Publication number: 20200111054Abstract: Techniques for automated auditing claims are presented. A policy processor component can determine conditions and constraints relating to claim validity, based on a result of an analysis of policy data of a set of policies associated with a service identity and relating to services and procedures, to facilitate generation of probabilistic logic data relating to the conditions and constraints relating to the claim validity. The policy processor component can encode the conditions and the constraints to generate the probabilistic logic data, and store the probabilistic logic data and information relating to the conditions and constraints in a knowledge database component. A claim management component can determine a validity status of a claim and a probability that the validity status is correct based on evaluation of the probabilistic logic data and claim data relating to the claim. The validity status can be valid or invalid.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2018Publication date: April 9, 2020Inventors: Radu Marinescu, Akihiro Kishimoto, Spyros Kotoulas, Vanessa Lopez Garcia

Patent number: 10248701Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method wherein a database query including a first constraint and additional constraint(s) are received in a first node. Data in the first node that satisfies the first constraint is identified, encoded, and sent to a second node. Encoded data is identified in a mapping table in the second node; and, one or more missing identifiers are identified that include encoded data that is not in the mapping table. The missing identifier is sent to the first node, decoded to retrieve the value of the missing identifier, and mapped to the retrieved value. The mapping of the missing identifier and the retrieved value are sent to the second node. A dictionary in the second node is queried with the retrieved value to identify an identification number for the retrieved value. The missing identifier is mapped to the identification number for the retrieved value.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Spyros Kotoulas, Marco L.
