Patent number: 11973726Abstract: A system creates alerts of issues of importance to an organization. While an organization does not want to miss the opportunity to run an advocacy campaign on an issue of importance, it also does not want to run an unsuccessful campaign that might burden or bore those to whom the campaign is directed. The system maintains a history of previous campaigns as well as success outcomes of those campaigns. A computational model operates on selected previous campaigns and a candidate issue to determine a score indicative of whether a campaign should be run. The score can include a combination of relevancy to criteria for an issue of importance, similarity to issues from previous campaigns, and outcome success data for the selected previous campaigns. If the combined score meets a threshold, the system can present an option to initiate a new advocacy campaign on the candidate issue.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Inventors: Vladimir Eidelman, Daniel Argyle, Paul Matthew Ellender, Jr.

Patent number: 11888600Abstract: An advocacy system uses trained machine learning models to create messages that are sent to advocates or policymakers to achieve desired outcomes for an organization. Desired outcomes can include, for example: an advocate sending a message to a policymaker or legislative representative advocating in favor or the organization's position on an issue; a policymaker acting or voting in favor of the organization's position on an issue; or an advocate making a financial contribution to the organization. The machine learning models can be configured to select possible message characteristics or features that the system will include/use in creating/sending messages to/for individual senders and recipients. The machine learning models can be trained based on message characteristics, personal profile characteristics of senders/recipients, and outcomes from previously sent messages.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Inventors: Vladimir Eidelman, Daniel Argyle, Paul Matthew Ellender, Jr., Megan McCoskey

Patent number: 11651460Abstract: A system for predicting and prescribing actions for impacting policymaking outcomes may include at least one processor configured to access first information scraped from the Internet to identify, for a particular pending policy, information about a plurality of policymakers slated to make a determination on the pending policy. The processor may parse the scraped first information to determine an initial prediction relating to an outcome of the pending policy. The processor may access second information to identify an action likely to change at least one of the initial prediction and the propensity of at least one policymaker, to thereby generate a subsequent prediction corresponding to an increase in a likelihood of achieving the desired outcome. The processor may display to the system user a recommendation to take the action in order to increase the likelihood of achieving the desired outcome.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: FiscalNote, Inc.Inventors: Vladimir Eidelman, Daniel Argyle

Patent number: 11127099Abstract: A hybrid prediction system may aggregate electronic data to identify and initially predict an outcome of a future event and subsequently update the initial prediction. The system may include at least one processor and a memory. The processor may access data scraped from the Internet. The data may be associated with at least one future event. The processor may further store the scraped data, determine, from the scraped data, an initial prediction of the outcome of the at least one future event, generate, from the scraped data, an initial likelihood indication associated with the initial prediction, and transmit the initial prediction and the initial likelihood indication to a device associated with one or more users. The processor may further receive proprietary information, store the proprietary information, determine, using the scraped data and the proprietary information, a subsequent likelihood indication, and transmit the subsequent likelihood indication to the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: FiscalNote, Inc.Inventors: Vladimir Eidelman, Brian Grom, Daniel Argyle, Jervis Pinto
