  • Patent number: 11354504
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to identify and process communications across multiple languages. An originating communication is identified, including identification of language, action tokens, and linguistic features. A first map of the identified action tokens and linguistic features from the originating language to a second format is created and populated into identifying machine learning model (MLM). A second communication is identified, including the originating language, action tokens, and linguistic features, and a second map is created of the identified action tokens and linguistic features of the second communication. The second map and the MLM are leveraged to identify and return a predicted action token class of the identified action tokens in the second communication.

  • Publication number: 20210166074
    Abstract: An object-extraction method includes generating multiple partition objects based on an electronic document, and receiving a first user selection of a data element via a user interface of a compute device. In response to the first user selection, and using a machine learning model, a first subset of partition objects from the multiple partition objects is detected and displayed via the user interface. A user interaction, via the user interface, with one of the partition objects is detected, and in response, a weight of the machine learning model is modified, to produce a modified machine learning model. A second user selection of the data element is received via the user interface, and in response and using the modified machine learning model, a second subset of partition objects from the multiple partition objects is detected and displayed via the user interface, the second subset different from the first subset.

  • Patent number: 10990995
    Abstract: A system for cognitive assessment of the competitiveness of deals may include a memory having stored thereon historical deal information for historical deals with each historical deal including a historical deal component. A historical deal component may include a historical work scope and associated historical work pricing. The system may also include a processor cooperating with the memory and configured to compare current deal information with the historical deal information. The current deal information may include a current deal component that may include a current work scope and associated current work pricing. The processor may use machine learning to determine whether the current deal component is non-competitive based upon the historical deal information, and for each non-competitive current deal component generate an alternative current deal component. The alternative current deal component may have at least one of a different current work scope and different associated current work pricing.

  • Publication number: 20190303878
    Abstract: A meeting scheduling system may include a processor and a memory cooperating therewith. The processor may be configured to obtain meeting attributes for a meeting to be scheduled including attributes of desired meeting participants, attributes about meetings already scheduled for the desired meeting participants, attributes of meetings already conducted, and attributes of communications by the desired meeting participants. The processor may also be configured to classify the meeting to be scheduled by determining respective probabilities of whether the meeting will be held, cancelled, or rescheduled based upon the meeting attributes and present, to a meeting scheduler, potential time slots for the meeting to be scheduled based upon the classifying. The processor may also determine, based upon selection by the meeting scheduler, a selected time slot from among the potential time slots and present, to each desired meeting participant, the selected time slot.

  • Publication number: 20170300964
    Abstract: In one general embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes, for each time period of two or more time periods, calculating a variance of a metric based on one or more values of the metric for the time period. For each time period of the two or more time periods the following are calculated: a lower bound of a historical value and an upper bound of the historical value. A first curve is fit to the two or more lower bounds of historical values. A second curve is fit to the two or more upper bounds of historical values. For each of one or more future points in time, a future lower bound and a future upper bound for the future value of the metric at the future point in time are predicted utilizing the first curve and the second curve.
