  • Patent number: 10599679
    Abstract: Techniques are described for aggregating data generated by multiple platforms of different types. A particular user (e.g., end-user) may interact with multiple individual (e.g., siloed) platforms of different types and/or that support different business purposes or industries. The individual platforms may generate data describing and/or resulting from these interactions. The data may be received, ingested, and processed by a super-platform. The super-platform may generate aggregate data by aggregating the data received from different individual platforms. Data aggregation may be performed on data that is generated by different individual platforms and that is associated with a particular user or multiple users. Aggregation may also be performed on data that is independent of any particular user, such as sensor data that describes an environment in proximity to the platform.

  • Patent number: 10600067
    Abstract: Techniques are described for iteratively adjusting data processing decision results in accordance with rules. In some implementations, the applied rules may be data ethics rules associated with particular demographic groups, such as users in a particular geographic location, users in a particular age range, and so forth. The rules may describe the manner in which data, such as data that describes or identifies individuals, is collected, stored, analyzed, applied, manipulated, and/or destroyed. The various stages of data handling may be described as a data supply chain, and a set of rules may apply to the handling of data at one or more stages of the data supply chain. The rules may enforce data privacy considerations and/or other types of constraints on data handling.

  • Patent number: 10509806
    Abstract: Techniques are described for receiving data generated by multiple platforms of different types, and determining recommendations for end-user(s) of the multiple platforms based on an analysis of the received data. An end-user may interact with multiple individual platforms of different types. The individual platforms may generate data describing, and/or resulting from, such interactions. The data may be received, ingested, stored, analyzed, and/or otherwise processed by a super-platform. The data may be aggregated and the data and/or aggregate data may be analyzed by a recommendation engine executing on the super-platform to determine one or more recommendations for a particular end-user based on an analysis of the data and/or aggregate data associated with that end-user. Such recommendation(s) may be provided to the end-user through an end-user interface and/or search engine provided by the super-platform, or through a third-party entity.

  • Patent number: 10346782
    Abstract: Techniques are described for adaptive and augmented decision making by an artificial intelligence (AI) engine, such as an engine that employs machine learning techniques. A decision-making process may be executed to make a decision regarding operations of the organization, and the AI engine may be employed to analyze the various aspects of a decision and determine a risk level associated with the decision. The risk level may be a combination of the probability of a negative outcome and a magnitude of loss that may occur due to a negative outcome. The automated process may also determine a confidence level that indicates a degree of confidence in the determined risk level. Risk and confidence may be independent values. Implementations may enable risk mitigation by providing a risk estimate with higher confidence than traditional methods.

  • Patent number: 9928290
    Abstract: Techniques are described for determining and employing trust metrics for entities interacting with a super-platform. An end-user may interact with multiple individual platforms of different types. The individual platforms may generate data based on the interactions with end-user(s). The data from the various individual platforms may be received, ingested, stored, analyzed, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed by a super-platform. The super-platform may provide the data, aggregate data, and/or data analysis results to data consumer(s) through a marketplace associated with the super-platform. In some implementations, entities such as data providers, data manipulators, and/or data consumers may rate one another and, based on the rating(s), a trust metric may be determined that indicates a trust level of an entity.

  • Publication number: 20170053131
    Abstract: Techniques are described for receiving data generated by multiple platforms of different types, and managing the data in multiple stages of a data lifecycle associated with a super-platform. An end-user (e.g., data discloser) may interact with multiple individual (e.g., siloed) platforms of different types. The individual platforms may generate data describing, and/or resulting from, these interactions with end-user(s). The data from the various individual platforms may be received, ingested, stored, analyzed, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed by a super-platform during various stages of a data lifecycle. In some implementations, the end-user, the super-platform, and/or the individual platform(s) may provide one or more restrictions on how the data may be handled in each of the stages of the data lifecycle.

  • Publication number: 20170053295
    Abstract: Techniques are described for receiving data generated by multiple platforms of different types, and providing the data, aggregate data, and/or data analysis results to data consumer(s) through a marketplace associated with a super-platform. The data from various individual platforms may be received, ingested, stored, analyzed, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed by a super-platform. A data consumer may interact with a marketplace that is a component of, or in communication with, the super-platform. The data consumer may request one or more data set(s), and the marketplace may assemble and provide the data set(s) in response to the request. In some examples, the data consumer may request an insight or answer provided by an analysis job that analyzes the data collected from the individual platforms. The analysis job may be executed on the super-platform a device of the data consumer, and analysis results may be provided to the data consumer.
