  • Publication number: 20230081511
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved payroll management in a freelance driven industry is provided. Payroll documents may be uploaded through a web portal to the payroll management system as a digital image. The document is then split into individual pages, each page representing a “form”, and subjected to optical character recognition (OCR) to generate a machine readable document, which are then matched to one of many possible form types. This matching may rely upon keyword disambiguation and/or machine learning classifications. Data is extracted from the form using a coordinate identification system. The forms may be reconstituted as standardized forms. These standardized forms are then stitched together into packets by user, by employing logic. The hourly gross compensation for the user is calculated, responsive to constraints collected from many sources (including contractual constraints, statutory constraints, and union imposed constraints).

  • Patent number: 11606668
    Abstract: A system to assist in monitoring and improving services in hotels, motels and other lodging facilities. The system includes a plurality of fixed-location wireless devices that are situated throughout the facility and each service provider or asset to be monitored or tracked is provided with a cooperating mobile wireless device. The mobile devices may periodically transmit beacons that are received by the fixed location devices. The system may determine location based on evaluation of signal strength across a plurality of fixed devices. The system may include premapped calibration data on signal strength to assist in determining location. The location information may help to assess employee performance, to assist in improving performance and to provide improved services. The system may also interact with an application running on a hotel guest's electronic device to allow the system to track guest location. Guest location information can be used to provide improved guest services.

  • Patent number: 11403554
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence testing apparatus may include processing circuitry configured to execute instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to create initial sample points based on a simulation received at the apparatus, and employ cyclic evaluation of the simulation until a stopping criteria is met. Employing the cyclic evaluation includes running the simulation at design points for a set of queries associated with a current iteration of the cyclic evaluation, training a set of meta-models of parameter space associated with the simulation for the current iteration, computing a set of metrics for the current iteration, and employing a selected sampling approach to select a new set of design points for a next iteration of the cyclic evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20220027398
    Abstract: The present invention provides assistance to a user that is on-boarding an action for a virtual assistant. Methods and systems provide, based on an initial command group, recommendations for additional commands, actions, and applications that are relevant to commands included in the initial command group. The initial command group includes commands that include a sequence of natural language words or tokens. Additional commands are determined. The additional commands are relevant to the initial commands and provided to the user as recommended commands to include in the command group. The additional commands are determined by employing the initial commands as search queries to search preprocessed document clusters. Each document included in the document clusters relates to a potential command to include in the command group. In response to receiving a selection of a recommended command, the command group is updated to include the selected recommended command.
