Patent number: 11188876Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to real-time matching. As changes in data occur in a system, these changes are immediately used by running models implemented in the system to provide users with real-time personalized results. Concurrently, the system is continuously learning from these same changes to build test models, which are built upon the running models (which reflect past knowledge) using the current knowledge. The running models are continuously evolving as they are updated with the test models. A model implemented by the system is a match model, which is configured to intelligently determine which members are available for a new job and to provide a user with at least one member from that pool of available members who satisfies a search criteria specified by the user. The user's actions and the available member's actions are both immediately captured, analyzed and reflected in the system.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: UPWORK INC.Inventors: Vivek Gupta, Venkata Sunil K.
