  • Publication number: 20250028840
    Abstract: According to a present invention embodiment, software is analyzed for security vulnerabilities. Information from a security scan of code is analyzed to identify a security issue pertaining to a code portion. A machine learning model determines an initial risk factor score for the security issue based on a history of information pertaining to one or more prior security scans. The initial risk factor score is refined to produce an overall risk factor score for the security issue based on a confidence of the initial risk factor score. The initial risk factor score is refined based on one or more risk factor scores for operations within the code applied to a variable of the code portion. A classification of the security issue is determined as one of a valid security issue and a false positive based on the overall risk factor score.

  • Publication number: 20240311881
    Abstract: A system can assign respective first elements of a first application programming interface (API) to respective first objects in a graph representation, wherein the respective objects correspond to respective syntactic representations of the first API. The system can determine that an action, taken with respect to a user account, has invoked a second API via an API call, wherein respective second elements of the second API are assigned to respective second objects in the graph representation. The system can determine that the first API satisfies a first similarity criterion with respect to the second API. The system can determine that the first API is superior to the second API according to a second criterion. The system can send, for access via the user account, an indication of the second API.

  • Publication number: 20240211830
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing customer-encountered issues are disclosed. To manage the customer-encountered issues, cognitive loads likely to be imposed on service agents for resolving the customer-encountered issues may be estimated. The cognitive load estimates may be used to identify service agents likely to be able to shoulder the cognitive loads for resolving the customer-encountered issues thereby reducing the likelihood of occurrence of resolution attempt failures. Consequently, the average time to resolve customer-encountered issues may be reduced through reduced likelihood of escalation of the customer-encountered issues.

  • Publication number: 20240211829
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing customer-encountered issues are disclosed. To manage the customer-encountered issues, skill levels of service agents assignable to resolve the issues and skills likely to be needed to resolve the issues may be identified to reduce time to resolution. Service agents having levels of skills commensurate with the level of skill likely to be required to resolve the issues may be assigned to resolve the issues. Rather than rigidly defining the skills, the skills may be defined through taxonomic analysis of descriptions of the customer-encountered issues. The taxonomic analysis may be used to identify groupings of previously resolved customer-encountered issues. Each grouping may be treated as requiring a separate skill to resolve the customer-encountered issues that are members of the grouping.

  • Publication number: 20240211963
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing customer-encountered issues are disclosed. To manage the customer-encountered issues, a multiphase optimization process may be implemented to select a service agent to resolve each customer-encountered issue. The multiphase analysis may include a process of identifying service agents qualified to attempt to resolve each customer-encountered issue. The multiphase optimization may also include a process of ranking the qualified service agents based on their past performance and experience. The multiphase optimization may also include a process for estimating the likelihood of each of the qualified service agents resolving each customer-encountered issue within prescribed goals.

  • Publication number: 20240211831
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing customer-encountered issues are disclosed. To manage the customer-encountered issues, a ranking process and multifactor selection process may be implemented to select a service agent to resolve each customer-encountered issue. The rankings ascribed to be service agents may be based on the proficiency levels of the service agents to resolve customer-encountered issues. The proficiency levels may be based on quantifiable information, and may be obtained using an automated process. During selection, the rankings and factors such as current workload may be taken into account to improve the likelihood that goals for working the customer-encountered issues are more likely to be met.

  • Patent number: 11886523
    Abstract: Techniques for training and/or using a machine learning (ML) algorithm to generate search results are disclosed. An ML algorithm is configured (i) to identify a search starting event and a search terminating event for a search session, where the search session includes multiple navigations across multiple different webpages, and (ii) to derive a dynamic score for the search session, where the dynamic score reflects whether the search session successfully identified an end result that was initially unknown at a time when the search starting event occurred. The trained ML algorithm can then be used during later search sessions to promote better search results and help users identify end targets or results in a faster and more intuitive manner.

  • Patent number: 11750479
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing customer encountered issue resolution are disclosed. To manage the customer encountered issue resolution, tickets for the customer encountered issues may be managed to reduce suffering and reduce the rate of ticket churn. To do so, customer pain levels may be identified and used to prioritize resource deployment for ticket resolution. The tickets may be classified into groups for resolution via automated or human-assisted processes, which may be limited in capacity. To ascertain the pain levels of the customers, communications from the customers may be emotionally analyzed to identify emotions present in the customers. The identified emotions may be used to identify whether performed remediation processes for resolving the customer encountered issues were successful, and to what extent they were successful.
