  • Patent number: 11308437
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving an offer request including one or more desired services, and selecting available offerings, each of which include at least one of the desired services. A determination is made whether available benchmarks exist for each of the at least one desired service included in each of the selected available offerings. For each desired service determined as not having available benchmarks, a draft benchmark is computed for each of a plurality of criteria. A confidence weight is also computed for each of the draft benchmarks. The available benchmarks, the draft benchmarks, and the confidence weights are further used to construct an offer which is submitted in response to the received offer request. Moreover, the draft benchmarks and the corresponding confidence weights are re-computed for each of the respective desired services in response to determining that the submitted offer was not accepted.

  • Patent number: 11295175
    Abstract: In an approach for an automatic document separation, a processor extracts one or more features from a document containing a plurality of pages. A processor generates a data frame based on the feature extraction. In response to analyzing a similarity between the plurality of pages, a processor determines whether the similarity exceeds a predetermined threshold. In response to determining that the similarity does not exceed the predetermined threshold, a processor transforms text into vectors forming float arrays. In response to benchmarking a set of predetermined clustering algorithms, a processor identifies a clustering algorithm using a predetermined criterion. A processor clusters the plurality of pages, using the clustering algorithm, to create a group of pages. A processor validates the clustered group of pages. In response to passing validation, a processor generates a set of final separated files based on the clustered group of pages.

Actions are generated for a conversation when an insight is received from a natural language processing system. Industry, segment, client specific instructions, third party data, a state for the lead and lead historical patterns are also received. A decision making action model is tuned using this information. An objective for the conversation may be extracted from the state information for the lead. The tuned model is then applied to the insight and objective to output an action. A response message may be generated for the action. The action is directed to cause a state transition of the lead to a preferred state. In another embodiment, systems and methods are presented for feature extraction from one or more messages. In yet other embodiments, systems and methods for message cadence optimization are provided.

  • Patent number: 11100599
    Abstract: An online career guidance system generates and displays superimposed polygons to a user for a corresponding career. The first polygon may have three to eight vertices, with each vertex representing a career skill. The distance from a focus to each vertex represents a career skill level predetermined to be needed for that career skill for that career. The second polygon has the same number of vertices as the first polygon that represent the same career skills and shares the same focus. The distance from the focus to each vertex of the second polygon represents a user skill level determined from previous achievements of the user. The distance between a career skill level and a user skill level (preferably both normalized to the same scale) visually represents any career skill deficits (or over qualifications) the user may have for the selected career.

  • Patent number: 11093900
    Abstract: An employment exchange for facilitating the transfer of verified candidates between an off-boarding employer and an on-boarding employer, comprising an outplacement tracking module, a requirement tracking module, and a placement tracking module. The outplacement tracking module verifies the identity of a user, such as an employer or a candidate, before the user can register with the employment exchange, and further ensures that each candidate is an active job seeker whose employment is terminated by an off-boarder. The requirement tracking module allows an on-boarder to post job requisitions and hire candidates, and allows a candidate to apply to job requisitions. The placement tracking module tracks the status of a placement offer extended by an on-boarder to a candidate to verify that the placement is completed.

  • Patent number: 11093563
    Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes a server configured to store a plurality of location accounts, each location account being associated with a physical space at a recorded geospatial location. The plurality of location accounts utilize shared data definitions of a physical space parameter. Each physical space is equipped with a corresponding on-premise sensor configured to detect measured values for the physical space parameter over time and send to the server a data stream indicating the measured values. The computer system further includes a network portal, via which an authorized user for a location account can selectively choose whether to share the measured values or a summary thereof with other location accounts via the network portal.

  • Patent number: 11062241
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating parking enforcement officer dispatching in real time with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A time-based active representational model of the city is created by fusing sensory data collected from various sources around a city with numerical data gleaned from historical and on-going activities, including parking regulation citation and warning numbers, resource allocations, and so on. The model can be used to form quantitative predictions of expected violations, revenue stream, and so forth, that can then be used as recommendations as to where to enforce and when, so as to maximize the utilization of the limited resources represented by the officers on the street. Moreover, the performance of the officers can be weighed against expectations of performance postulated from the quantitative predictions.

  • Patent number: 11048821
    Abstract: Hosted server implementation is provided for intermediating anonymous firm matching and exit strategy negotiations. The system generates user accounts in response to user interaction with a hosted server interface, and matches client users based on at least an industry type and user-selected criteria, and electronically presents users with anonymized profiles corresponding to the users matched therewith. Responsive to selection of an anonymized profile, the system enables confidential and anonymous sharing of client user data corresponding to the selection criteria. Further responsive to authorization from each corresponding client user, the system generates intermediated and anonymous correspondence between a first client user and selected client users via a hosted server platform, wherein the hosted server interfaces substantially prevent identification of either client user participating in the intermediated correspondence.

  • Patent number: 11037097
    Abstract: Local caches are provided for last-mile item distribution. Each local cache stores items belonging to different customers. A management server tracks customer locations relative to a local cache. The management server instructs at least one robot within the local cache to ready for pickup items belonging to a particular customer as the particular customer nears the local cache. The robot retrieves and queues the items for pickup prior to the particular customer arriving at the local cache. The item is transferred once the particular customer arrives at the local cache. The management server monitors the position through a front-end application running on a mobile device of the particular customer. The application can also be used to contact delivery drivers to deliver items on behalf of customers that do not wish to pickup items from the local cache.
