Abstract: A classifier is trained to classify business supplier relationships using synthetic training data samples. Real training data samples are collected and transformed into sample encodings using an encoder. The real training data samples include feature data associated with health class indicators indicative of relationships between suppliers and service providers. A set of synthetic training data samples is generated from the sample encodings using a generator and discrimination feedback data is generated using a discriminator based on the real training data samples and the synthetic training data samples. The discrimination feedback data is used to train the generator. A classifier model is trained to classify suppliers with health class indicators using the set of synthetic training data samples. The use of the encoder, generator, and discriminator enables the generation of accurate synthetic training data that represents the source distribution of real data which are often partially observed.

Abstract: A method for optimizing invoice payments according to supplier and buyer controls includes: receiving one or more received data message including invoice data, a buyer identification value, a supplier identification value, and a plurality of buyer optimization priorities, wherein the invoice data is associated with an invoice and includes an invoice amount and due date; identifying a plurality of supplier controls associated with the supplier identification value; identifying one or more buyer preferences associated with the buyer identification value; determining an optimal payment schedule for one or more payment transactions for the invoice based on the invoice data, the buyer optimization priorities, the plurality of supplier controls, and the one or more buyer preferences; transmitting a transmitted data message including the determined optimal payment schedule.

Abstract: Described is an intravenous line housing defining an intravenous line guide. The intravenous line guide is configured to hold the intravenous line and direct the intravenous line along a path. Also provided is an apparatus comprising the intravenous housing and a securing means to secure the intravenous line housing to the patient.

Abstract: Described is an apparatus for supporting an intravenous line. The apparatus includes an intravenous line housing defining an intravenous line guide. The intravenous line guide is configured to hold the intravenous line and direct the intravenous line along a reversing path and to a substantially proximally-directed entry angle for entry into a dorsal surface of a user's hand. The apparatus further includes a glove that is secured to the intravenous line housing, where the glove is configured to hold the intravenous line housing to the user's hand.
