  • Publication number: 20240111568
    Abstract: Dynamic timers are determined using machine learning. The timers are used to control the amount of time that new data transaction requests wait before being processed by a data transaction processing system. The timers are adjusted based on changing conditions within the data transaction processing system. The dynamic timers may be determined using machine learning inference based on feature values calculated as a result of the changing conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230360421
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer readable media for natural language processing and text analytics of audit documentation for prioritization and selection. Text extraction and conversion techniques can analyze documents corresponding to an audit request to generate a dataset. A two-layer model can produce word embeddings to reconstruct linguistic contexts of words in the dataset. An embedding layer can map each word, and a classifier layer can generate a similarity score for each word. A three-layer model can determine weights of documents in the dataset. A ranking layer can obtain a document rank value for each document. An initial layer and successive layers can receive feature vectors and document rank values to assign weights to the documents. Based on the document weights and the audit request, the natural language processing and text analytics can determine an audit likelihood for each document to prioritize and select subsets of the documents.

  • Publication number: 20180213027
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage mediums for filtering communication events communicated over a communications network from a network node to a device. In one aspect, a method includes configuring, via a communication client application, the device to associate each of a plurality of sets of filtering parameters with a different operating mode of the device, in response to a transition of the device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, determining, by the device, a first set of filtering parameters associated with the second operating mode based on the configuring, and transmitting, by the device, the determined first set of filtering parameters to the network node, the transmission instructing the network node to transmit particular types of communication events permitted by the first set of filtering parameters to the device and to block other types of communication events to the device that are not permitted by the first set of filtering parameters.

  • Patent number: 9889795
    Abstract: A system is provided having a controller for controlling operation of warning devices mounted on a vehicle for providing warning signals directed external of the vehicle. The controller receives one or more vehicle event signals, each indicative of occurrence of a different vehicle event. The controller responsive to receiving each vehicle event signal overrides operation of one or more of the warning devices from a normal operating mode into an override operating mode in accordance with the vehicle event associated with the vehicle event signal being received. In an override operating mode, warning device(s) may provide visual signals to supplement pre-existing vehicular light indicators of vehicle events, while other warning device(s) may be disabled to avoid confusion with such vehicular light indicators. To facilitate ease of connection, each warning device couples to the controller at an output port for receiving power and ground, and control signals from the controller.
