  • Publication number: 20240070616
    Abstract: A method for integrated professional network expansion during employee onboarding is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes executing, via a network, an enterprise application on a first remote computing system operated by an employer associated with an enterprise, as well as causing surfacing of a professional networking UI on a display of the first remote computing system during the execution of the enterprise application. The method also includes receiving, via the professional networking UI surfaced on the display of the first remote computing system, user input including a specification of onboarding parameters for an employee of the enterprise, where the onboarding parameters correspond to one or more professional networking intentions for the employee. The method further includes causing the enterprise application to be executed on a second remote computing system operated by the employee in accordance with the specified onboarding parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240070172
    Abstract: A method for friction reduction during professional network expansion is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes executing, via a network, an enterprise application on a remote computing system operated by a user associated with an enterprise and surfacing a professional networking UI on a display of the remote computing system during execution of the enterprise application. The method includes generating parameters that are representative of a connection between the user and each suggested professional contact based on enterprise-level data corresponding to the user and each suggested professional contact and generating friction-reducing UI elements for each suggested professional contact based on the generated parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240070790
    Abstract: A method for data-driven professional network expansion techniques is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes executing, via a network, an enterprise application on a remote computing system operated by a user associated with an enterprise and surfacing a professional networking UI on a display of the remote computing system during execution of the enterprise application. The method includes accessing enterprise-level data corresponding to the user and the enterprise, extracting parameters associated with the user and the enterprise from the enterprise-level data, and automatically generating, based on the extracted parameters, the user's professional network and a list of suggested professional contacts.

  • Publication number: 20220203755
    Abstract: In various representative aspects, a cleaning system for paint rollers that also recaptures a paint that is removed from the paint roller during cleaning. The system includes a platform that securely attaches to the top rim of an open paint can and provides a base for vertically fixing a standard paint roller on top of the base so that excess paint can be removed from the roller and recaptured back in the well of the paint can. The exemplary embodiments in this invention offers an improvement over existing systems and methods for 1) cleaning paint rollers and recapturing unused paint from the rollers more efficiently than existing products as well as 2) using the same system to rinse any residual paint from the roller so that the roller can be used again.

  • Publication number: 20210182881
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described to automatically identify, measure, and resolve the problem of confounding audiences for predictive modeling exercises involving classification. An example system is described for recursively executing an algorithm that ingests, at minimum, one or more predictors, an outcome variable, a performance improvement threshold at which the system will terminate, and a maximum recursion depth at which the system will terminate if the performance improvement threshold is not met.
