Abstract:

Examples of cognitive procurement and proactive continuous sourcing are defined. In an example, the system receives a procurement request. The system implements an artificial intelligence component to sort the supplier data into a plurality of domains. The system modifies a domain from the plurality of data domains based on new supplier data being received. The system generates user procurement behavior data based on the procurement interaction and a domain from the plurality of data domains. The system establishes a user procurement behavior model corresponding to a guideline associated with the procurement interaction. The system determines whether the user procurement behavior model should be updated based on modification in the plurality of data domains and updates the same. The system notifies the user regarding change in the user procurement behavior model due to change in a domain of the received supplier data selected by the user.

Abstract:

Examples of automated order troubleshooting are described. In an example embodiment, sales-specific data sources associated with at least one of a process, an organization, and an industry relevant for sales operations are monitored. From the monitored sales-specific data, an operation behavioral pattern is identified, based on predefined rules. Subsequently, a behavior model capturing the operation behavioral pattern is constructed using a pre-existing behavior model library. Using the behavior model, a potential event relating to an order received to be fulfilled using the sales operation is predicted, the potential event being indicative of an issue affecting the order. Accordingly, the issue affecting the order is proactively remediated to automatically troubleshoot the order.

Abstract:

Examples of a character recognition system are provided. In an example, the system may receive an object detection requirement pertaining to a video clip. The system may identify a visual media feature map from visual media data to process the object detection requirement. The system may implement an artificial intelligence component to segment the visual media feature map into a plurality of regions, and identify a plurality of image proposals therein. The system may implement a first cognitive learning operation to allocate a human face identity for a human face and an object name for an object present in the video clip. The system may determine a face identity model for the human face present in the plurality of image proposals and generate a tagged face identity model. The system may implement a second cognitive learning operation to assemble the plurality of frames with an appurtenant tagged face identity model.

Abstract:

A system for determining a response to a query includes a receiver to receive a query along with a plurality of potential responses to the query. A detector detects a topic and a type of the query based on information extracted from text and structure. Further, a selector selects at least one of a plurality of techniques for processing the query and the plurality of potential responses, based on the topic and the type of the query. An obtainer obtains an answer by execution of each of the selected techniques for processing the query and the plurality of potential responses along with an associated confidence score. A determinator determines one of obtained answers as a correct response to the query, based on a comparison between confidence scores associated with the answers.

International Classification:

G06N 5/04

Abstract:

In an example, an ontology analyzer may generate an ontology, based on a claim adjudication request. The claim adjudication request may be processed, based on the ontology to provide an ontology based inference. A rule based analyzer may identify a predefined rule corresponding to the claim adjudication request and process the request, based on the predefined rule. A conflict resolver may resolve a conflict which may occur between the ontology based inference and the rule based inference. When a conflict is detected, a predefined criteria may be selected for resolving the conflict, the predefined criteria comprising rules to select one of the ontology based inference and the rule based inference to maximize a probability of accurately processing the claim adjudication request in case of a conflict.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/08
G06F 17/30
G06N 99/00

Abstract:

A classifier receives policy data corresponding to a new policy. Further, the classifier processes the policy data to classify the policy data into an obligation class and an informational class. An information extractor then extracts metadata from the policy data that is classified into the obligation class. Subsequently, a data translator determines if there is an incremental change in the policy data based on a comparison of the policy data with policy data corresponding to existing policies. On determining the incremental change in the policy data, the data translator translates the policy data that is classified into the obligation class into a rule based on the metadata. A rules engine then receives the rule from the data translator for claims adjudication.

Abstract:

A system for orchestrating an operation is disclosed. The system includes an case orchestration engine to identify a discrepancy in the operation, and to generate a plurality of hypotheses for resolving the discrepancy. The case orchestration engine further collects evidence pertaining to the discrepancy in the operation, evaluates each of the plurality of hypotheses based on a dialogue-driven feedback received from a user, and selects one of the plurality of hypotheses for resolving the discrepancy based on the evidence and an expected outcome of the operation. The case orchestration engine provides reasons for the discrepancy along with remedial measures for resolving the discrepancy based on the selected hypothesis, and then generates a plan for performing the operation to achieve the expected outcome based on the remedial measures.
