  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8244455
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining a position of a vehicle with respect to a terrain. The method comprises accumulating data received from at least one sensor device regarding the occupancy of a spatial region between the vehicle and a first geographic region of the terrain, generating an evidence grid that describes the occupancy of the spatial region, identifying the position of the first geographic region of the terrain based on the evidence grid and previously compiled reference data, and determining the position of the vehicle based on the position of the first geographic region of the terrain with respect to the previously compiled reference data.
