Patent number: 11748646Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory device communicatively coupled to the processor. The system also includes a database communicatively coupled to the processor. The database is configured to store a first plurality of prediction sets. Each prediction set is associated with a respective individual within a first population. Each prediction set comprises a plurality of prediction results, and each prediction result corresponds to a selected one of a plurality of features. The processor is configured to receive a request for a distribution value associated with a selected feature and one or more parameters. The distribution value indicate how often the selected feature appears in a second population of individuals, the second population being defined by the one or more parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Zoomph, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Mathew, John William Seaman, Jorge Luis Vasquez, Reza Ali Manouchehri, Lee Evan Kohn

Patent number: 11257000Abstract: An individual having a plurality of first features and a second characteristic is identified. A plurality of second features associated with a second characteristic is determined. For each first feature among the plurality of first features, a respective probability distribution indicating, for each respective second feature, a probability that a person having the respective second feature has the first feature, is determined, thereby generating a plurality of probability distributions. A probabilistic classifier is used to combine the plurality of probability distributions, thereby generating a merged probability distribution. A Monte Carlo method is used to generate a prediction set based on the merged probability distribution, the prediction set including a plurality of prediction values for the second characteristic of the individual, each respective prediction value being associated with one of the plurality of second features. The prediction set is stored in a memory.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2018Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Zoomph, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Mathew, John William Seaman, Ali Reza Manouchehri, Jorge Luis Vasquez, Lee Evan Kohn

Publication number: 20180365607Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed systems and methods that include the actions of receiving sensor data from a sensor configured to monitor a resource and analyzing the sensor data to identify one or more determined activities of the resource. A determined activity is selected, based on criteria, for a collection of additional information, and a query is generated for the collection of the additional information to reduce an error potential of the determined activity. The query is transmitted and results are received. Based on the results, the determined activity is updated, then stored with a timestamp as an activity data object in an activity data store. A record is generated that comprises the determined activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2017Publication date: December 20, 2018Applicant: MetroStar Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ali Reza Manouchehri, Jorge Luis VASQUEZ
