  • Patent number: 11769165
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a specialized machine learned model, called a look-alike model, is trained using a machine learning algorithm to predict future job engagement for a user. This look-alike model is then used to create new segments on top of the segments provided by a rules-based approach. Specifically, the look-alike model is designed to take users who have been segmented by a rule-based approach into an “inactive job seeker” categorization (such as those assigned to the resting users and dormant users segments) and calculate a predicted job engagement score for these users. Based on the predicted job engagement score, a user may then be reassigned from one of the inactive job seeker categorizations to one of one or more new job seeker categorizations (such as predicted open job seekers or predicted opportunistic job seekers).

  • Patent number: 11704608
    Abstract: The present application discloses an improved transportation matching system, and corresponding methods and computer-readable media. According to disclosed embodiments, a transportation matching system receives session information from a requestor computing device in response to one or more session events. The system utilizes the received session information to determine a likelihood that the associated session on the requestor computing device will result in a transportation request. If the determined likelihood is above a threshold amount, the system generates an upfront dispatch that matches the associated session to a provider computing device. The system then reserves the provider computing device and generates a predicted dispatch for the reserved provider computing device.

  • Patent number: 11651313
    Abstract: A security threat candidate (STC) detector examines a set of activity log records representing access requests directed to data artifacts by various entities of an organization. In a first threat analysis, the STC detector determines that an activity log record indicates a use of an access path which is not present in a database of legitimate access paths for an entity. In a second threat analysis, the STC detector determines whether the behavior of the entity matches a stored suspect behavior pattern template. Results of the first and/or second analysis are transmitted to a selected security management component of the organization.

  • Patent number: 11631037
    Abstract: A System, Method, and Apparatus for Predicting Medical No-Shows and for Scheduling is provided. The system is based on a patient appointment schedule and indicators including office type, practice area, appointment type, engagement with the office leading up to appointment, and a variety of other characteristics of each patient and appointment. The indicators can be selected, weighted proportionately, and input into an algorithm for analysis and processing. The algorithm can then predict the likelihood of a no-show for the respective patient and appointment. The likelihood can then be used for scheduling to minimize the negative impact on the medical professional of the no-show. The algorithm can be used in conjunction with machine learning to improve its accuracy as it informs itself with experience and additional data points. The likelihood of a no-show can be incorporated into scheduling programs and made accessible on mobile devices, computers, and other monitoring devices.
