Patent number: 11977903Abstract: A method includes receiving a first set of identifiers selected based on commonality among descriptive data corresponding to the identifiers of the first set. Each identifier corresponds to a user who has been supplied a physical object. The method includes identifying event data for the first set within a specified epoch. The method includes training a machine learning model for the first set using the identified event data. The machine learning model is trained using parallel processing of records from a storage structure storing the event data. The parallel processing includes assigning analysis of the event data of each of a subset of the first set to respective processor threads for parallel execution on processing hardware. The trained machine learning model is configured to receive a selected identifier and generate an output representing an amount of resources expected to be used by the selected identifier for a subsequent epoch.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Express Scripts Strategic Development, Inc.Inventors: Christopher R.

Patent number: 11301630Abstract: A method includes maintaining a question repository in which each question corresponds to a set of decision trees. A distance matrix encodes a distance between each pair of questions. In response to a request for a new question, the method converts the new question into a set of tokens. For each question of the existing questions, the method determines a minimum distance between each token of the new question and the tokens of the question and sums the minimum distances to calculate a distance between the question and the new question. The method includes performing cluster analysis on the distance matrix. Performing cluster analysis includes normalizing the distance matrix and applying a hierarchical clustering process to the normalized distance matrix. Based on the cluster analysis, the method transmits an alternative question proposal or adds the new question to the question repository.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Express Scripts Strategic Development, Inc.Inventors: Christopher R.
