  • Patent number: 12277519
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may provide, as input to a model, input data indicating current value(s) corresponding to key performance indicator(s) (KPI) associated with current calls to a contact center, enterprise event(s), and stability event(s) associated with the contact center. The device may receive, as an output from the machine learning model, predicted value(s) corresponding to the KPI(s). The device may determine predicted rate(s) of change of the KPI(s) based on a comparison of the current and predicted value(s). The device may assign severity level(s) corresponding to the KPI(s) based on the predicted rate(s) of change. The device may determine a service level impact based on the predicted value(s). The device may determine a performance degradation score based on the severity level(s) and the service level impact. The device may determine and automatically apply a strategy based on the performance degradation score.

  • Patent number: 12260422
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for estimating if a user belongs to an audience category. One method includes an operation for accessing events generated at a website. Each event comprises a data structure describing an operation performed by a user, from a group of users, when accessing the website. Further, the method includes an operation for providing event information and information of a first user, for a predefined time window, as input to an audience machine-learning (ML) model. The audience ML model is trained with training data comprising values for features that include event features, user information features, and audience labels. The method further includes operations for generating, by the audience ML model, a score for the first user indicating a probability that the first user belongs to the audience, and for determining if the user belongs to the audience based on the score.

  • Patent number: 12254519
    Abstract: A specialized service engine receives data from an entity located in one domain about transactions performed by the entity with other entities from another domain. The service engine determines if the entity must follow the rules regarding selected resources in the other domain. The service engine then determines which of the rules established by the other domain the entity must follow. The service engine then determines and communicates to another computer of the entity the burden of complying with the rules of the other domain. The service engine then further computes the cost of the burden, and communicates the computed cost to the other computer.

  • Patent number: 12248952
    Abstract: Multidimensional data analysis applications, including OLAP applications, simultaneously aggregate across many sets of dimensions. However, computing multidimensional aggregates is a performance bottleneck for OLAP data analysis applications. In order to improve the speed of interactive analysis, OLAP databases often precompute aggregates at various levels of detail and on various combinations of data attributes. However, the cost and speed of precomputation influences how frequently the aggregates can be brought up-to-date. Systems and methods disclosed herein provide graph based multidimensional analysis processing without pre-aggregating or precomputing the data along dimensional hierarchies, and by providing the results to the end user on-demand. Since preaggregation or precomputation of data along dimensional hierarchies is not necessary, implementations allow the end user to perform data analysis as soon as the data is available.

  • Patent number: 12190274
    Abstract: A system for performing real time data analytics in a supply chain environment. The system receives data file from a user. The system then identifies a plurality of data definitions present in the data file upon analysing the software system installed on the user's machine. Further, the system compares the plurality of data definitions with a master definitions based on the metadata corresponding to the software system and a trained data definition model. Subsequently, the system transforms the plurality of data definitions into the master definitions using a set of data transformation techniques. A transformed data file based on the transformation of the plurality of data definitions is created. Finally, the system links the transformed data file with the master data in real time to remotely access the transformed data file in real time for performing data analytics in a supply chain environment.

  • Patent number: 12147923
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to enabling real-time data processing to analytical applications that use a real-time cache to drive business decisions. An embodiment of the present invention is directed to limiting data transformation (e.g., transforming data only once) and making it available for multiple consumers and stores. For example, an embodiment of the present invention is directed to an elastic extract transform load (ETL) extension to a strategic data transformation pipeline to support uniform content distribution to various stores as well as reactive processing. Data transformations may be treated as ETL, ensuring operational and analytical stores see and act on the same data.

  • Patent number: 12131272
    Abstract: A conversation control system and associated methods adapt or modify currently active or future conversations and/or interactions based on machine-generated models that continuously evaluate client satisfaction over the entirety of the active conversations and/or interactions. The system receives a conversation with utterances by two or more participants, and generates a vector with features comprised of words, word sequences, and category classifications associated with at least one of the utterances. The system provides the features as inputs to a prediction model that assigns weights to a set of features based on a modeling of different impacts that each feature of the set of features has on one or more aspects of customer satisfaction. The system generates predictions for those aspects of customer satisfaction without input from the participants based on the assigned weights, and performs an automated action based on the one or more predictions.

  • Patent number: 12093862
    Abstract: An asset management system is provided and includes a memory and an event analyzer. The memory maintains event data and at least one cost. The event data characterizes events experienced by assets distributed among sites of a fleet. The event data include an asset location within an asset hierarchy of the fleet and event parameters corresponding to the event. Costs can be correlated to respective events. The analyzer generates a GUI displaying a first window hierarchically listing of assets organized by their hierarchical position within the fleet. The analyzer receives, via the GUI, a user selection of a hierarchical level within the hierarchical list, and identifies events associated with the selected hierarchical level. The analyzer updates the GUI to display a second window in response to receipt of the user selection. The second window lists the identified events, with corresponding event data costs.
