Abstract: A computer method for identifying product in a distributor's inventory system that fulfills a product request made via a natural language query. the natural language query is received as a product request including multiple words in sequential order. The words are vectorized into word-vectors that are concatenated and used to generate a query embedding. The query embedding is processed utilizing a trained product category classifier that predicts which product category the requested product belongs. Forward and backward sequence vectors are generated from the sequentially ordered words of the query that are concatenated and processed using a trained model specific to the predicted product category. The sequence vectors represent positional relationships between the words of the natural language query. Thereafter, the system identifies product attribute(s) embodied in the natural language query that each correspond to a predetermined key-characteristic of the category.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for efficient resource utilization. A workflow of manufacturing a product using various machines at each plant of an organization is created, where the workflow illustrates which machines are utilized to produce the product using one or more raw materials. A production rate for the product at each plant manufacturing the product is predicted based on the workflow. An amount of a raw material required by a first plant to produce the product is determined based on the predicted production rate for the product at the first plant. An amount of the raw material is then routed to the first plant from one or more other plants based on minimizing the system inventory carrying cost and minimizing the system transportation cost if the first plant needs an additional amount of the raw material to realize the predicted production rate for the product.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing transfer-learning for structured data with regard to journeys defined by sets of actions. A first deep neural network (DNN) for a first journey is trained using structured data. Weights of nodes in the first DNN are transferred to nodes in a second DNN for a second journey using transfer-learning. An embedding layer replaces a final layer of the first DNN in the second DNN to provide an output with a same number of nodes as a pre-final layer of the first DNN. Weights of the nodes in the embedding layer are initialized based at least on a probability that a new feature of the second journey co-occurs with each feature in the structured data. A softmax function is applied on a final layer of the second DNN to indicate possible next actions of the second journey.
