  • Patent number: 11494850
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence techniques for scalably detecting anomalies within payroll data for a plurality of payees are disclosed. The payroll data may comprise a plurality of payroll records that are associated with a plurality of payees, and the inventive computer system can detect anomalies via steps such as (1) processing a history of the payroll records for a payee to generate a payee-specific pay distribution model, (2) comparing the payroll record for a pay period for the payee with the payee-specific pay distribution model, (3) determining whether a payroll anomaly for the payee exists within the payroll record for the pay period for the payee based on the comparing step, (4) in response to a determination that a payroll anomaly for the payee exists, flagging the payroll anomaly for further review or analysis, and (5) performing the processing, comparing, determining, and flagging steps for a plurality of payees.

  • Publication number: 20210319407
    Abstract: Auto-populating a user interface based on service information and/or duration information is described. Transaction data associated with one or more transactions processed by a payment processing service on behalf of one or more merchants can be received. Based at least in part on stored transaction data associated with the one or more transactions, service information associated with one or more services performed by the one or more merchants can be determined. Based at least in part on the stored transaction data, duration information associated with the one or more services performed by the one or more merchants can be determined. The service information and/or the duration information can be used to generate, without input from a user, user interface components corresponding to the one or more services and one or more periods of time for performing the one or more services.

  • Patent number: 10963846
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for automated integration between services provided by a service provider. The techniques described herein employ classifiers to determine whether items offered for sale by a merchant are services or goods. A service-identification model may receive names of items as inputs, and be trained or otherwise configured to output indications of whether the names of the items correspond to services. In some examples, the names of the items which correspond to services may further be input into a duration-identification model, which is trained or otherwise configured to determine periods of time required by the merchant to perform the services. The techniques described herein may include populating user interfaces, such as a merchant website, with indications of the services, as well as periods of time to perform the services, that customers may interact with to schedule appointments with the merchant.

  • Patent number: 10068176
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a defect prediction method and apparatus, which relate to the data processing field, and implement accurate and quick locating of a defect in a faulty product. A specific solution is as follows: selecting a training attribute set from a pre-stored product fault record according to a target attribute, and combining the target attribute and the training attribute set into a training set, where the target attribute is a defect attribute of a historical faulty product; generating a classifier set according to the training set, where the classifier set includes at least two tree classifiers; and predicting a defect of a faulty product by using the classifier set as a prediction model. The present invention is used in a process of predicting a defect of a faulty product.

  • Patent number: 6263194
    Abstract: An apparatus and method to use the temperature of a transmitting radio to prevent transmission of radio waves outside of an assigned frequency band. More specifically, if a transmitter exceeds a specified temperature the transmitter will be automatically disabled to prevent temperature caused frequency shifts outside the approved frequency transmission band for the transmitter. The transmitter has a temperature sensor that senses temperature and compare the operating temperature against a preselected temperature limit. It the operating temperature either is too hot or too cold the transmitter will be disabled and will not transmit until the temperature falls or rises to an acceptable level.
