  • Patent number: 11869021
    Abstract: Segment valuation techniques usable in a digital medium environment are described. To do so, a segment valuation system first identifies the attributes that are significant in achievement of a desired metric (e.g., conversion) and then values segments based on those significant attributes. Attributes are selected from the trained model based on significance of those attributes towards achieving the desired metric. A valuation of a segment may then be calculated based on the valuations of these attributes. For example, inclusion of the selected attributes within a segment, and the valuations of those selected attributes, is then used by the segment valuation system to generate data describing a value of the segment towards achieving the metric.

  • Patent number: 11816612
    Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed for predicting true demand of network services that impose usage constraints. A computing environment may be configured to provide a network service for a user account, where a usage constraint for the network service is imposed on the user account. A truncated usage distribution of the network service may be generated based on usage history data. A demand curve of the network service may be generated for the user account, where the demand curve comprises at least a portion of the truncated usage distribution and a predicted usage of the at least one network service beyond the usage constraint. One or more actions may be performed based on the demand curve, such as increasing the usage constraint.

  • Patent number: 11714404
    Abstract: A board production management device configured to manage a board production line including an initial notification section configured to issue notification information including at least one of a contents of an error cause or a contents of countermeasures when the error cause that requires countermeasures occurs at the board production line; and an escalation notification section configured to issue the notification information after escalating in a case in which the error cause is not resolved after a specified time has elapsed since the error cause occurred. Accordingly, because when the specified time has elapsed, a notification is issued as escalating the notifyee or escalating the contents of countermeasures to resolve error causes more effectively, and compared to conventional technology in which only re-notification of the occurrence of the error cause is performed, notification is performed more efficiently, enabling an error cause that requires countermeasures to be resolved more quickly.
