  • Publication number: 20220108196
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product for event forecasting and information provision are disclosed. For each entity of a group of entities one or more events are obtained, wherein each event is associated with a category of a set of categories. A model category subset of the set of categories, and a target category subset based on the model category subset, are determined. For entities for which for each category of the target category subset an event has been obtained, a sequence of categories of the model category subset is determined, and corresponding probabilities are calculated. For a target entity, a target sequence of categories of the model category subset is determined based on the events obtained for the target entity. A target category is determined based on the target sequence and the calculated probabilities. Information is provided based on the target entity and the determined target category.
