  • Publication number: 20240146820
    Abstract: A method includes assigning unique symbols to pages of a website, respectively. The method includes obtaining page symbol sequences of browsing sessions, respectively. Each browsing session corresponds to a visitor of the website. For each browsing session, the page symbol sequence of the browsing session is a sequence of symbols that corresponds, respectively, to a sequence of pages of the website visited during the browsing session by the corresponding visitor. The method includes generating a master string including the page symbol sequences, generating a suffix array corresponding to the master string, and generating a longest common prefix (LCP) array corresponding to the suffix array. The method includes, based on the suffix array and LCP array, determining one or more most common n-step subsequences of pages (n is an integer greater than 1).

  • Publication number: 20240112209
    Abstract: Systems and methods for model evaluation. A protected class model that satisfies an accuracy threshold is built by using: data sets for use by a modeling system being evaluated, and protected class membership information for each data set. A target for the protected class model is a protected class membership variable indicating membership in a protected class. Each predictor of the protected class model is a predictor of an evaluated model used by the modeling system. A target of the evaluated model is different from the target of the protected class model. Each predictor is a set of one or more variables of the data sets. For each predictor of the protected class model, a protected class model impact ranking value and a modeling system impact ranking value are determined.

  • Publication number: 20240102817
    Abstract: A system for road accident avoidance receives sensor data from computing devices associated with vehicles traveling on a road. The system communicates the sensor data to a blockchain network as blockchain records. The system determines that the sensor data includes an indication of a road accident. The system determines a location of the road accident from the sensor data. The system communicates, to the blockchain ledger, data that indicates the location of the road accident. The system identifies one or more vehicles within a threshold distance of the road accident that are traveling toward the road accident. The system communicates an alert signal that comprises the location of the road accident to each vehicle. The system determines a routing recommendation for each vehicle based on the location of the vehicle and the location of the road accident. The system communicates the routing recommendation to the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240106888
    Abstract: A system of orchestrating a peer-to-peer network of vehicles for data transmission comprises a peer-to-peer (p2p) network orchestrator device and a first computing device associated with a vehicle. The p2p network orchestrator device receives vehicle data that includes locations and wireless fidelity (WiFi) capability indicators of vehicles. The p2p network orchestrator device generates a security token for each vehicle. The p2p network orchestrator device establishes a blockchain ledger that includes the vehicle data and the security tokens. The first computing device receives a copy of the blockchain ledger. The first computing device receives, from a second computing device, a request to forward a data packet to a base station, the request includes a security token of a second vehicle. The first computing device determines that the security token is valid. In response, the first computing device accepts the data packet and forwards it to the base station.

  • Publication number: 20240070487
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and processing modeling workflows are disclosed. In some examples, a reference distribution of scores generated by a model is determined. The reference distribution of scores is recorded in a structured database. One or more unexpected scores are detected during execution of the model. To detect the one or more unexpected scores, a production distribution of scores is compared with the reference distribution of scores recorded in the structured database. The production distribution of scores is generated by the model for a production input data set. An alert is then provided to an external system, when an alert condition is determined to be satisfied based on the comparison. The alert indicates detection of the one or more unexpected scores.

  • Patent number: 11361354
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for efficiently upgrading product information stored on a client device to the latest version that reflects the current products offered by a particular establishment. Product information changes frequently, which could result in large upgrade packages. Yet, the time available for downloading the packages onto a device may be severely limited. To improve download time, upgrade packages may be shard based on product commonality within different predefined scopes. For instance, information related to products common across chain-wide establishments may be upgraded using one set of upgrade packages, and information related to products common across region-wide establishments may be upgraded using another set. This upgrade framework helps reduce file size and leverage the edge-caching capabilities of content delivery networks to reduce the time needed to transmit upgrade packages to client devices.
