  • Patent number: 12340326
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for generating an assortment plan by an assortment planner. The assortment planner stores value metrics for two or more products, each of the products including two or more of attributes. The assortment planner also analyzes the two or more attributes, by generating attribute values for each of the two or more attributes and communicates the attribute values for each of the two or more attributes to a planning engine. The assortment planner also further constructs a product attributes table and a value metrics table, duplicates the attribute values to generate a merged product attributes table including a number of duplicates of the attribute values and generates a binary value table for each of the attribute values, one or more itemsets, and an assortment of products based, at least in part, on the one or more itemsets. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250199772
    Abstract: There is described a method for adding a recommended process action to a design of a software process, the method being executed by at least one processor, the method comprising: recognizing a current state in the software process, the current state being associated with contextual information; determining, based on the contextual information, the recommended process action by: identifying, based on historical process data, a plurality of process actions; ranking, based on a suitability for the software process, the plurality of process actions; and selecting a highest ranked process action as the recommended process action; transmitting, to a client device, the recommended process action; receiving, from the client device, an indication of acceptance of the recommended process action; and in response to the indication of acceptance of the recommended process action, adding the recommended process action to the design of the software process.

  • Patent number: 12265798
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adding process actions to the design of a robotic software process. A context-recognition module recognizes a current state of a process being designed, and passes information on that current state to a recommendation module. The recommendation module evaluates the current state and identifies at least one suitable process action to recommend in response to that current state. The recommendation module then recommends the at least one process action to the human designer. If the designer accepts the recommendation, a design module adds the process action to the process design. The recommendation module may also use information about previous actions in the process and in other processes when identifying suitable process actions. The context-recognition module and the recommendation module may each comprise at least one machine learning module, which may or may not be neural network based.

  • Patent number: 11816166
    Abstract: Systems and methods for routing a document based on the contents of this document. The content of this document is first subjected to a recognition process and then the result is subjected to multiple types of analysis. Based on the results of the analysis (including contextual analysis), a destination is determined along with any timelines detailed in the document. As well, a severity of the document, indicating the severity of consequences if the document is not handled quickly, is determined. Based on these, an urgency tag and/or a severity tag are assigned to the document. A final destination is determined based on the output of the analysis of the severity, the urgency, and of the destination.

  • Patent number: 11762875
    Abstract: Systems and method for use in assisting a user in data aggregation tasks. A system determines the type of data needed by the user to complete the data aggregation task and, based on an indication of the data needed, queries multiple data sources. The results from the multiple data sources are then collated and aligned as necessary. Inconsistencies in the data are resolved or flagged to the user for attention. A completed form or a presentation set of data is then presented to the user for validation.

  • Publication number: 20220051136
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing multiple robotic agents in an enterprise. The robotic agents share their inputs and outputs with a data coordinator module. The coordinator module, through that data, learns the enterprise's goals and values and learns to optimize robotic agents on both a per section and on a per agent basis. The data is useful for training future versions of the coordinator module as well for training machine learning modules that aim to further the enterprise's goals.
