Abstract: The Probabilistic Analysis Trading Platform Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“PATP”) transforms model training request and security analysis request inputs via PATP components into model parameters data, model training response, order request, and security analysis response outputs. A security analysis request associated with a security may be obtained via security analysis component. Model parameters of a model associated with the security may be retrieved. Modified nodes of the model for which probabilities have been modified by expert input data associated with the security analysis request may be determined. Dependent nodes for each of the modified nodes may be determined. Probabilities associated with the dependent nodes may be recalculated and an output value associated with a result node of the model may be determined based on the recalculated probabilities. A trading action may be facilitated based on the output value.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for assigning tasks to resources. The method includes receiving one or more constraints corresponding to each of the tasks and one or more constraints corresponding to each of the resources. The method also includes receiving a value from a user defining at least one of a plurality of variables including: (i) a resource variable representing resources available for allocation to the tasks, (ii) a duration variable representing a time frame for completing the tasks, and iii) a scope variable representing one or more of the plurality of tasks requiring execution. The method further includes applying a first optimization scheme to determine a value for each undefined variable to formulate a task delivery plan and applying a second optimization scheme to determine a task for assignment to a resource.
