20080221954 | RANKING-BASED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING CUSTOMER PREDICATION MODELS - A method and system perform ranking-based evaluations for regression models that are often appropriate for marketing tasks and are more robust to outliers than traditional residual-based performance measures. The output provided by the method and system provides visualization that can offer insights about local model performance and outliers. Several models can be compared to each other to identify the “best” model and, therefore, the “best” model data for the particular marketing task. | 09-11-2008 |
20130116920 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR FLOOD AWARE TRAVEL ROUTING - A travel routing system, method and program product therefor. A location detector detects a current location. A geographical database provides details of a given area. Selecting a destination causes a route generator to generate routes through the area from the current location. A flood simulator receives meteorological data and determines flooding along the routes. A risk-modeling unit determines the risk to travelers of using each route. Before the risk-modeling unit is deployed, it is trained off-line to model travel risks using incidents in an incident data store and simulated flooding in the vicinity of the incidents. | 05-09-2013 |
20140136462 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR AUTOMATICALLY SUPPLYING MISSING PARAMETERS FOR MATCHING NEW MEMBERS OF A POPULATION WITH ANALOGOUS MEMBERS - A population comparison system, method and a computer program product therefor. A stored list of population members, e.g., hydrocarbon reservoirs, includes parameters for corresponding known characteristics and analogous members for each member. A new population member input receives new member descriptions including parameters for each respective new member. A parameter extraction system automatically extracts an estimated value for each missing key parameter, providing a supplemented description. An analogous member selector automatically selects a subset of listed population members as analogous members for each new population member responsive to the supplemented description. | 05-15-2014 |
20140136466 | AUTOMATICALLY SELECTING ANALOGOUS MEMBERS FOR NEW POPULATION MEMBERS BASED ON INCOMPLETE DESCRIPTIONS, INCLUDING AN UNCERTAINTY CHARACTERZING SELECTION - A population comparison system, method and a computer program product. A stored list of population members, e.g., hydrocarbon reservoirs, includes parameters for corresponding known characteristics and analogous members for each member. A new population member input receives new member descriptions including parameters for each respective new member. A parameter extraction system automatically extracts an estimated value for each missing key parameter, providing a supplemented description. An analogous member selector automatically selects a subset of listed population members as analogous members for each new population member responsive to the supplemented description. The analogous members serve as a basis for uncertainty characterization from the joint parameter distribution and univariate distributions for each parameter. | 05-15-2014 |
20140163901 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR AUTOMATICALLY MATCHING NEW MEMBERS OF A POPULATION WITH ANALOGOUS MEMBERS - A population comparison system, method and a computer program product therefor. A stored list of population members, e.g., hydrocarbon reservoirs, characteristics and analogous members is partitioned into lists for each member. A weighting system automatically uses the partitions to determine a weight set (w*) for population member characteristic and a similarity function. The weighting system may include an objective model that iteratively, blindly identifies analogous members for each population member until the identified analogous members match the listed analogous members. An analogous member selector uses the weights set (w*) and similarity function to automatically select analogous listed members for each new population member. | 06-12-2014 |

20080285451 | Method, Apparatus, and Computer Program Product for System Selection During Service Acquisition - An apparatus for system selection includes a processing element. The processing element may be configured to commence a search for a network service system, determine whether a real-time application is active, and select a network service system in response to a determination that the real-time application is active according to a preference order that is different than an order of preference for network service systems for use if the real-time application is not active. | 11-20-2008 |
20140196093 | UNIFIED ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE - A device may receive a request for an electronic program guide from a user device and determine a location of the user device. The device may determine, based on the determining that the user device is located in a first location, a group of different types of networks available to the user device and may provide, based on the determined group of different types of networks available to the user device, the electronic program guide for display. The electronic program guide may include a network identifier for each of one or more available channels associated with each of the determined group of different types of networks, and a content identifier associated with a respective one of the one or more available channels associated with each of the determined group of different types of networks. | 07-10-2014 |
20150109940 | DYNAMIC LOAD BALANCING BASED ON NETWORK PERFORMANCE - A server device may be configured to determine a first measure of throughput associated with a cellular wireless network, determine a second measure of throughput associated with a wireless local area network (“WLAN”), compare the first measure of throughput to the second measure of throughput; select, based on the comparing, a particular one of the cellular wireless network or the WLAN, and send an instruction to a user device that is in range of the cellular wireless network and the WLAN, the instruction instructing the user device to connect to the particular selected wireless network. | 04-23-2015 |
