  • Publication number: 20240242134
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimization-based travel itinerary planning utilizing a multiattribute travel booking platform are described herein. The system has a database, a scheduler, a parser, and a processor. The database stores a travel lexicon having attribute names, a travel taxonomy having look-up tables, and user preferences for a user related to travel attributes. The scheduler instantiates the travel attributes in terms of the travel lexicon and indexes them, searches for feasible travel itineraries, and transmits an optimal travel itinerary. The parser parses the travel-related query and ascertains a relevant attribute set, which produces attribute values. The processor receives a travel-related query from a user device, receives the user preferences from the database, ranks and weights the attribute values, associates values to the feasible travel itineraries, scores the feasible travel itineraries, and selects the optimal travel itinerary.

  • Patent number: 11262203
    Abstract: A method for facilitating travel reservations is described. The method may commence with receiving a travel-related query from a user and parsing the travel-related query to derive at least one attribute of the travel-related query. One or more further users may be selected based on comparing the at least one attribute of the user with attributes of the one or more further users. The at least one attribute of the user may be ranked based on preference data of the one or more further users. The method may continue with assigning weights to the at least one attribute based on the ranking to create at least one weighted attribute. Feasible travel itineraries may be searched based on the at least one attribute. The feasible travel itineraries may be scored based on the at least one weighted attribute and travel itineraries selected based on the scoring may be presented.

  • Publication number: 20210133641
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating multi-passenger and multiattribute travel reservations are presented. The system has a database, a scheduler, a parser, and a processor. The database stores a travel lexicon having attribute names and a travel taxonomy having look-up tables. The scheduler instantiates travel attributes in terms of the travel lexicon to generate instantiated user preferences, indexes the instantiated user preferences, and searches for feasible travel itineraries. The parser parses user preferences to derive a vector function having attribute values and ascertains relevant attribute sets for the user preferences.

  • Patent number: 10332631
    Abstract: Provided is a system for automated medical decision-making. The system may include a first parser configured to parse text associated with medical information sources to obtain medical information and a second parser configured to parse patient data to obtain processed patient data. A processor, in communication with the first parser and the second parser, is configured to structure the medical information to form structured medical metadata in an intelligent medical database. Based on the structured medical metadata, the processor creates a causal network and receives the patient data from patient data sources. When the patient data is parsed by the second parser and the processed patient data is obtained, the processor maps the processed patient data against the causal network and generates the medical decision for the patient based on the mapping.

  • Publication number: 20190122315
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimization-based travel itinerary planning are described herein. An example method may commence with receiving a travel-related query from a user and deriving, from the travel-related query, at least one attribute and at least one constraint related to the travel-related query. The method may continue with ranking the at least one attribute based on preferences data of the user. The method may further include assigning weights to the at least one attribute based on the ranking to create at least one weighted attribute. The method may continue with associating cost data with the at least one weighted attribute. Feasible travel itineraries may be scored based on the at least one weighted attribute and the cost data associated with the at least one weighted attribute. The method may further include selecting, from the feasible travel itineraries, an optimal travel itinerary based on the at least one constraint.

  • Publication number: 20170293722
    Abstract: A method and a system for evaluating a cost of insurance are provided. The method may commence with parsing a text from medical information sources to obtain statistical data associated with a population of patients. The method may further include structuring the statistical data to form structured medical metadata in an intelligent medical database. Based on the structured medical metadata, a causal network may be created. The method may continue with receiving health data associated with a patient from one or more patient data sources. The health data may be parsed to obtain processed patient health data. The method may further include mapping the processed patient health data against the causal network. Based on the mapping, a future health status associated with the patient may be predicted. The method may continue with evaluating the cost of the insurance associated with the patient based on the future health status.

  • Publication number: 20160371799
    Abstract: A method for booking an itinerary using automatic consumption of loyalty reward points may commence with receiving loyalty point data associated with a customer. The loyalty point data may be associated with at least one loyalty program and loyalty reward points of the customer. The method may include receiving customer travel preferences and a request to schedule the itinerary using the loyalty reward points. Based on the loyalty point data, the at least one loyalty program may be accessed to determine an amount of the loyalty reward points and available loyalty reward offerings for the customer. The method may continue with searching for feasible itineraries for the customer based on the loyalty reward points, the available loyalty reward offerings, and the customer travel preferences.
