  • Patent number: 11995727
    Abstract: A claim adjudication system including an automatic adjudication pipeline that uses pipeline rules to automatically adjudicate a claim associated with a benefit plan at one or more stages. The automatic adjudication pipeline can redirect the claim to a user interface for manual review when a pipeline rule associated with a manual review condition is triggered. The user interface can present information about the claim relevant to the manual review condition in an integrated format, including highlighting the reasons for the manual review. A user can evaluate the claim in the user interface and provide user input that addresses the manual review condition, and the claim can be routed back to the automatic adjudication pipeline. The user input can also be used as training data for machine learning to adjust pipeline rules that are used to automatically process claims and to redirect future claims for manual review.

  • Publication number: 20240135423
    Abstract: An online concierge system generates an aggregated lift score for a test feature for the online concierge system. The online concierge presents prioritized items from a set of item groups to two sets of users: a test set and a control set. The online concierge system uses the test feature to present prioritized items to users in the test set, and the online concierge system uses existing functionality to present prioritized items to users in the control set. For each test group, the online concierge system creates holdout subsets out of the test set and the control set. The online concierge system tracks user interactions with items in an item group and computes a group lift score for the item group. The online concierge system generates an aggregated lift score for the test feature based on the group lift scores and presents items to users based on the aggregated lift score.

  • Publication number: 20240111585
    Abstract: Provided are a resource management system and method, which can be implemented in the context of autonomously navigating vehicles, such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). A route and a graph network are provided, wherein the graph network comprises interconnected nodes representing resources in an environment. The resources include shared spaces and non-shared spaces accessible by the vehicle navigating the route. A resource manager module analyzes the route based on the graph network to determine one or more sets of related shared spaces on the route; applies an ordering algorithm to generate a hierarchy associated with each set of related shared spaces; and, for each set of related shared spaces, generates a set of behaviors to be executed by the vehicle to request access to the set of related shared spaces based on the associated hierarchy.

  • Publication number: 20240068558
    Abstract: Magnetically-assisted mechanical gear systems and other power transmission systems, and related methods of operation and assembly, are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, such a system includes a driving gear, a driven gear, and a first magnetomotive force (MMF) source that generates a magnetic flux. A first portion of the flux is communicated between at least one driving gear teeth and at least one driven gear teeth so that one or more magnetic forces are exerted between the gears. When the first rotational movement of the driving gear alternates from being in the first rotational direction to being in a third rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, then the driven gear is driven by the one or more magnetic forces so that the second rotational movement also alternates, and a first amount of backlash movement between the driving and driven gears is avoided or reduced.

  • Patent number: 11859994
    Abstract: Systems and methods for landmark-based localization of an autonomous vehicle (“AV”) are described herein. Implementations can generate a first predicted location of a landmark based on a pose instance of a pose of the AV and a stored location of the landmark, generate a second predicted location of the landmark relative to the AV based on an instance of LIDAR data, generate a correction instance based on the comparing, and use the correction instance in generating additional pose instance(s). Systems and methods for validating localization of a vehicle are also described herein. Implementations can obtain driving data from a past episode of locomotion of the vehicle, generate a pose-based predicted location of a landmark in an environment of the vehicle, and compare the pose-based predicted location to a stored location of the landmark in the environment of the vehicle to validate a pose instance of a pose of the vehicle.
