  • Publication number: 20220261830
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20160078165
    Abstract: In general, embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for generating a tiling for a physical placement of a plurality of circuits. The method includes generating a tiling including a plurality of tiles, where each tile identifies a tile geometric area, and a list of one or more of the circuits to be placed in the tile geometric area. The tiling is based on a description of one or more user constraints, where each user constraint identifies a constraint geometric area, and a characteristic of circuits to be placed in the constraint geometric area.
