  • Publication number: 20230045099
    Abstract: There is a need to accurately and dynamically predicting a probability for an event and a likely cause for the event prior to the event occurring using collected data from disparate data sources. This need can be addressed, for example, by generating an event prediction data object by utilizing an event prediction machine learning model, wherein the event prediction data object describes an event likelihood prediction and in an instance where the event likelihood prediction is an affirmative likelihood prediction, one or more fall cause predictions; and performing one or more prediction-based actions based at least in part on the event likelihood prediction.
