  • Patent number: 11775996
    Abstract: Systems and methods for features engineering, in which internal and external signals are received and fused. The fusing is based on meta-data of each of the one or more internal signals and each of the one or more external signals. A set of features is generated based on one or more valid combinations that match a transformation input, the transformation forming part of library of transformations. Finally, a set of one or more features is selected from the plurality of features, based on a predictive strength of each feature. The set of selected features can be used to train and select a machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20230289721
    Abstract: Systems and methods in which a historical data set is pre-processed once per trained machine-learning model; a value of an unknown sample is forecast while tracking a leaf path of the unknown sample; the leaf path of the unknown sample is limited to a subset of trees in each trained-machine model; a set of related historical samples is determined based on the leaf path of the unknown sample, and a set of quantiles is determined from the leaf path of the unknown sample. Inventory is loaded according to the set of quantiles.

  • Publication number: 20230186152
    Abstract: Systems and methods that extract features from a set of optimization problems, and compile performance characteristics of optimization algorithms that are applied to each optimization problem. Machine learning models are trained on a first portion of a dataset that comprises the features and performance characteristics. A model is selected based on performance on a second portion of the dataset. The selected model is applied to features of a new optimization problem to provide performance characteristics of each optimization algorithm, which can then be ranked based on the respective performance characteristics. Either the first-ranked optimization algorithm can be applied to the new optimization problem, or successively-ranked optimization algorithms can be executive iteratively.

  • Publication number: 20230095571
    Abstract: Methods and systems that allow for supply chain logic to be instrumented in such a way that a supply planner can see the major factors driving KPIs, as well as drill down to the lower level to see the impact of each item at the smallest possible level.
