  • Publication number: 20230222597
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for predictive and prescriptive analytics for managing high-cost claimants. The mechanism trains a machine learning model using the set of de-identified claims data to predict high-cost claimants using the training data. The mechanism applies transfer learning by retraining the machine learning model using a first set of customized client data to generate a client-specific machine learning model. The mechanism then applies the client-specific machine learning model to a second set of customized client data to identify a set of predicted high-cost claimants within the second set of customized client data. The mechanism generates association rules for determining recommendations for preventing the set of predicted high-cost claimants from becoming high-cost claimants and applies the association rules to the second set of customized client data to generate a set of recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20230159328
    Abstract: A residue stream comprising liquid hydrocarbons and metal-rich solid particles is reacted with an oxidant stream in a gasifier to produce a syngas stream that is quenched in a water bath. The risk of plugging in the water lines is reduced by removing solids from the recycled water streams. Acid gases are stripped from at least a portion of the recycled water to reduce the risk of precipitates forming from the reaction of dissolved acid gases with metal ions.
