  • Patent number: 12033367
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and processor. The memory stores document categories, text generated from an image a physical document page, and a machine learning algorithm. The machine learning algorithm is configured to extract features associated with natural language processing and features associated with the text. The machine learning algorithm is also configured to generate a feature vector that includes the first and second pluralities of features, and to generate, based on the feature vector, a set of probabilities, each of which is associated with a document category and indicates a probability that the physical document from which the text was generated belongs to that document category. The processor applies the machine learning algorithm to the text, to generate the set of probabilities, identifies a largest probability, and assigns the image to the associated document category.

  • Publication number: 20240075939
    Abstract: Raw sensor data from a device of a user is collected. The raw data does not include location data for the device. The data is preprocessed to identify driving trips in which the user had the device. The trip data is provided to machine-learning models (MLMs) as input and the MLMs provide as output predictions for each trip's estimated speeds, estimated number of hard brakes and a degree of each hard brake, and estimated degrees of distracted driving. A duration, time of day, and calendar date of each trip is identified. The predictions, duration, time of day, and calendar date are modified into four factor values. The four modified factor values are combined into an overall driver characteristic value and provided to a network service associated with the user for purposes of providing or modifying services provided to the user through the network service based on the overall characteristic value.
