  • Patent number: 12131229
    Abstract: There is a need for more effective and efficient predictive data analysis based at least in part on structured data. This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing predictive data analysis using bidirectional encoder deep learning models that are configured to process structured data attributes. In one example, a method includes identifying a group of training structured data fields; generating a group of per-field tokenized values for each training structured data field; generating a bidirectional encoder deep learning model based at least in part on each group of per-field tokenized values for a training structured data field; and performing one or more prediction-based actions based at least in part on the trained bidirectional encoder deep learning model.

  • Publication number: 20230022937
    Abstract: A method of directing participants during a social networking event includes the step of accessing a participant database that includes a plurality of records, each record including a participant identifier and associated participant attributes. A social networking instance is generated that links participant identifiers based on participant attributes, to define matched participants for meeting during the social networking event Meet up directions are sent to the matched participants.
