  • Publication number: 20240386314
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for generating predictions using machine learning model(s) are provided. For example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving raw historical data identifying historical value(s) corresponding to attribute value(s) of a set of ordered attribute values and transforming the raw historical data into parameter expanded data by, for each particular attribute value of the set of ordered attribute values, aggregating each of the historical value(s) that corresponds to the particular attribute value and each of the historical value(s) that corresponds to an attribute value that is greater than the particular attribute value. The machine learning model(s) are trained based on the parameter expanded data, which trained machine learning model(s) are used to generate the predictions.

  • Patent number: 8645220
    Abstract: A method and system for creating an augmented reality experience in connection with a stored value token comprises augmented reality software which can be loaded on a general purpose computer. This augmented reality software can be downloaded from an external source, such as the Internet. The augmented reality software may monitor camera signals in order to detect a marker on a stored value token. The augmented reality software tracks the position of this marker relative to camera. The augmented reality software can produce an object which is projected on the image captured by the camera and adjacent to the image of the marker. The projected object can have three dimensions as it is projected on a two dimensional display. In response to certain conditions, the projected object may later be changed so that it contains a graphical item related to the value associated with the stored value token.
