  • Patent number: 11016730
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product analyses event transactional related data to generate insights and predictions, which are pre-created to efficiently respond to requests for prediction/forecasting information, in order to improve the operation of the prediction-generating computer. One or more processors receive a series of structured data, where each entry (Ei) from the series of structured data has one or more time fields Tk and one or more attributes Aj. In response to determining that the series of structured data is transactional, one or more processors select a time field Tkr that meets an aggregation criterion, and then aggregate the transactional data from the time field Tkr into a time series data format. One or more processors consolidate results from a time series analysis and a regression analysis of the transformed transactional data to create a consolidated result, which is used to respond to a request for prediction/forecasting information.

  • Patent number: 10776569
    Abstract: A data portion of a data set utilized in a computerized visualization is analyzed to identify one or more areas of interest each including data values representing distinguishable features relative to the data set. An explanation for the data values of each of the one or more areas of interest is determined. Each explanation is based on other data portions of the data set contributing to the distinguishable features. At least one display layer including labels describing the one or more areas of interest is generated. The labels include the explanation for each of the one or more areas of interest. The at least one display layer is disposed over the computerized visualization to produce an annotated visualization with the labels positioned proximate the one or more areas of interest.
