Publication number: 20220261830Abstract: Systems, methods and products for determining a consumer-facing price using a demand model that is generated based on historical transactional data. One embodiment comprises a method implemented in a pricing module of an automotive data processing system. Data that identifies a consumer (or consumer group) and a vehicle type are received and the demand model is accessed to generate a payment corresponding to the attributes of the consumer and the attributes of the vehicle type. The demand model may be implemented in a machine learning engine that maintains a set of weights ? used in a predictive demand function. The weights are adjusted by the machine learning engine to minimize a loss function which measures deviation of demand estimated by the predictive demand function from the demand indicated by a set of historical transaction data.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Daniel J. Malik, Joshua S. Schoenfield, John Case, Scott Edward Painter
