  • Patent number: 11966947
    Abstract: A system and methods are disclosed for creating and using a revenue value index to score impressions and users for purposes of determining fair pricing for advertisement (“ad”) placement or to provide analytics and information to publishers for future use. The revenue value index may be configured to evaluate data obtained or acquired from first-party, publisher platforms and/or third-party platforms or other data sources for the purpose of valuing either ad impressions or the users engaging the websites on which ads are likely to be placed. The revenue value index may be utilized for either providing value information to entities (for example, publishers) or for measuring the value of ad impressions or users for use in determining fair pricing in real-time auctions conducted for ad placement.

    Abstract: A computerized-method for gauging agent's self-assessment effectiveness, is provided herein. The computerized-method includes for each interaction (i) operating a Self-assessment Consolidation module to calculate a confidence-interval for each data-point of one or more preconfigured data-points, and (ii) operating a Self-assessment Divergence Determinant (SDD) module. The operating of the SDD includes: retrieving one or more data-points of the interaction; for each data-point retrieving the confidence interval; setting a divergence-indicator as zero, when the data point is within the confidence-interval; setting the divergence-indicator as a subtraction of the data point from the calculated lower-bound, when the data-point is lower than the lower-bound of the confidence-interval; and setting the divergence-indicator as a subtraction of the calculated upper-bound from the data-point, when the data-point is greater than the upper-bound of the confidence-interval.

  • Patent number: 11424023
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement a healthcare analytics management system. A healthcare analytics development sub-system develops an analytics pipeline of a set of analytics assets for a selected healthcare based on a set of business needs for a healthcare analytics client and a healthcare analytics model based on the set of analytics assets and the set of business needs. A model deployment module of a healthcare analytics operation sub-system deploys the healthcare analytics model on a set of computing devices of the selected healthcare consumer. Responsive to detecting a performance deviation of the deployed healthcare analytics model from the set of business needs, a model feedback module determines improvement needs for the healthcare analytics model. The model feedback module feeds the improvement needs back to the healthcare analytics development sub-system. The healthcare analytics development sub-system customizes the healthcare analytics model based on the improvement needs.

  • Patent number: 11397955
    Abstract: Estimations of carbon dioxide (“CO2”) emission of an entity upon the condition of incomplete or missing data uses one or more algorithms implemented in a machine having a processor and a memory and data concerning the entity. The data is applied to an algorithm implemented as code executable in the processor. The algorithm produces a result that comprises an estimate of the CO2 emission of the entity. The CO2 emission estimate can be output to a user, and the underlying formula and data can inspected and optionally modified by users with suitable permissions. The CO2 emission estimate can be applied as a factor in a formula to compute a rating for the entity which can be output from the machine. Error estimates associated with the data used by the algorithm can be generated to provide improved estimates.

    Abstract: Behavior data associated with a user is obtained. The behavior data is generated when the user uses an Internet service and includes a user identification and identification information indicating the Internet service. At least one predefined carbon-saving quantity quantization algorithm is determined based on the identification information related to the Internet service. A carbon-saving quantity associated with the user is calculated based on the obtained behavior data and the determined at least one predefined carbon-saving quantity quantization algorithm. Based on the calculated carbon-saving quantity associated with the user and the user identification, user data is processed. The user data is related to the carbon-saving quantity associated with the user.

  • Patent number: 11386156
    Abstract: One or more processing devices access a service definition for a service provided by one or more entities that each produce machine data or about which machine data is generated. The service definition identifies the entities that provide the service and, for each entity, definitional information includes information for identifying machine data pertaining to that entity. The processing devices access a key performance indicator (KPI) for the service that is defined by a search query that produces a value derived from the machine data pertaining to the entities identified in the service definition. The value indicates how the service is performing at a point in time or during a period of time and indicates a state of the KPI. A graphical interface is displayed and an indication of at least one threshold, which defines an end of a range of values representing a state of the KPI, for the KPI is received.

  • Patent number: 11386376
    Abstract: A risk parsing device provides risk splitting and loss event diversification for a multi-risk forecast systems capturing multiple loss aggregation under complex environmental conditions based on the occurrence of defined loss events. The loss events are triggered by one or more involved causing units and affected units, wherein the loss events evolve from one or multiple risk accumulating sources. Risk events related loss measures can be scattered over multiple causing units or multiple related clash events. The multi-risk forecast system provides loss-generating processes and events, wherein the inventive risk splitter is a technical core element to generate an event-related loss distribution mirroring cause-effect chains induced by the risk events which extend over space and time. The risk splitter module allows automated splitting of the risk based on risk exposed, causing unit characteristics and risk exposed affected units' characteristics.
