摘要:
A method (and structure) for end-to-end workforce management, includes identifying sources of data that together reflect data of substantially the entirety of a workforce of an organization, identifying service components related to the workforce, and combining the data sources and service components into an integrated framework to support an end-to-end workforce management cycle.
摘要:
A structure (and method) for a computerized organization optimization tool includes an input port to receive one or more of: characteristics of at least one offering of the organization; characteristics of resources of the organization; and characteristics of constraints of at least one of the resources and the at least one offering. A calculator receives the characteristics to calculate one or more optimal targets for the organization.

Method and apparatus for information boosting in related but disconnected databases, in one aspect, may comprise identifying disconnected data sources comprising data that are related or dependent on one another, determining one or more relationships and dependencies among the disconnected data, and refining the data sources based on one or more relationships and dependencies.

摘要:
A risk management method and system determine distribution of skills, composition of skills and resources to achieve said distribution, a set of actions to achieve said composition, a portfolio of service and/or product offerings, a composition of staffing plans to achieve said portfolio, and a set of demand conditioning actions to achieve said composition, in order to hedge against uncertainty based on demand information, risk information, product and/or service revenue and information, and skill cost and information, while meeting business objectives.

Past realization profiles can be used to predict future realization profiles using a similarity rubric that emphasizes relationships between the past realization profiles. That similarity rubric might involve techniques including manifold characterization of past realization profiles; predictive modeling; and/or matrix factorization. Realization profiles might be related to business projects and track features such as ongoing resource expenditure, revenues realized, or percentage project completion. Realization profiles might relate to other applications such as effectiveness of medical treatment.

In a computerized social network, expert and user chat sessions are stored and rated probabilistically. Later user requests for information are met with an expert ranking, based on a balance of similarities between expert profile and questions; similarity between expert profile and prior chat sessions, and dynamically updated chat session ratings. New sessions can be rated automatically with reference to keywords distilled from past sessions responsive to user ratings—and based on session length.

The invention provides a perceptually-based system for pattern retrieval and matching, suitable for use in a wide variety of information processing applications. An illustrative embodiment of the system uses a predetermined vocabulary comprising one or more dimensions to extract color and texture information from an information signal, e.g., an image, selected by a user. The system then generates a distance measure characterizing the relationship of the selected image to another image stored in a database, by applying a grammar, comprising a set of predetermined rules, to the color and texture information extracted from the selected image and corresponding color and texture information associated with the stored image. The vocabulary may include dimensions such as overall color, directionality and orientation, regularity and placement, color purity, and pattern complexity and heaviness. The rules in the grammar may include equal pattern, overall appearance, similar pattern, and dominant color and general impression, with each of the rules expressed as a logical combination of values generated for one or more of the dimensions. The distance measure may include separate color and texture metrics characterizing the similarity of the respective color and texture of the two images being compared. The invention is also applicable to other types of information signals, such as sequences of video frames.
