  • Patent number: 11704725
    Abstract: A method for evaluating bids for the purchase of inventory items to optimize bid-generated revenue. The method comprises receiving a bid for an inventory item, the bid comprising a bid price, a specific inventory item that is to be purchased, and a number of inventory items to be purchased. The bid is input into a machine learning algorithm as are features associated with the inventory item and information associated with the bid. The machine learning algorithm analyzes the bid and generates an output to accept or decline the bid. Responsive to that output the bidder is advised whether the bid was accepted or declined.

  • Publication number: 20220122138
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for real time onboarding using identifier pooling are described. The method may include receiving, from a merchant system, a transaction request using a merchant system identifier and merchant system authentication credentials associated with the merchant identifier, the transaction request specifying a payments partner system to process at least a part of the transaction. The method may also include determining whether the merchant system is onboarded for use of the payments platform system. When the merchant system is determined not to be onboarded for use of the payments platform system, the method may also include selecting a commerce platform system payments partner identifier from a pool of available commerce platform system payment partner identifiers provisioned by the payments partner system for the commerce platform system, and updating a merchant accounts data store by associating the selected commerce platform system payments partner identifier with the merchant identifier.

  • Patent number: 11232255
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that collect and analyze annotation performance data to generate digital annotations for evaluating and training automatic electronic document annotation models. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems provide electronic documents to annotators based on annotator topic preferences. The disclosed systems then identify digital annotations and annotation performance data such as a time period spent by an annotator in generating digital annotations and annotator responses to digital annotation questions. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize the identified digital annotations and the annotation performance data to generate a final set of reliable digital annotations. Additionally, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems provide the final set of digital annotations for utilization in training a machine learning model to generate annotations for electronic documents.

  • Patent number: 10922726
    Abstract: Intelligent vehicle repair estimating techniques include an image processing component that extracts image attributes from one or more images of a damaged vehicle, and utilizes the attributes to predict an initial set of parts that are globally-identified. Based on a jurisdiction associated with the damaged vehicle, the initial set of parts is transformed into a set of jurisdictionally-based repairs (e.g., parts, labor operations, time intervals, costs, etc.), which may be included in a draft vehicle repair estimate. An estimate refinement component iteratively modifies/refines the draft estimate using a machine-only loop nested within a larger human-machine loop, where system-generated modifications are incrementally incorporated into the draft within the smaller loop, and user-generated modifications are incrementally incorporated into the draft within the larger loop.

  • Patent number: 10895490
    Abstract: A reservoir assembly comprising a lower manifold, an upper manifold, a reservoir body, a float member and a sensor system. The upper manifold has an upper cover placed over a central bore, and sealingly engaged therewith, the upper cover being at least partially transparent. The reservoir body has a lower end sealingly engaged with the lower manifold and the upper end sealingly engaged with the upper manifold. The float member is positioned within the reservoir and can slidably move between the upper and lower manifolds. The float member has an upper target that is substantially parallel to an upper cover positioned on the upper manifold. The sensor system has a float position sensor positioned over the upper cover and targeting the upper target of the float member to, in turn, determine the position of the float member relative to the float position sensor.

  • Patent number: 10319035
    Abstract: A vehicle image capture and labeling system operates to enable a user to capture vehicle photos, pictures, and/or images that are automatically labeled, i.e., annotated. In particular, the captured vehicle photos, pictures, or images are automatically labeled with certain vehicle identifier information, like a vehicle identification number (VIN), and pose information, that identifies a portion or view of the vehicle depicted within the image of the vehicle. The vehicle images may also be automatically labeled with one or more other image attributes or indicia, such as geospatial information corresponding to a location at which the photo or image was captured (e.g., global positioning system (GPS) data), time and date of image capture data, etc. The captured vehicle image and its label(s) may then be stored and used by other applications such as vehicle insurance claim applications, automobile repair estimate applications, etc.
