  • Patent number: 11875368
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for proactively predicting demand based on sparse transaction data. One example method includes receiving a request to predict transaction quantities for a plurality of transaction entities for a future time period. Historical transaction data for the transaction entities is identified for a plurality of categories of transacted items. The plurality of categories are organized using a hierarchy of levels. Multiple levels of the hierarchy are iterated over starting at a lowest level. For each current level in the iteration, features to include in a quantity forecasting model for the current level are identified. The quantity forecasting model is trained using the identified features. Predicted transaction dates are predicted for the current level by a transaction date prediction model. The quantity forecasting model is used to generate predicted quantity information for the current level for the predicted transaction dates.

Historical transaction data for the transaction entities is identified for a plurality of categories of transacted items. The plurality of categories are organized using a hierarchy of levels. Multiple levels of the hierarchy are iterated over, starting at a lowest level. For each current level in the iteration, a plurality of transaction date prediction models are trained and tested. Heuristics for the plurality of trained transaction date prediction models are compared to determine a most accurate transaction date prediction model. The most accurate transaction date prediction model is used to make a prediction of transaction dates for the current level for the future time period.

  • Patent number: 10955161
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a weather forecast corresponding to a location of an air handling unit for a building, generating a foot traffic forecast for a specified time period in the building, and generating a predicted energy consumption curve based on the weather forecast and generated foot traffic forecast for the specified time period. Based on the predicted energy consumption curve, the systems and methods further provide for generating settings for controllable energy devices of the air handling unit to control the air handling unit for the specified time period.

  • Patent number: 10235430
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for activity pattern detection are described herein. Embodiments may process large amounts of data from a plurality of different database sources in order to detect events common to the data of the different database sources. Embodiments further perform data mining operations to detect patterns (e.g., two or more events appearing consecutively or non-consecutively), and present these patterns in a graphical user interface (GUI) to illustrate how a plurality of patterns may comprise a business scenario.
