  • Patent number: 11822603
    Abstract: Systems and methods for modeling higher-level metrics from graph data derived from already-collected but not yet connected data are disclosed. A method includes extracting a first set of actor-related data, a second set of object-related data, and a third set of temporal data from the set of the already-collected but not yet connected data representative of a unit-level contribution to the target activity. The method further includes generating graph data for a graph using the set of the already-collected but not yet connected data, where each of the plurality of nodes of the graph corresponds to the actor or the object, and where an attribute associated with each of the plurality of edges of the graph corresponds to a measurement associated with the target activity. The method further includes modeling a relationship between graph attributes associated with the graph data and a higher-level metric associated with the target activity.

  • Patent number: 11709855
    Abstract: Systems and methods for graph embedding already-collected but not yet connected data are disclosed. A method includes extracting a first set of actor-related data, a second set of object-related data, and a third set of temporal data from a set of the already-collected but not yet connected data representative of a unit-level contribution to the target activity. The method further includes generating graph data for at least one graph having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges using the set of the already-collected but not yet connected data, where each of the plurality of nodes corresponds to the actor or the object, and where an attribute associated with each of the plurality of edges corresponds to a measurement associated with the target activity during a temporal dimension of interest. The method further includes converting the graph data into metric space data using a graph embedding process.
