20110185220 | REMOTE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND METHOD BASED ON DEVICE DATA CLASSIFICATION - A remote diagnostic system and method based on device data classification. Device diagnostic data with respect to a device can be acquired and a conditional probability look up table can be constructed for each fault code associated with the device diagnostic data by a classification module. A score function can then be created by summing the conditional probabilities and an occurrence of the fault code can be mapped to a service call category with a numerically highest score function. The fault occurrence data in association with a number of time stamps and device identifiers can be stored in a data warehouse. The occurrence of fault code can be matched with respect to a solution set which can be automatically dispatched to a customer via a communications link. | 07-28-2011 |
20110218938 | SYSTEM FOR SELECTING AN OPTIMAL SAMPLE SET OF JOBS FOR DETERMINING PRICE MODELS FOR A PRINT MARKET PORT - A system for determining price models of a print market port including a processor and a computer-readable storage medium in communication with said processor, wherein the computer-readable storage medium comprises one or more programming instructions for: partitioning a job dataset into a plurality of categories, each of the plurality of categories having a pricing model; determining one or more factors within the job dataset that influence a price of each job; developing an input/output model for each job in the job dataset that influences the price of the job; performing an iteration to compute a prediction error for each job in the job dataset that influences the price of the job; removing one or more jobs from a subsequent iteration that include prediction errors that exceed a prediction error threshold; and performing a plurality of iterations on remaining jobs until a predetermined average error prediction is reached. | 09-08-2011 |
20120154850 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ESTIMATING THE COST OF A PRINT JOB - A method of estimating the cost of a target print job may include identifying a target print job having a document type and one or more attributes, for each attribute of the target print job, determining a correlation between the attribute and a cost of the target print job using a plurality of historical print jobs associated with the document type, and identifying one or more of the attributes as cost drivers based on the correlation of the attribute to the cost of the target print job. The method may include identifying one or more relevant historical print jobs from the plurality of historical print jobs based on values for the identified cost drivers, estimating a cost of the target print job using the one or more relevant historical print jobs, and displaying the estimated cost associated with the target print job. | 06-21-2012 |
20120323760 | DYNAMIC LOAN SERVICE MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD - The disclosure describes a method and system monitoring a set of loans and identifying loans in the set that that are likely to default before an upcoming date. The system uses a set of data about loans that are in a default status and loans that are in a non-default status to train a set of loan models. The loan models include at least one model for a defaulted loan and at least one model for a non-defaulted loan. After the loan models are created, the system monitors active loans and classifies each active loan in accordance with one of the loan models. Based on the loan model to which the active loan is classified, the processor will determine a probability of default over a prospective time period for the active loan and issue an alert when a loan's probability of default exceeds a threshold. | 12-20-2012 |
20130046724 | IDENTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT SEQUENCES OF FAULT CODES BY STATISTICAL HYPOTHESIS TESTING - In some aspects of the present application, a method for identifying significant events related to machine problems. The method includes receiving one or more machine problems; determining one or more machine problem classifications based on the one or more machine problems; generating a probability distribution that the one or more machines problems are related to the one more machine problem classifications; determining if one or more events are associated with the one or more machine problems during a predetermined time interval; and determining if the one or more events are significantly related to the one or more machine problem classifications using a statistical algorithm. | 02-21-2013 |
20130073298 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RECOMMENDING VENDORS TO SUBMIT BIDS FOR A PRINT JOB - A method of recommending vendors to bid on a print job may include identifying a print job for which a recommendation of vendors to bid on the print job is desired and identifying one or more vendors as potential bidders for the print job. The method may include, for each identified vendor, determining, by a computing device, a bidding probability associated with the vendor, a winning probability associated with the vendor, a recommendation probability associated with the vendor, and identifying the vendor as a recommended vendor based on the associated recommendation probability. The method may include notifying a user of the recommended vendors. | 03-21-2013 |
20130117070 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING MARKET SIMULATION SERVICE - A method of providing a market simulation service includes: a) receiving a request for predictive information regarding a subsequent competitive bidding process in an existing marketplace, the existing marketplace having been previously used for like competitive bidding processes, the request being received from a user device associated with a prospective participant in the subsequent competitive bidding process, the request including auction parameters and simulation parameters; b) obtaining historical marketplace data from a data storage device, the historical marketplace data associated with the existing marketplace and the plurality of like competitive bidding processes; c) processing the historical marketplace data using a statistical sampling algorithm and a resampling technique based on the auction parameters to determine a distribution function for the like competitive bidding processes; and d) simulating the subsequent competitive bidding process using an evolutionary algorithm based on the simulation parameters and the distribution function to derive the predictive information. | 05-09-2013 |
20130346447 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BEHAVIORAL PATTERN MINING - Methods and systems of performing data mining may include receiving a plurality of web log records and a plurality of call log records; associating one or more web log records with a call log record, wherein the associated user for each of the associated one or more web log records and the call log record are the same; identifying one or more patterns among the web log records for the plurality of call log records, wherein each pattern comprises one or more web accesses, a time stamp at which each of the one or more web accesses is performed and the call topic for the call log record; identifying one or more web log records associated with a new call, and predicting a call topic for the new call based on at least one pattern and the one or more web log records. | 12-26-2013 |
20140280150 | Multi-source contextual information item grouping for document analysis - A method and system for processing informational items originating from a plurality of information sources into a derived document for topical analysis thereof. Informational items are collated from a one of the sources in accordance with a predetermined plurality of relevant attributes and a key property value of common to select ones of the relevant attributes. Informational items are then grouped from the plurality of sources associated with the key common property value to form a document, wherein the informational items therein are marked on the informational source thereof. The document is then analyzed for topical identification. | 09-18-2014 |
