  • Patent number: 11663544
    Abstract: A method of early warning and risk assessment of incidents in a multi-tenant cloud environment is provided. The method includes: capturing a plurality of data metrics; automatically generating derived features from the plurality of captured data metrics; automatically selecting risk assessment features from the derived features and the captured data metrics; and predicting the risk of an incident in the multi-tenant cloud environment within a specified time window in the future and one or more possible root causes of the incident by applying the newly selected risk assessment features to a trained risk assessment model. The trained risk assessment model has been trained using machine learning techniques to predict the risk of an incident in the multi-tenant cloud environment within a specified time window in the future, provide an explanation of possible root causes of the incident, and assign a strength level to each possible root cause.

  • Patent number: 11651382
    Abstract: User data overlap determination in a digital medium environment is described. Initially, a user selects segments of user data for which a determination of overlap is to be made. For example, the user selects a segment representing users that are working professionals and a segment representing users that are mothers, such that working-mother users may correspond to the overlap. Regardless of the particular segments selected, an indication of those segments is received. One of multiple different overlap determining techniques—which can include a combined MinHash and HyperLogLog (HLL) technique and an Inclusion-Exclusion technique—may be selected for computing the overlap based on a number of segments indicated and numbers of users represented by the segments. The selected overlap determining technique is then used to compute the user data overlap between the indicated segments. Digital content including values indicative of the determined overlap is generated for presentation to a user.

  • Patent number: 11429988
    Abstract: Reduction in latency between question submissions and response submissions in a question and answer based customer support system is reduced by facilitating the use of mobile devices by customer support personnel to submit question responses. The answerability of a question from a mobile device is predicted by analyzing the attributes of the question itself before the answer is generated. Questions being entered into the question and answer based customer support system that are conveniently answerable from a mobile device are routed to a mobile question and answer queue that enables mobile device users to review and respond to the mobile device answerable questions. A question is determined to be answerable from a mobile device if a predicted answer to the question has a length that is within a predetermined threshold, so that customer support personnel are not burdened with generating long responses from mobile devices.

  • Patent number: 11348045
    Abstract: A personal communication system generates a request for initial schedule information corresponding to an initial workforce schedule generated by an enterprise analysis system. The personal communication system transmits the request for initial schedule information to the enterprise analysis system and receives a response including the initial schedule information. The personal communication system then generates a view of the initial workforce schedule based on the initial schedule information and displays the view of the initial workforce schedule in a primary application running on the personal communication system. The personal communication system then monitors for schedule factors relevant to the initial workforce schedule and transmits the schedule factors for use by the enterprise analysis system in generating an updated workforce schedule.
