  • Patent number: 11270384
    Abstract: A DI recovery management system generates a plurality of ranked claimant records and recovery scores. A predictive machine learning model inputs disability income claim data and disability income claimant data into an event history model utilizing discrete-time survival analysis in conjunction with a gradient boosting machine learning model. The claim termination event is one of a plurality of preselected recovery events that indicate that a claimant has achieved return to work capacity. Claimant data used in modeling includes diagnosis data representative of workplace disability duration guidelines. The predictive machine learning model is continually trained using updated disability income claims data. The training procedure transforms claimant records extracted from a DI claims database into a longitudinal format that includes multiple person-year records corresponding to each claimant record.

    Abstract: A new design strategy based upon finite state machine models is used to develop a policy administration system. The policy administration system comprises a plurality of finite state machined-based households, each of which is defined by a set of states represented by data that describe or relate to various policies associated with each household, a set of events represented by transactions that operate on the data, and/or a set of transition functions represented by transaction logics and/or product rules that govern how the transactions are processed. In this manner, each finite state machine-based household becomes a type of self-contained policy administration system that may be executed and managed concurrently. Each policy may be an insurance policy, such as an auto, home, life, renters, personal articles, or health insurance policy. Each finite state machine-based or virtual household may facilitate managing, updating, or generating insurance policies for the household and/or household members.

  • Patent number: 11216816
    Abstract: Identification of anomalous transaction attributes in real-time with adaptive threshold tuning is provided. A set of historical transactions conducted during a defined time period are analyzed and categorizing into defined groups. Outlier transactions are identified and removed from the set of historical transactions and a set of non-anomalous transactions are determined. When a new transaction is received, the new transaction is automatically allowed based on a determination that the subsequent transaction conforms to the set of non-anomalous transactions. Alternatively, an alert for further analysis for the new transaction is output based on a determination that the subsequent transaction does not conform to the set of non-anomalous transactions.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing automated methods of inspections that facilitate loss reporting and resolution are described. In some embodiments various remote evaluation tools are provided to collect information from remote locations. This information can be used to generate automated damage estimates which in turn can be used to direct the ordering of supplies, materials, and other resources. In addition, pre-damage and post-damage evaluations of an insured property may be collected using the remote evaluation tools. These evaluations can be used by adjusters (human adjusters and computer-based adjusters) to identify damage and process claims more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 11195233
    Abstract: A driving accident simulation, having a head-wearable user interface (e.g., a head-worn virtual-reality display), may be used to inform a driver of the driver's potential liability under different insurance options. The simulation may determine damages caused by the simulated accident, and identify multiple insurance options and the resulting user liability under each option. The simulation may also be used to assess an insurance adjuster's ability to estimate damages from an accident, by receiving the adjuster's estimate and comparing it to the simulation's own estimate of damages. In some embodiments, the simulation may present a driver with a simulated view from a point of view of another party to the simulated accident.

  • Patent number: 11192560
    Abstract: Described are techniques for fair anomaly detection. The techniques include generating an anomaly detection model based on a Gaussian distribution of historical data, a mean vector of the Gaussian distribution, and a precision matrix of the Gaussian distribution. The mean vector and the precision matrix can be generated by reducing a function below a threshold, where the function can include the Gaussian distribution, a first regularization term configured to generate similar anomaly scores for inputs with similar fair features and independent of unfair features, and a second regularization term configured to generate similar anomaly localization scores for the inputs with the similar fair features and independent of the unfair features. The techniques further include inputting a new data to the anomaly detection model and generating an anomaly score and an anomaly localization score associated with the new data based on the Gaussian distribution, the mean vector, and the precision matrix.

  • Patent number: 11176615
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method for generating one or more insurance quotes for a user is described herein. A computing device of an insurance provider may generate a first insurance quote for the user. The computing device may receive from a database information identifying contacts for the user. In response to determining that at least one of the contacts for the user is a customer of the insurance provider, an insurance quote for the customer may be accessed. The computing device may generate a second insurance quote for the user based on the insurance quote for the customer and the first insurance quote for the user. For example, the computing device may compare the insurance quote for the customer to the first insurance quote for the user. The first insurance quote may be adjusted to be within a predetermined amount of the insurance quote for the customer.

  • Patent number: 11177934
    Abstract: A computing device comprises a network element configured for receiving messages sent over a network from a control facility, a reduced instruction set computer processing circuitry comprising a central processing unit (CPU) and a secure hardware-implemented module adapted to verify that a signed PKI message is encoded in the received messages at a plurality of sequential intervals and to either switch the CPU from an operational state to a safe state, or prevent switching of the CPU from the safe state to the operational state, when a receipt of a signed PKI message is not verified in one of the sequential intervals. In the operational state, the CPU accesses a memory address space in the processing circuitry for executing software-based commands. In the safe state the CPU is prevented from executing the software-based commands while access to the memory address space is retained.
