  • Patent number: 12386671
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide example resource allocation methods. One example method includes determining, by a first node, a hash value corresponding to a first cluster. The first node can obtain a hash ring, where the hash ring includes at least one hash value interval, and each hash value interval corresponds to one second cluster. The first node can determine a target second cluster based on the hash value corresponding to the first cluster, where the hash value corresponding to the first cluster belongs to a target hash interval, the target hash interval is a hash value interval in the at least one hash value interval, and the target hash interval corresponds to the target second cluster. The first node can establish an association relationship between the first cluster and a target second cluster, where the target second cluster is allowed to apply for a resource from the first cluster.

  • Patent number: 12353962
    Abstract: A computerized method of automatic distributed communication includes training a first and second machine learning models with historical feature vector inputs to generate a likelihood output and a mean count output, respectively. For each entity in a set, the method includes processing a likelihood feature vector input with the first machine learning model to generate a likelihood output indicative of a likelihood that the entity will have an avoidable negative health event within a specified first time period, and processing a mean count feature vector input with the second machine learning model to generate a mean count output indicative of an expected number of avoidable negative health events that the entity will have within a specified second time period. The method includes automatically distributing structured campaign data to at least a subset of entities in the set according to the likelihood output or the mean count output.
