predicted attendance for an event based on the individual probabilities. Based on identifying the similar individuals to, and the attendance probabilities for, the invitees, the disclosed systems can generate a recommended target audience to satisfy a target attendance for an event based on a predicted attendance for the event.
