  • Patent number: 11475464
    Abstract: Ownership of physical article are electronically registered in a database upon purchase of the physical articles from merchants. A merchant gives a uniquely numbered card to a customer with each purchased physical article. The numbered cards are not initially associated with a particular physical article. Each physical article has a label with a unique identifier code attached to the article or to the packaging of the article. The registration process involves associating the numbered card with the article's label. Registration is only permitted if the numbered card and the label's identifier code are not associated with a previously sold article. This process thwarts the potential sale of counterfeit articles to purchasers.

  • Patent number: 11403597
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a first embedding generated by a topic model from parameters of searches by a first recruiting entity and obtains a set of additional embeddings generated by the topic model from attributes of a set of candidates. Next, the system determines match features that include measures of similarity between the first embedding and each embedding in the set of additional embeddings. The system then applies a machine learning model to the match features and additional features for the candidates to produce a set of scores for the candidates. Finally, the system generates a ranking of the candidates according to the scores and outputs at least a portion of the ranking as search results of a current search by the first recruiting entity.

  • Patent number: 11372900
    Abstract: A data linking system is described herein that links data records corresponding to a particular real estate property even if there are inconsistencies in the data records, the physical presence of the real estate property has changed over time, and/or the data records use different terminology. In some cases the data records are matched using a trained machine learning model. The data linking system can optionally generate a visualization of the data record linkage via interactive user interfaces. By linking data records despite the issues described above, the data linking system reduces the number of navigational steps a user performs to obtain data associated with a property and/or reduces data processing times. The disclosed system may be used to generate and maintain a comprehensive database of substantially all properties within a jurisdiction, in which a unique identifier is assigned to each property.

  • Patent number: 11373146
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically generating job descriptions. Job categories are identified for the documents in the job description dataset based on clustering the documents. Sections within each document in the job description dataset are automatically identified, and each identified section is automatically classified. Each type of section is analyzed independently of the other section types using natural language processing, which allows automatic generation of each section of a new job description based on the section-specific data derived from the dataset. Section- and category-specific selective phrases are identified within the job description dataset, and embeddings are generated for the identified selective phrases. A request to generate a new job description for a particular category is received.
