  • Patent number: 11995595
    Abstract: Embodiments maintain historical activity information for a plurality of entity records. Each historical activity record includes a sequence-number that reflects a temporal position of the represented activity instance relative to other activity instances that targeted the corresponding entity. Based on this historical activity information, embodiments generate marginal value matrices (MVMs) that show the historical effectiveness of activities. Specifically, each entity is assigned to a bucket based on an associated entity score. An MVM charts a marginal value for each combination of bucket index and sequence-number, where the marginal value at each combination of bucket index and sequence-number is the average of the activity result values of the historical activity records, for entities assigned to the bucket index, having the sequence-number. Embodiments use MVMs to predict marginal values for activities targeted to each current entity of the salesperson.

The method and system quantifies the lack of parity, creates an injury profile report and proscribes any functional limitations for the injured worker. The output can be used to assign safer and more accurate functional limitations and assign safer and more accurate functional limitations to support a safer return to work event for the inured worker after injury.

  • Patent number: 11551570
    Abstract: A skills learning method for a student gathers objective data relating to the student in response to various stimuli, and produces a predicted feedback units as a function of the objective data using a machine learning-base classifier. The method can include training a neural network using objective data of student interactions and associated subjective assessments of a skill of each objective data. The method includes receiving a new dataset with objective data of a new student and an associated subjective assessment of a skill of the first student represented by the new objective data. A predicted assessment of the skill of the new objective data is calculated by inputting the new objective data into the neural network. The method can include updating the neural network by combining the initial dataset and the new dataset and recompiling the neural network to fit the model dataset based on a learning algorithm.

  • Patent number: 11514020
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first snapshot of a source system and deriving a set of key-value pairs reflecting the first snapshot. A mirror operation of the source system is performed to obtain CDC change operations. The method obtains a first CDC log as a first sequence of key-value pairs. A second snapshot of the source system is obtained and a set of key-value pairs is derived, which reflects the second snapshot. The first sequence of key-value pairs is compared with the set of key-value pairs to derive corrective CDC operations, captured as a set of key-value pairs. The corrective CDC operations represent corrections to be performed with respect to the first sequence of key-value pairs. A second CDC log is obtained as a second sequence of key-value pairs. The corrective CDC operations ensure that the second sequence of key-value pairs are coherent with the set of key-value pairs.
