Patent number: 11664097Abstract: Hospital readmissions may be prevented. Readmission is prevented by predicting the probability of a given patient to be readmitted. The probability alone may prevent readmission by educating the patient or medical professional. The probability may be predicted during a patient stay and used to generate a workflow action item to reduce the probability, to warn, to output appropriate instructions, and/or assist in avoiding readmission. The probability may be specific to a hospital, physician group, or other entity, allowing prevention to focus on past readmission causes for the given entity.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: CERNER INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Faisal Farooq, Balaji Krishnapuram, Bharat R.

Patent number: 11556864Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for scheduling user notifications to maximize short-term and long-term benefits from sending the notifications. One method includes an operation for identifying features of a state used for reinforcement learning. The state is associated with an action to decide if a notification to a user is to be sent and a reward for sending the notification to the user. Further, the method includes capturing user responses to notifications sent to users to obtain training data and training a machine-learning (ML) algorithm with reinforcement learning based on the features and the training data to obtain an ML model. Additionally, the method includes receiving a request to send a notification to the user, and deciding, by the ML model, whether to send the notification based on a current state. The notification is sent to the user based on the decision.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2019Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yiping Yuan, Ajith Muralidharan, Shaunak Chatterjee, Preetam Nandy, Shipeng Yu, Miao Cheng

Publication number: 20210406838Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer system generates a recommendation for a user of an online service based on user actions that have been performed by the user within a threshold amount of time before the generation of the recommendation. For each user action, the computer system determines an intent classification that identifies an activity of the user and that corresponds to different types of user actions, as well as a preference classification that identifies a target of the activity, and then stores these intent and preference classifications as part of indications of the user actions for use in generating different types of recommendations using different types of recommendation models. Additionally, the computer system may use mini-batches of data from an incoming stream of logged data to train an incremental update to one or more recommendation models.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2020Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Rohan Ramanath, Konstantin Salomatin, Jeffrey Douglas Gee, Onkar Anant Dalal, Gungor Polatkan, Sara Smoot Gerrard, Deepak Kumar, Rupesh Gupta, Jiaqi Ge, Lingjie Weng, Shipeng Yu

Publication number: 20200005354Abstract: Machine learning techniques for multi-objective content item selection are provided. In one technique, resource allocation data is stored that indicates, for each campaign of multiple campaigns, a resource allocation amount that is assigned by a central authority. In response to receiving the content request, a subset of the campaigns is identified based on targeting criteria. Multiple scores are generated, each score reflecting a likelihood that a content item of the corresponding campaign will be selected. Based on the scores, a particular campaign from the subset is selected and the corresponding content item transmitted over a computer network to be displayed on a computing device. A resource allocation amount that is associated with the particular campaign is identified. A resource reduction amount associated with displaying the content item of the particular campaign is determined. The particular resource allocation is reduced based on the resource reduction amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2018Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Rupesh Gupta, Guangde Chen, Curtis Chung-Yen Wang, Deepak K.

Patent number: 10440144Abstract: A notification platform for distribution of notification content in an on-line social network system, on-line and in near real time, is described. As a new notification is detected in the continuous stream of notifications triggered by time-sensitive events, the near real time notifications distribution system determines member profiles representing potential recipients of the notification by traversing a relationship graph. The relationship graph has nodes representing member profiles, as well as other entities maintained in the on-line social network system. The edges of the relationship graph represent relationships between entities represented by the associated nodes. For each member profile representing a potential recipient of the notification, the near real time notifications distribution system generates a relevance score, which is used to determine whether the notification is to be delivered to the potential recipient.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pingjie Xiao, Shaunak Chatterjee, Shipeng Yu, Ankit Gupta, Swapnil Ghike, Vivek Nelamangala, Banu Muthukumar, Curtis Wang, Parinkumar Shah, Eric Brownrout, Changji Shi
