Abstract: Prioritizing a work request pertaining to a physical asset can include generating a data structure that encodes the work request as a multidimensional representation indicating at least one classification, each at least one classification including at least one sub-category. In response to identifying multiple work requests encoded as multidimensional representations with respect to the physical asset, each multidimensional representation can be reduced to a one-dimensional (1-D) representation that preserves a variance factor of each sub-category of each multidimensional representation. Each 1-D structure can be input to a machine learning model trained to prioritize each of the work requests. The work requests can be prioritized in accordance with the machine learning model based on the 1-D structures. The priorities of each of the work requests can be output.

Abstract: Tasks are selected for hibernation by recording user preferences for tasks having no penalty for hibernation and sleep; and assigning thresholds for battery power at which tasks are selected for a least one of hibernation and sleep. The assigning of the thresholds for battery power include considering current usage of hardware resources by a user and battery health per battery segment. A penalty score is determined for tasks based upon the user preferences for tasks having no penalty, and task performance including at least one of frequency of utilization, memory utilization, task dependency characteristics and task memory hierarchy. The penalty performance is a value including both the user preference and the task performance. Tasks can then be put into at least one of hibernation mode and sleep mode dictated by their penalty performance during the thresholds for battery power.
