  • Patent number: 11966927
    Abstract: A method for predicting changes in customer demand is provided. The method comprises collecting subscription data for a number of customers at specified time intervals, wherein each customer is subscribed to one of a number of defined bundles of services. Any changes in customer bundle subscriptions during a given time interval are determined along with metrics for defined customer tasks for subscribed services during the given time interval. Multimodal multi-task learning is used to simultaneously model both bundle subscription change events and time-to-event for each bundle subscription change. Using the modeling, types and timing of changes in customer bundle subscriptions are predicted based on customer service activities.

  • Patent number: 11929488
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrogen storage alloy, an electrode for a Ni-MH battery, a secondary battery, and a method for preparing the hydrogen storage alloy. The chemical composition of the hydrogen storage alloy is expressed by the general formula La(3.0˜3.2)xCexZrySm(1-(4.11˜4.2)x-y)NizCouMnvAlw, where x, y, z, u, v, w are molar ratios, and 0.14?x?0.17, 0.02?y?0.03, 4.60?z+u+v+w?5.33, 0.10?u?0.20, 0.25?v?0.30, and 0.30?w?0.40. The atomic ratio of the metal lanthanum (La) to the metal cerium (Ce) is fixed at 3.0 to 3.2, which satisfies the requirements of the overcharge performance of the electrode material. A side elements are largely substituted by samarium (Sm) element, that is, the atomic ratio of Sm on the A side is 25.6% to 42%, so as to solve the problem of shortened cycle life caused by the small amount of cobalt (Co) atoms.

  • Publication number: 20240029727
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for dynamic conversation alerts within a communication session. In one embodiment, the system presents, to a client device associated with a user of a communication platform, a user interface (“UP”) including a prompt for the user to submit one or more alert phrases, each alert phrase being associated with a category; receives, from the client device, a list of submitted alert phrases; and receives a transcript of a communication session between participants. For each utterance in the transcript, the system determines whether one or more predictions of relatedness are present between the utterance and one or more alert phrases from the list of submitted alert phrases. The system then transmits, to the client device, a list of related categories, each related category including one or more timestamps of utterances for which a prediction of relatedness is present for an alert phrase associated with that category.

  • Patent number: 11863711
    Abstract: A transcript of a conference is processed to extract a conference summary. The transcript includes strings that are associated with respective timestamps and respective speaker identifiers. Speaker segments—sequences of consecutive strings attributed to the same speaker—are identified in the transcript. A speaker segment is selected based on its duration in time and one or more strings are selected from with the selected speaker segment for inclusion in the conference summary. A short video conference summary or a short audio conference summary is then generated using timestamps from the transcript associated with strings that have been selected for inclusion in the conference summary. The short video or audio summary may be presented to users to enable efficient storage and transmission of information from the conference within a unified communications system.
