  • Patent number: 11424023
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement a healthcare analytics management system. A healthcare analytics development sub-system develops an analytics pipeline of a set of analytics assets for a selected healthcare based on a set of business needs for a healthcare analytics client and a healthcare analytics model based on the set of analytics assets and the set of business needs. A model deployment module of a healthcare analytics operation sub-system deploys the healthcare analytics model on a set of computing devices of the selected healthcare consumer. Responsive to detecting a performance deviation of the deployed healthcare analytics model from the set of business needs, a model feedback module determines improvement needs for the healthcare analytics model. The model feedback module feeds the improvement needs back to the healthcare analytics development sub-system. The healthcare analytics development sub-system customizes the healthcare analytics model based on the improvement needs.

  • Patent number: 11195151
    Abstract: A job matching algorithm improves matching a job opening profile to a job-seeker with accuracy and efficiency by breaking down the job opening profile into a data model of standard codes. Job criteria are abstracted as attributes into at least categories of qualifications and characteristics, having an associated assigned weight. Job-seeker profile's corresponding attributes in qualifications and characteristics are multi-dimensionally mapped to those in the job opening profile to calculate an overall score against a threshold score for successful matching. The job-seeker's profile and the job opening's profile may also be re-matched using an elastic analysis to model job seeker's strengths and growth potential for a same or a different job, through adjusting individual weights of each attribute of the qualifications and characteristics of one or both of the job-seeker's profile and the job opening profile to predict risks or successes for the job-seeker in taking the job opening.
