  • Publication number: 20240370937
    Abstract: A method of identifying a vehicle total loss claim includes retrieving a plurality of historical vehicle records, labeling the records as repaired or total loss, calculating mean cost values, training a regression model, optimizing a probability threshold, analyzing a plurality of inputs to generate a prediction, and transmitting the prediction. A computing system includes a transceiver; a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing system to receive answers, transmit the answers, receive a prediction, when the prediction is repairable, generate a repair suggestion, and when the prediction is total loss, generate a settlement offer. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions that when executed, cause a computer to receive answers, transmit the answers, receive a prediction, when the prediction is repairable, generate a repair suggestion, and when prediction is total loss, generate a settlement offer.

  • Patent number: 11972489
    Abstract: A claims processing system includes a claims assistance component to handle the flow of data through the claim process. The data may include any documents submitted for claim processing and may be generated by disparate sources. The system may train one or more machine learning (ML) models to classify the unstructured data by insurance categories and/or determine workflow. The system may assist a user through a user device to upload or capture claims data with the device. The claims assistance component may classify the data and verify the data classification before uploading it to the servers. In examples, the claims assistance component may determine that the file size of the data exceeds a cellular data transfer threshold and determine to compress the data and/or hold the transfer until a free connection is detected.
