Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine readable and executable instructions are provided for determining offer terms from text. A method for determining offer terms from text can include mapping keywords to a domain of a procurement event, and receiving, to a computing device, an offer text associated with the procurement event. Event-specific entities are identified, by the computing device, in the offer text. The computing device determines the domain of the procurement event from the identified event-specific entities, and using the mapped keywords corresponding to the determined domain, determines offer components from the offer text, extracts offer parameters from the offer text, and constructs the offer structure using the identified event-specific entities, derived offer components, and extracted offer parameters.

Abstract: A collaborative inventory management forecast and response analysis system includes a forecast and response summary engine and a display engine. The forecast and response summary engine is to generate a summary of a plurality of standardized forecast input series using continuum canonical correlation and a user-provided parameter, generate a summary of a plurality of standardized response input series using continuum canonical correlation and the user-provided parameter, and update the summaries of the plurality of standardized forecast and response series based on a varied value of the user-provided input parameter. The display engine is to display the summaries of the plurality of standardized forecast and response series and display the updated summaries of the plurality of standardized forecast and response series.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable and executable instructions are provided for selecting data paths. Selecting data paths can include creating a support data tree structure from a number of data trees within a data set. In addition, selecting data paths can include removing a number of paths from the support data tree based on a number of evaluations of each of a number of nodes within the support data tree. Furthermore, selecting data paths can include selecting a desired set of paths based on a desired number of removed paths and an associated number of evaluations of the support data tree.

Abstract: A method performed by a processing system displays a graph of a portion of a rolling horizon time series corresponding to a realization of a realization time series adjacent to a graph of the realization time series.

Abstract: A method performed by a processing system includes comparing contracts having different lengths using uncertainty information corresponding to a non-overlap period between the contracts and providing an output that represents a comparison between the contracts in view of the uncertainty information.

Abstract: A source offer and offer parameters regarding the source offer are received. Specifications for one or more of a number of conversion parameters are also received. The source offer is converted to a target offer, based on the offer parameters and the conversion parameters specified. Where the source offer is an incremental offer, the target offer is a cumulative offer. Where the source offer is a cumulative offer, the target offer is an incremental offer. In an incremental offer, when a volume reaches a volume threshold, a price decreases by a corresponding price discount for the volume above the volume threshold, but the price does not decrease for the volume below the volume threshold. In a cumulative offer, when the volume reaches at the volume threshold, the price decreases by the corresponding price discount for the volume both below and above the volume threshold.
