Patent number: 12019639Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for generating preference profiles that may be used to rank search results. In some examples, a computing device obtains browsing session data and determines items that were engaged, such as items that were viewed or clicked. The computing device obtains item property data, such as product descriptions, for the items, and applies a dependency parser to the item property data to identify portions that include certain words, such as nouns or adjectives, which are then identified as attributes. The computing device generates attribute data identifying portions of the item property data as item attributes. In some examples, the computing device applies one or more machine learning algorithms to the session data and/or search query to identify item attributes. The computing device may generate a profile that includes the item attributes, and may rank search results based on the attribute data, among other uses.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2023Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: Walmart Apollo, LLCInventors: Rahul Iyer, Soumya Wadhwa, Stephen Dean Guo, Kannan Achan

Patent number: 11164092Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for parallel time series analysis. One of the methods includes receiving a plurality of data elements. The plurality of data elements are partitioned into a plurality of chunks, wherein the plurality of chunks, including a first chunk and a plurality of additional chunks, have an ordering according to the data elements included in each chunk. Each chunk is assigned to a particular segment of a plurality of segments. A first iteration of an autoregressive integrated moving average is computed for each chunk assigned to each segment. A second iteration of the autoregressive integrated moving average is computed for each chunk assigned to each segment, wherein computing uses the result data for a corresponding preceding chunk in the first iteration. One or more additional iterations of the autoregressive integrated moving average are computed until stopping criteria has been satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Pivotal Software, Inc.Inventors: Hai Qian, Caleb E.
