Patent number: 11550858Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and verifying closed places (e.g., claims no longer in business) from trip data are provided. A networked system accesses trip data associated with the POI. The networked system processes the trip data to generate at least two time buckets based on timestamps from the trip data associated with the POI, and calculates trip counts associated with the POI for each of the time buckets. Using a machine learning algorithm and based on the at least two time buckets, the networked system determines that the trip counts show a decline over time that indicates that the POI is likely closed. In response to the determining, the networked system updates a database to indicate the POI is closed.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alvin AuYoung, Livia Zarnescu Yanez, Kyle Elliot DeHovitz, Ted Douglas Herringshaw, Joshua Lodge Ross, Vikram Saxena, Chandan Prakash Sheth, Shivendra Pratap Singh, Sheng Yang

Patent number: 11118921Abstract: An authoritative candidate is selected for determining a location of a point of interest (POI). Source data including name, address, and location for POIs is received from multiple data sources. The received data is normalized for ease of comparison, and coordinates for each candidate are compared to coordinates of other candidates to determine which candidate if any is an authoritative location for the POI. The candidate locations are compared using two models a metric-based scoring system and a machine learning model that may utilize a gradient boosted decision tree. The authoritative candidate can be used to render digital maps that include the POI. In addition, the authoritative candidate's location can be used to provide vehicle route guidance to the POI.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Chandan Prakash Sheth, Sheng Yang, Vasudev Parameswaran, Shivendra Pratap Singh, Jane Alam Jan

Patent number: 10984060Abstract: Systems and methods for improving attribute data for a point of interest (POI) are provided. A networked system accesses trip data associated with the POI. The networked system generates, using a processor-implemented clustering algorithm, a first spatial cluster and a second spatial cluster using coordinates corresponding to the POI indicated in the trip data. A centroid for the first spatial cluster and a centroid for the second spatial cluster are identified by the networked system. The networked system determines that a difference in distance between the centroid for the first spatial cluster and the centroid for the second spatial cluster meets or transgresses a centroid distance threshold. In response to the determining, a database is updated to indicate a new attribute for the POI, the new attribute corresponds to an attribute associated with either the first spatial cluster or the second spatial cluster.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alvin AuYoung, Livia Zarnescu Yanez, Kyle Elliot DeHovitz, Ted Douglas Herringshaw, Joshua Lodge Ross, Vikram Saxena, Chandan Prakash Sheth, Shivendra Pratap Singh, Sheng Yang

Patent number: 10955251Abstract: Systems and methods of identifying incorrect coordinate prediction using route information are disclosed herein. In some example embodiments, a computer system receives route information and geographic image data. The route information corresponds to a servicing of a request associated with a place and indicates a travelled route that has been traveled by a user in traveling from an origin location to the place, and the geographic image data represents a geographic area corresponding to the travelled route. The computer system determines that an initial geographic location stored in a database in association with the place is incorrect based on the route information and the geographic image data using a first deep learning model, and then performs a verification operation based on the determining that the stored initial geographic location of the place is incorrect.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Chandan Prakash Sheth, Sheng Yang

Patent number: 10902033Abstract: Systems and methods for improving accuracy of geographic position data are provided. A networked system mines ticket data from content of the ticket. Based on the ticket data, a determination is made that the ticket indicates an issue with a trip involving a point of interest (POI). The networked system extracts trip data from a trip log corresponding to the trip involving the POI, and identifies, from a data storage, stored attributes of the POI. The networked system analyzes the ticket data, trip data, and attributes to determine a workflow to improve accuracy of the POI, whereby the analyzing comprises determining a priority level to verify accuracy of the POI. The workflow is triggered based on the priority level to verify accuracy of the POI.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alvin AuYoung, Sheng Yang, Chandan Prakash Sheth, Livia Zarnescu Yanez, Chun-Chen Kuo, Shivendra Pratap Singh, Vikram Saxena
