Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically interviewing and evaluating prospective clients for engagement by a law firm. Through a virtual agent interface a prospective client is engaged in conversation to elicit information useful in determining whether the prospective client is suitable for an engagement. Information obtained from the prospective client is evaluated to identify likely causes of action, which are scored and assessed against engagement criteria. If the scoring and assessment reveal that the prospective client's likely cause of action is suitable for engagement, an engagement process is initiated, otherwise, the interview continues in an attempt to identify other potential causes of action and/or additional facts for reassessing the initially identified potential cause of action. If one or more potential causes of action score sufficiently high enough to warrant engagement, an engagement process is initiated, otherwise a non-engagement procedure with the prospective client is performed.

Abstract: System and method for automatically calling back a customer via a predictive model determines a plurality of call-back metrics for a plurality of advisor records. The predictive model is applied to call-back data to identify customers that are likely to require a series of call-backs, and automatically generates a preferred call-back to such customers to reduce this risk. The automated call-back may follow termination of an identified customer's inbound call, or at some time after completion of a previous call interaction of the identified customer with an advisor. In the predictive model, a first compilation of call-back metrics record is representative of an overall likelihood of call-backs associated with each advisor record, and a second compilation of the plurality of call-back metrics is representative of a likelihood of call-backs for each of the plurality of products of the enterprise associated with the advisor record.

Abstract: Techniques are described for energy scoring of a monitored property and users of the monitored property. A system provides users with information related to the efficiency of the monitored property and aggregates data over multiple monitored properties. The system computes and outputs a score for a monitored property that reflects efficiency of the property and/or the users of the property. The system may track how that score changes through time, and how it relates to neighboring properties. The score may be expressed as both a number and a percentile.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage mediums storing methods of natural capital measurement are described. A region of influence for the area whose natural capital is to be measured is determined and segmented into a plurality of segments. A land assessment model, including a system dynamics model and a spatially explicit model, is generated for the region of influence by training one or more machine learning algorithms to classify land use categories for the segments and to determine statistical relationships between state variables and properties of the segment. A flow sequence for simulating a transport of materials between the plurality of segments is executed to update the land assessment model. Health indicators for the natural capital of the area are generated using the updated land assessment model.

Abstract: In an example, a subject using a user mobile-identification-credential device (UMD) requests vetting by a vetting system, which receives verified subject information associated with a level-n mobile identification credential (MIC-n) that UMD received from a level-n authorizing party system (APS-n). MIC-n is linked to lower level MIC-0 to MIC-(n?1). The vetting system, as level-n relying party system (RPS-n), uses the verified subject information associated with the linked MIC-0 to MIC-n to verify or not verify the identity of the subject, develops an identity profile of the subject, and determines a vetting result of the subject by calculating a composite trust score based on MIC trust values for the multiple levels of MIC. MIC-i (i=1 to n) is linked to MIC-(i?1) which UMD received from APS-(i?1), and APS-i is RPS-(i?1) which verified the identity of the subject using verified subject information associated with MIC-(i?1), such that MIC-0 to MIC-n are linked.

Abstract: A computerized matching system enable users to utilize video clips to promote and/or find a person/people, place, or consumer item. The system is a recommendation service, embodied preferably in a mobile app, suggesting potential matches for its users. These suggestions are based upon the information and data entered by the users in their user profiles, as well as their Ideal Match Criteria (i.e. what it is they are seeking). The suggestions are also based upon algorithms that analyze and learn from available rating history data to make predictions on potential matches, utilizing rating trends of that user (i.e. the prior ratings entered by that user during their usage of the system while viewing other videos) as well as the rating trends of other users who have rated the same videos in a similar manner (herein referred to as Similar Rating Groups, or SRGs).

Abstract: In an example, a subject using a user mobile-identification-credential device (UMD) requests vetting by a vetting system, which receives verified part or all of subject information associated with a level-n mobile identification credential (MIC-n) that UMD received from a level-n authorizing party system (APS-n). The MIC-n is linked to lower level MIC-0 to MIC-(n?1). The vetting system, as level-n relying party system (RPS-n), uses the verified subject information associated with the linked MIC-0 to MIC-n to verify or not verify the identity of the subject, develops an identity profile of the subject, and determines a vetting result of the subject. MIC-i (i=1 to n) is linked to MIC-(i?1) which UMD received from APS-(i?1), and the APS-i is RPS-(i?1) which verified the identity of the subject using verified part or all of subject information associated with the MIC-(i?1), such that MIC-0 to MIC-n from level-0 to level-n are linked.
