Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices may enable management of a renewable power asset. A control device may generate a Day-Ahead (DA) pricing model, a Real-Time (RT) pricing model and a renewable generation model for the renewable power asset. Optimal DA commitments may be determined, and an optimal RT schedule estimated. A DA power delivery strategy and an RT power delivery strategy may be determined. The determined DA and RT power delivery strategies may be evaluated based on obtained real power prices. The DA and RT power delivery strategies may be redetermined, and the renewable power asset may be controlled to deliver power the DA and RT power delivery strategies. The value of the renewable power asset may be maximized while bounding financial risks and returns associated with scheduling the renewable power asset as tailored to risk preferences of the renewable power asset owner or operator.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes improvements in optimization systems. During an optimization loop, an advanced objective function is used to determine an objective value, a specification metric, and a rule coverage metric for a particular solution. The specification metric characterizes compliance of the solution with certain formal specifications. The rule coverage metric characterizes the degree to which all rules (or a particular rule) are tested during testing of the system. The objective value and metrics may influence future operation of the optimization loop.

Abstract: A method includes displaying on a graphic user interface (GUI) of a computing device of a user, a log of computing operations performed by the user at computing terminals of entity servers respectively managed by entities. The user uses a unique authorization identifier provided by the authorizing entity to authorize the computing operations at the computing terminals of the entity servers. The user provides a fraud indication through the GUI that at least one computing operation in the log is fraudulent. Memory jogging visual units are displayed on the GUI to the user that cause the user to recall performing the at least one computing operation identified as being fraudulent. An entry of the at least one computing operation in an operation database is marked as a valid operation authorized by the user when receiving a recognition indication and potentially fraudulent when no recognition indication by the user.
Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method that receives, by a processor, an ensemble decision tree and generates, by the processor, native code from the ensemble decision tree. The method compiles, by the processor, the native code into machine language and scores, by the processor, the execution time of the native code. The method dynamically reoptimizes, by the processor, portions of the native code corresponding to the most traversed portion of the ensemble decision tree.

The list generator receives a plurality of schedule items that are set for a point of time after the boarding of the user is identified from the schedule acquisition unit and combines baggage lists that correspond to activities in the plurality of schedule items that have been received so as to generate a baggage list for checking in order to check whether there are enough baggage items.
Abstract: A system for solution architecture prediction may identify a previous solution from a data source and may create a historical solution evaluation matrix by mapping a plurality of concern categories with the previous solution. The system may identify a plurality of solution components preponderant to deriving a solution associated with the solution architecture prediction and create a potential solution evaluation matrix therefrom. The system may evaluate the historical solution evaluation matrix and the potential solution evaluation matrix to determine a credibility score for each solution comprised therein. Based on the evaluation, a solution prediction data may be generated including a previous solution, a potential solution, and the associated credibility score. A service solution may be selected from the solution prediction data to resolve the solution prediction requirement.
Abstract: Systems and methods for features engineering, in which internal and external signals are received and fused.

Abstract: A method for tracking containers. The method includes manufacturing containers, including forming the containers and serializing them with machine-readable codes. The method further includes using the machine-readable codes to store data associated with the containers, and supplying the containers to a customer. The method still further comprises receiving from the customer, data obtained from customer-readings of the machine-readable codes; and receiving from one or more other locations in a distribution chain in which the containers travel, data obtained from readings of the machine-readable codes at those locations. The method still further comprises comparing the data from the customer-readings and other readings of the machine-readable codes across product brands, product distribution channels, and/or container types, and providing the data to the customer.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of information technology, involving the techniques of fuzzy modeling, reinforcement learning, parallel computing, etc. It is a method combining granular computing and reinforcement learning for construction of long-term prediction interval and determination of its structure. Adopting real industrial data, the present invention constructs multi-layer structure for assigning information granularity in unequal length and establishes corresponding optimization model at first. Then considering the importance of the structure on prediction accuracy, Monte-Carlo method is deployed to learn the structural parameters. Based on the optimal multi-layer granular computing structure along with implementing parallel computing strategy, the long-term prediction intervals of gaseous generation and consumption are finally obtained. The proposed method exhibits superiority on accuracy and computing efficiency which satisfies the demand of real-world application.

Abstract: A method of analyzing one or more asset repositories to determine a developer's competency and ability to collaborate in a team environment. The method includes obtaining metadata artifacts as documents from one or more asset repositories. The documents are represented using a tree structure that has nodes to form a knowledge graph that is suitable for input vectorization. Each node is configured in the tree structure to represent a content region within the one or more documents, with a root node representing the entire document and each node representing an aggregation of all its children nodes. One or more computing devices are used to receive an input vector that includes a set of descriptive statistics about data in asset repositories and a vectorized form of one or more concepts. The developer's competency and ability to collaborate in a team environment is automatically estimated using output values of a trained neural network.
