Abstract: A computerized-method for sensitive data redaction from screenshots, is provided herein. The computerized-method includes retrieving records of a sequence of screenshots from a database. Then, grouping the sequence-of-screenshots by one feature of one or more features to yield one or more groups. Each group includes screenshots having one common feature. Then, calculating a score for each pixel across all similar screenshots in each group. For each group of screenshots, blackening pixels in all screenshots having a score above a preconfigured threshold to yield data redacted screenshots. The score of each pixel above the preconfigured threshold indicates a high variance between screenshots in the group and a presence of sensitive data therein and then storing the data-redacted screenshots in a screenshots-database.

Abstract: A system to create new automation routines includes a processor to: Over time, store a group of actions taken by a group of agents within applications. From the stored group of actions, identify a repeating pattern of actions in a subset of the applications, and construct a binary vector, each position within the binary vector storing a 1 for an occurrence of any action within any application of the subset, and a 0 otherwise. From the binary vector and the repeating pattern, extract a sentence including at least one action within at least one application. Based on the repeating pattern, an application type, or a business goal, create a constraint. If the sentence meets the constraint, accept the sentence and add it to a pool of accepted sentences. From the pool of accepted sentences, identify a pattern of occurrences of the accepted sentence, and create a new automation routine.

Abstract: A system and method may identify computer-based processes which may be candidates for automation. Embodiments may involve a semi-supervised approach for identifying processes as automation opportunities. Transition probabilities for pairs of routines within a candidate process may be calculated based on a set of instances of the process (e.g., in a dataset of computer actions) using a dynamic time-window optimization procedure, where transition times may be measured for a plurality of instances of a first and second routines of a given pair of routines, and where statistical distributions may be calculated and used for deriving one or more time windows, describing a predetermined percentile (e.g., the 70th percentile) of the measured transitions and used for estimating a transition probability for the pair of routines. In some embodiments, the input set of transitions and routines may be generated by a user or business analyst using a graphical user interface (GUI).
