  • Patent number: 12633129
    Abstract: Provided are a method and system for automatic driving data collection and closed-loop management. The method includes: obtaining vehicle driving data; preprocessing the vehicle driving data; obtaining incremental data by filtering, through a pre-trained neural network based on a predetermined filtering rule, the preprocessed vehicle driving data; and storing the incremental data or transmitting the incremental data to a cloud. The method can effectively filter high-value incremental data, thereby reducing requirements for data storage volume and/or data transmission bandwidth of the system. The system of the present disclosure can be post-mounted or pre-mounted on a vehicle, and is independent of specific vehicle type of the vehicle. In addition, it is not necessary for the vehicle to be equipped with real-value systems such as high-cost laser radars, which greatly improves use convenience of the system and facilitates rapid and large-scale application.

  • Publication number: 20210125131
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electronic device, a method for constructing a scoring model of retail outlets, a system and a computer readable medium. The method includes: crawling POI data of a predetermined map website by a crawler system; acquiring surrounding POI data based on a location of each retail outlet, and constructing POI relevant outlet features based on the surrounding POI data; acquiring surrounding LBS information based on the location of each retail outlet, and constructing client relevant features based on the surrounding LBS information; scoring each retail outlet based on a number of new clients increased in a predetermined time period and a revenue index; and constructing the scoring model by performing supervised learning of a preset classification algorithm model using the POI relevant outlet feature, the client relevant feature, and a score of the retail outlet.
