  • Publication number: 20210383330
    Abstract: A system for forecasting a chance of success of a user locating employment, assisting the user to become employed, or both, is disclosed. The system has at least one client device associated with a user, a network interface for receiving an input from the GUI, and sending an output to a server, wherein the output is associated with the at least one task. A machine learning module has a data repository, a monitoring module, a predictive analyzer module and a multivariate analyzing module that utilizes an output confidence metric from the data repository to perform predictive modeling to correlate outputs associated with the at least one task with confidence data to output a quantification of chance of success at finding the employment. A method for forecasting a chance of success of a user locating employment, assisting the user to become employed, or both is provided as well.

  • Patent number: 8117007
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for identifying an interval for performing a maintenance task. The process retrieves scheduled maintenance data and un-scheduled in-service maintenance data for a given apparatus type. The process maps the un-scheduled in-service maintenance data to the scheduled maintenance data for the given apparatus type to form mapped maintenance data. The process performs a statistical analysis on the mapped maintenance data. The process identifies an optimal interval for performing the maintenance task based on a result of the statistical analysis to form a recommended maintenance interval.
