  • Publication number: 20230410176
    Abstract: A method including tracking a dynamic source ranking for a content provider separately by item categories of items of a content catalog. The method also can include receiving a new value to be associated with an attribute in an attribute-value pair for an item of the items. The new value can be provided by the content provider. The method additionally can include generating a priority score for the new value based on input features comprising the dynamic source ranking for the content provider for an item category of the item categories in which the item is classified, a confidence score for the new value, and an offer status of the new value. A first weighting associated with the dynamic source ranking and a second weighting associated with the confidence score are each greater than a third weighting associated with the offer status.

  • Publication number: 20230342658
    Abstract: Systems and methods enable optimized infrastructure deployment planning and validation. In embodiments, a method includes: training, by a computing device, a machine learning (ML) predictive model with historic infrastructure deployment data of a plurality of resource providers in a network environment, including resource dependencies; generating, by the computing device, a deployment topology for requested resources of an information technology (IT) deployment request of a user; generating, by the computing device using the ML predictive model, a confidence score regarding a likelihood of successful implementation of the deployment request based on dependencies of the deployment topology; and dynamically implementing, by the computing device, deployment of the IT deployment request to provision the requested resources from multiple providers in the network environment based on the confidence score.

  • Patent number: 11741521
    Abstract: A method including providing a content catalog for items. The content catalog can include attributes for the items, values associated with the attributes, content provider identifiers of content providers that provided the values, and confidence scores for the values. The method also can include tracking source rankings for the content providers for item categories. The method additionally can include receiving a new value associated with an attribute of the attributes for an item of the items. The new value can be provided by a content provider of the content providers. The method further can include generating a priority score for the new value based on a set of input features associated with the new value and a set of score weightings associated with the set of input features. The set of input features can include (a) a source ranking of the source rankings for the content provider for an item category of the item categories associated with the item and (b) a confidence score for the new value.

  • Patent number: 11372939
    Abstract: An inventory management system may have at least one document database and a search server. The search server may have a data structure engine storing a hierarchical data structure, at least one indexing engine, and a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor cause the search server to receive an input document, parse one or more sub documents from the input document, prepare a search document based on the one or more sub documents, and update, by the data structure engine, the hierarchical data structure based on the search document. The search engine may further construct a relationship query based on a query for information and the hierarchical data structure, determine one or more sub documents responsive to the relationship query based on the hierarchical data structure, and extract information requested by the query from the sub documents.
