  • Patent number: 11887063
    Abstract: Automated vehicle repair estimation by random ensembling of multiple artificial intelligence functions is provided. A method comprises receiving a vehicle damage object that includes a plurality of metadata objects of the damaged vehicle; fragmenting the object into fragments each including at least one of the metadata objects; providing each of the fragments to a respective artificial intelligence function; receiving a respective vehicle repair recommendation set from each of the artificial intelligence functions, wherein each of the vehicle repair recommendation sets identifies a recommended vehicle repair operation of a plurality of the vehicle repair operations for the damaged vehicle; selecting a plurality of the recommended vehicle repair operations; generating a composite vehicle repair recommendation set that identifies the selected recommended vehicle repair operations; and providing the composite vehicle repair recommendation set to one or more vehicle repair insurance claims management systems.

  • Patent number: 11669590
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing predictions for vehicle repair estimates are provided. A method includes providing one or more images of a damaged vehicle as input to a machine learning model, wherein the machine learning model has been trained with images of other damaged vehicles and corresponding vehicle operations, wherein each of the vehicle operations represents the repair or replacement of a vehicle component; receiving output of the machine learning model responsive to the input, wherein the output comprises a plurality of values each corresponding to one of a plurality of the vehicle operations; determining a confidence metric based on the values; making a comparison between the confidence metric and a confidence threshold value; and selecting the one of the plurality of the vehicle operations corresponding to the highest value as a predicted operation based on the comparison.
