Publication number: 20200175453Abstract: Described herein are techniques for generating for each company in a set of companies a rating score that represents the desirability of employment with the company. The rating score for each company is derived by analyzing the member profiles of members of an online system to identify employee transitions between companies over certain time periods. At the beginning of a first time period, each company is assigned a baseline score. Each transition represents an employee departure (loss), for one company, and an employee hire (win), for the other company. With each transition by an employee to/from a company, the rating score of the impacted companies are adjusted—increased for a win, decreased for a loss—in some proportion that is relative to the current rating scores of the impacted companies. Accordingly, company A hires an employee from Company B, the rating scores of companies A and. B will impact the level of the adjustment that is made to their respective rating scores as a result of the transition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2018Publication date: June 4, 2020Inventors: Sebastian Predescu, Blake Henderson, Michael Booz, Juanyan Li, Joseph Kelly, Michael Jennings

Patent number: 10657519Abstract: A device may perform a first authentication operation, associated with a contactless media device, using a first key. The first key may permit a security mode of the contactless media device to be modified. The device may cause the contactless media device to set the security mode to a first security mode that causes the contactless media device to secure at least one transmission from the contactless media device. The device may perform a second authentication operation, associated with the contactless media device, using a second key that permits information to be read from or written to the contactless media device. The device may read first secured information from or write second secured information to the contactless media device. The first secured information or the second secured information may be secured based on the security mode of the contactless media device being set to the first security mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Avishek Somani, Sunil Raina, Michael Jennings

Publication number: 20200005204Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for determining the employment type of online-service members and the generation of employment reports. One method includes training a machine learning program (MLP) for categorizing employment type, for title and company, as field or full-time-corporate. The full-time-corporate category is for full-time corporate employees. For each employee title in a first company, the method includes accessing data for members of an online service having the title and employed by the first company, and determining, by the trained MLP, the employment type for the title and the first company based on the accessed data. Further, the method includes operations for providing a user interface for generating an employment report for the first company, the user interface including one or more options for filtering data based on the employment type, and for presenting the employment report on the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2018Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Hitesh Kumar, Michael Jennings, Xin Xia, David Golland, Daniel Francis, Ted Tomlinson
