  • Publication number: 20230021223
    Abstract: Methods and systems for event prediction. The system includes at least one connector configured to gather at least partially incomplete data from at least one data source. The gathered data may be communicated to a model definition module that converts at least a subset of the gathered data into a prediction model in accordance with a received definition. A prediction module may receive a prediction query and, in response, supply an event prediction based on the prediction model.

  • Patent number: 11062224
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for predicting unknown values given a data set of known values. A prediction engine ingests a variety of data sets. Once the dataset has been ingested, requests for predictions may be presented to the prediction engine. The engine responds with a prediction as well as a confidence score based on the ingested information using a variety of techniques. Some of these techniques identify witness values in the ingested data that are similar to the requested prediction, other techniques compute witness values from ingested data, etc. These witness values are aggregated to yield an answer and a confidence level in a way that permits the user to review the underlying witness values.

  • Publication number: 20210109894
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically determining data relationships includes generating a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows a user to intuitively form a customized model of data from different data sources. The GUI includes icons that represent data sources, data variable selection, data modeling, and data prediction. The icons can be logically arranged to form a customized model without any additional user input or knowledge of data modeling. A prediction GUI allows the user to set customized weights of data variables in the model to form predictive controls for data prediction such as in what-if scenarios.

  • Publication number: 20190303774
    Abstract: Systems and methods for completing at least one entry in a dataset. The systems and methods described herein find a rich set of dense features for each of a plurality of entities, then combine the rich set of dense features with externally provided features to estimate a target value. The systems and methods combine these features using a neural network model in which portions of the input layer are each only connected to a portion of the hidden layer.

  • Patent number: 9251527
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a personalized recommendation from a series of partial preferences is presented. A preference distribution of a population including a plurality of weighted ranked lists is identified. A revealed preference of a user is compared to the plurality of ranked lists. An affinity weight between the user and each of the plurality of ranked lists is assigned, and a weighted average of each of the affinity weights is taken.

  • Patent number: 9201968
    Abstract: A system and method for determining a rank aggregation from a series of partial preferences is presented. A distribution is learned over preferences from partial preferences with sparse support. A computer receives a plurality of partial preferences selected from two or more preference lists. Weights are assigned to each of said plurality of partial preferences, resulting in multiple ranked lists.

  • Patent number: 8526451
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing network based flow control is presented. A linear combination of packets to transmit from a transmit queue is determined. The linear combination of packets is transmitted across a network using a sliding window protocol. An acknowledgement (ACK) is generated, wherein a packet is acknowledged when a receiving node receives the linear combination of packets and determines which packet of the linear combination of packets has been newly seen.
