  • Publication number: 20240294268
    Abstract: Innovative peripheral bar assembly for a transportation vehicle is provided. One method includes transmitting, by a processor of a seat device of an aircraft coupled to a peripheral bar assembly having a plurality of programmable light sources, one or more commands to the peripheral bar assembly to operate one or more of the light sources; and operating, by the peripheral bar assembly, the one or more light sources, in response to the one or more commands to indicate non-verbal communication associated with the aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20240220825
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for specifying a predictive goal that describes an action that a customer of an organization may take or a behavior that a customer of the organization may exhibit. A training engine receives the predictive goal from a user via a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The user specifies the predictive goal by entering one or more customizable logical or comparative statements. A training engine divides historical data into training data and testing data, selects useful and relevant features from the historical data as inputs to a machine learning model, and trains the machine learning model. The training engine transmits the trained machine learning model to an inference engine that generates, for each customer in a historical data set, a probability that the customer will satisfy the predictive goal within a specified time frame. The disclosed techniques further generate explanatory data associated with the trained machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20240220861
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating explanatory data for predictions generated by a machine learning model. An explanatory engine receives a trained machine learning model and a plurality of predictions generated by the machine learning model. The explanatory engine calculates a predictive strength for the trained machine learning model based on the plurality of predictions. The explanatory engine further determines one or more features having at least a threshold influence on the plurality of predictions and displays, via a graphical user interface, one or more of the influential features and an indication of the predictive strength of the trained model.

  • Patent number: 12012222
    Abstract: Innovative peripheral bar assembly for a transportation vehicle is provided. One method includes retrieving, by a processor of a seat device of an aircraft coupled to a removable, peripheral bar assembly having a plurality of programmable, light emitting diodes (LEDs), configuration information to operate the LEDs; transmitting, by the processor, one or more commands to the peripheral bar assembly to operate one or more of the LEDs; and operating, by the peripheral bar assembly, the one or more LEDs, in response to the one or more commands to indicate non-verbal communication based on one or more pre-defined communication protocols indicating a seat-by-seat status.
