  • Publication number: 20250181571
    Abstract: Systems and methods receive, by a backend system and from a user device, input(s) indicating dataset(s) should be stored to storage location(s) of the backend system, and dynamically compare data of the dataset(s) to stored data of stored dataset(s), the comparing including applying the dataset(s) to a deployed predictive model that is trained to quantify a percentage of similarity between the dataset(s) and the stored dataset(s). Based on the applying, it is dynamically determined that the percentage of similarity of one dataset of the dataset(s) surpasses a predefined threshold percentage, and electronic notification(s) indicating the percentage of similarity between the one dataset and a stored dataset of the dataset(s) is transmitted to the user device based on the percentage of similarity surpassing the predefined threshold percentage.

  • Publication number: 20250181572
    Abstract: Systems and methods receive input(s) facilitating dataset management, the input(s) initiating a machine learning process configured to detect data redundancies of two or more datasets. Entity data stored to entity data storage location(s) are accessed and processed to conform with formatting requirements for the machine learning process. Validation is performed on the processed entity data, the validation ensuring the processed entity data satisfy the formatting requirements, where the validation produces training data that is inserted into an iterative training and testing loop.

  • Publication number: 20250181602
    Abstract: Systems and methods facilitate saving data storage through data storage management of storage location(s) by training, via an iterative training and testing loop, a predictive model using training data to detect data redundancies from two or more datasets stored to data storage location(s), the training includes testing the predictive model by predicting a target variable and iteratively adjusting weights and calculations during each subsequent iteration to improve predictability of the target variable, where the predictive model is trained to identify data similarities among the two or more datasets. Based on any error in predicting the target variable being less than a predetermined level, the predictive model is deployed and applied to at least two datasets to quantify a percentage of similarity among the at least two datasets. If it is determined the percentage of similarity surpasses a predefined threshold percentage, then an electronic notification is transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20250181592
    Abstract: Systems and methods perform data analysis on at least two separate datasets to identify any redundancies. The data analysis includes comparing first data values of a first dataset with second data values of a second dataset, the comparing including evaluating similarities of the first data values and second data values, identifying, from the comparing, that the first data values and the second data values include at least a portion of substantially similar data, and interpreting similarities of the portion of substantially similar data, the interpreting including determining that a dataset of the first dataset and second dataset is a subset of the other dataset. Further, control signal(s) are transmitted to a user device to initiate displaying, via a user interface of the user device, a prompt indicating that the at least one dataset is likely the subset of the other dataset.

  • Publication number: 20250165505
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for creating a governance graph representing data set interconnection. The data set interconnections may be based on common fields, sources, databases, applications, or patterns of usage. For example, the interconnections may be direct connections, where one data set is directly downstream from another data set. Alternatively, the interconnections may be indirect connections based patterns showing the data sets are commonly used together. For example, given data sets “A”, “B”, and “C”, if “B” is directly connected to “A” because it is downstream from “A”, and a particular group of users commonly use “B” and “C” together, “A” may be indirectly related to “C” based on the pattern of usage. In this example, the governance graph is configured to indicate the connection between “A” and “B” is stronger than the connection between “A” and “C”, whilst still showing said connection.

  • Publication number: 20250157300
    Abstract: A casino gaming system includes gaming machines which are configured to accept and read tickets. The ticket may comprise cash-value tickets or non-cash value/promotional tickets. The tickets may also include secondary feature triggering indicia. The player may present the cash-value ticket having a feature triggering indicia or a non-cash value/promotional ticket to a gaming machine, such as by inserting it into a media reader such as a bill acceptor. Associated monetary value or non-monetary credits may be credited to the machine. In addition, if the ticket includes a feature triggering indicia, when such an indicia is detected, the gaming machine preferably triggers or initiates the feature.

  • Patent number: 12125383
    Abstract: A video analytics based image verification system for obtaining initial vehicle profiles is presented. The system may include an external processing server that receives a location of a vehicle and proximate traffic information to determine whether it is safe for a user to obtain an initial vehicle profile. The external processing server may further determine first and second profile features from video data indicative of the vehicle. The external processing server may compare the second profile feature to an image verification indicator to generate an image verification score. A provider server may receive the first profile feature and the image verification score from the external processing server, and update a risk evaluation to include the initial vehicle profile if the image verification score is above an image verification threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240311759
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing documentation for assessing potential fraudulent user submissions are provided. According to certain aspects, a server computer may receive an initial set of documentation descriptive of damage to a property asset, and may analyze the initial set of documentation to determine whether additional documentation is needed. The server computer may initiate a communication channel with a user device via which the additional documentation may be submitted, and the server computer may similarly analyze the additional documentation to determine a likelihood of fraud. The server computer may process the user submission accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20240301523
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an example track pad having a ground-contacting portion for use in a track-based machine to propel and support the machine across a supporting surface. The track pad may be a track pad that forms a link of a chain forming the track for the track-based machine. The track pad includes a cast body formed of a first alloy steel having a first strength and toughness. The track pad includes a roll path that contacts a roller of the track-based machine. The roll path is hardened through an induction hardening process to achieve a hardness level at a depth of 32 millimeters or more from the surface of the roll path. The roll path is shaped and positioned to contact rollers of the track drive assembly and thereby reduce wear and fatigue on the track pad as a result of contact and force transferred through the roller.

  • Publication number: 20240296187
    Abstract: A method for automatically classifying datasets is implemented on a computing system. A dataset is received by the computing system from a source wherein the dataset includes a plurality of data entries. The method includes the steps of: providing a plurality of predetermined semantic types; processing the data entries to identify each of the data entries as one of the semantic types, the processing including examining the data entries using two different models; generating a confidence score for each of the models based upon the examination of the data entries; generating a confidence label based upon a predetermined combination of the confidence scores; and generating a classification recommendation for the dataset based upon the identified semantic types and associating the confidence label with the dataset.
