  • Patent number: 12688479
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for identifying and transmitting electronic requests to a suitable service provider. In one method, a server receives, from a computing device, a request to verify data via at least one service provider; executes a first computer model to identify a likelihood of verification success of the data; responsive to the likelihood of verification success satisfying a threshold, executes a second computer model to determine a service provider to transmit the request based on a first attribute associated with the data, a type of verification associated with the request, and a second attribute associated with the set of service providers and an impact value associated with each service provider; and responsive to determining the service provider from the set of service providers, transmitting, by the processor via an application programming interface, the data to the service provider.

  • Patent number: 12586089
    Abstract: A method of processing experience-content data within natural language narratives comprises the steps of: capturing experience-content data from of one or more sources of information, analyzing the captured experience-content data so as to identify narrative structures, and linking each of the identified narrative structures to an actant category among a set of predetermined actant categories constituting an actantial scheme. The capturing step implements a conversational agent that is programmed to capture additional experience-content data, until all actant categories of the actantial scheme are filled with captured experience-content data.

  • Patent number: 12443966
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described. A user journey may be initiated by a user device, and a trace may be generated for the user journey. The trace may include one or more spans that each correspond to at least one service of a set of services that provide functionality to the user journey (e.g., as components of an application). Based on the generated trace including the one or more spans, both diagnostic information and user-specific transaction information may be collected for the user journey. For example, the diagnostic information may include information associated with a service (e.g., how long the service took to complete) and the user-specific transaction information may include information related to the user, such as a location of the user, a type of device used for a transaction, among other examples. The diagnostic information and user-specific transaction information may be stored and processed by a system.

  • Patent number: 12443911
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for generating and implementing a machine learning model in electronic delivery systems to determine delivery routes and times. In some examples, a computing device generates a machine learning model comprising a plurality of indexed binary trees. Each indexed binary tree determines either a first value, or a second value, based on comparing an input to a condition value. The machine learning model can generate prediction values based on the determined values of all indexed binary trees. The machine learning model is trained with historical data. Once trained, the machine learning model's performance is evaluated. Based on the evaluation, the machine learning model may be further refined. Once the machine learning model's performance satisfies requirements, the computing device employs the machine learning model to determine vehicle delivery routes and estimated delivery times.

  • Patent number: 11783436
    Abstract: A dynamic next-stop or next-item recommendation system that is built entirely from raw card transaction data logs. These data logs contain rich transaction data between cardholders and merchants. A query network approach is constructed for geometrical expressivity and automatically learns the inherent class-hierarchy. To ensure scalability and interpretability of the approach, merchants or entities are grouped into interpretable categories and propose a quadtree-based spatial decomposition of the underlying geography. A two-step recommendation process initiates: (1) predict next-merchant quadtree-box and category combination (2) recommend merchants within the predicted combination. This novel neural architecture may handle the hierarchical classification task in the first part of the recommendation system and compare the methods to previous state-of-the-art approaches in related areas.

  • Patent number: 11610273
    Abstract: A cloud-based process stream analysis and grading engine for manufacturing and business applications. As a module contained within a comprehensive manufacturing quality suite, the grading engine functions are divided into two stages. For each unique part/process/feature data stream, Stage one automatically generates and stores a daily statistical summary record. These records are summarized from millions of raw data values fed into the engine across thousands of process streams. Stage two, the grading function, compares a user-specified time bounded analysis of each stream's summary history to the respective engineering specifications, resulting in a concatenated dual character grade—a letter and a number. There are a total of nine possible grade outcomes (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3). The ABC portion of the grade ranks the Yield Potential. The 123 portion ranks the Yield Performance.

  • Patent number: 11587008
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing workflows using block chains. An entire workflow may be stored as a finite state machine on a block chain. Each data block of the block chain may correspond to a state and related operation of a workflow. Each data block of the block chain may be used as an input to a subsequent state of the workflow. Thus, any input may be used to compute the workflow even if the input is not designed to be used by a workflow. Nested block chains, each corresponding to a different workflow or different part of a workflow may be used to increase performance of computing the workflows.

  • Patent number: 11568340
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating target success group of hybrid seeds for target fields include a server receiving agricultural data records that represent crop seed data describing seed and yield properties of hybrid seeds and first field geo-location data for agricultural fields where the hybrid seeds were planted. The server receives second geo-locations data for target fields where hybrid seeds are to be planted. The server generates a dataset of hybrid seed properties that include yield values and environmental classifications for hybrid seeds and then a dataset of success probability scores that describe the probability of a successful yield on the target fields based on the dataset of hybrid seed properties and the second geo-location data. The server generates target success yield group of hybrid seeds and probability of success values based on success probability scores and a yield threshold. The server causes display of the target success yield group.
