  • Patent number: 11657418
    Abstract: The process of obtaining an insurance quote is currently based on information provided by filing online forms. Insurance companies use the consumer input data from online the forms to provide a quote for property insurance and for insurance underwriting. To complete the underwriting, the insurance companies have to make assumptions on various factors; for example, the structure and layout of a consumer's home, what type of content the consumer owns, its value, and its condition, among several others. It is desirable to get more accurate data on the consumer content, the structure and layout of the home, as well as other factors (e.g., hazards such as whether a house is on a canyon) in an automated fashion which would let insurance companies underwrite policies with a more accurate risk profile as well as save costs by not having to send an onsite inspector.

  • Patent number: 11605013
    Abstract: Decentralized machine learning to build models is performed at nodes where local training datasets are generated. A blockchain platform may be used to coordinate decentralized machine learning over a series of iterations. For each iteration, a distributed ledger may be used to coordinate the nodes. Rules in the form of smart contracts may enforce node participation in an iteration of model building and parameter sharing, as well as provide logic for electing a node that serves as a master node for the iteration. The master node obtains model parameters from the nodes and generates final parameters based on the obtained parameters. The master node may write its state to the distributed ledger indicating that the final parameters are available. Each node, via its copy of the distributed ledger, may discover the master node's state and obtain and apply the final parameters to its local model, thereby learning from other nodes.
