  • Publication number: 20230306545
    Abstract: Technical methods, devices, and systems disclosed herein provide a predictive case-solvability score service. The predictive case-solvability score service generates case solvability scores for cases, detects events that signal those scores should be updated, updates a machine-learning model over time to ensure current trends in recent data are reflected, and identifies specific actions to recommend for increasing those scores. Furthermore, the predictive case-solvability score service provides an interface that allows users to perceive trends in case-solvability scores over time and to execute some of the specific recommended actions.

  • Patent number: 11521285
    Abstract: A computer apparatus, such as a validator node, for validating incident-related data records in a distributed electronic ledger is configured to receive a request from an agent to add a proposed incident-related data record associated with an incident to the distributed electronic ledger. In response to the proposed incident-related data record, the computer apparatus determines, from the distributed electronic ledger, one or more attributes of the agent or incident. The computer apparatus determines whether the proposed incident-related data record satisfies validation criteria based at least partially on the one or more attributes of the agent or incident. Once validated, the computer apparatus may then append the proposed incident-related data record to the distributed electronic ledger. Alternatively, the proposed incident-related data record may be appended regardless of validity, but an indication of validity may be appended if the proposed incident-related data record is validated.

  • Publication number: 20220335154
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for a predictive response-generation service to facilitate timely compliance with information-disclosure laws. When an event associated with an electronic data collection is detected, a set of features is extracted for the electronic data collection. The features are input into a machine-learning model to generate a request-prediction score. If the probability of receiving a request for data in the electronic data collection meets a threshold, a redaction operation specified by a redaction policy is executed on the electronic data collection to generate a modified electronic data collection. The modified electronic data collection, which is a redacted version of the electronic data collection, is transmitted to a digital response repository.

  • Patent number: 11304034
    Abstract: A communication system and method are provided for prioritizing the collection of evidence leads. Geographic mass messaging notifications are sent out alerting to an incident in conjunction with a request for incident information. Responding devices are prioritized based on device parameter information. The prioritization enables transient devices to be provided with a higher priority than non-transient devices. The assigned priority facilitates investigative follow-up of a plurality of evidence leads prior to the review of actual data content of each lead.
