  • Patent number: 11144884
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reminding a user or a group of users about one or more items related to an upcoming event. The upcoming event is identified based on user data and a context for determining a list of items useful for the upcoming event is obtained. The list of items for the identified upcoming event is determined, using the context, and item reminder enhancement factors are determined in response to the upcoming event and the determined list of items. Content selection models are determined based on the context, the user data, and the item reminder enhancement factors. Conversational content for engaging the user or group of users is generated by applying the content selection models to a plurality of potential content.

  • Patent number: 11120459
    Abstract: A system and method utilizing a mass user gaze fixation behavior with respect to products and product racks (using a camera-based inputs and gaze-tracking algorithms) and a financial profitability of each product/product type; generates gaze-based heat maps for indicating blind spots and eye gaze points at different positions of the racks/shelves and indicating product placement positions on the heat map; and advises product placement in the retail store for optimizing financial profitability by performing an iterative refinement of product placements over a period for the product/similar products. The system translates mass eye gaze of retail store customers into financial profitability via product placement optimization, and iteratively runs a method to optimize product placements, and generate gaze-based heat maps and perform blind spot analysis for avoiding product placements at certain locations and placing products at other locations, e.g., by running a decision module on consumer gaze pattern data.

  • Patent number: 11010702
    Abstract: A model management system receives data for an inventory of models including data regarding issues for each of the models. The model management system determines a model risk score for each of the models based on the issues for each of the models. As the issues are opened and closed, the model management system receives updates and in real-time, updates the model risk score. The model risk score can be determined using a severity assigned to each issue for each of the open issues for a given model as well as the number of issues at each severity. Risk scores can be calculated across a line of business and across an enterprise, for example. The model management system also provides one or more of: model development, model validation, model integration, model use, model maintenance, and model retirement.

  • Patent number: 10970729
    Abstract: A data server receives multiple requests for data cubes that include data related to a user-specified subject matter. The requests are aggregated into an aggregated request, and an initial data cube is retrieved based on the aggregated request. Upon determining that the initial data cube fails to provide requisite data needed by the aggregated request due to data being missing from the initial data cube, the missing data is located and identified as augmentation data. The initial data cube and the augmentation data are sent to senders of the multiple requests for data cubes. Instructions are transmitted to install the initial data cube and the one or more of the sets of data into an electronic device that has been predetermined to be related to the user-specified subject-matter, the installation improves a functioning of the electronic device by modifying an operation of the electronic device.
