Title: IMPROVED MESSAGING PLATFORM
Abstract: The current invention relates to a computer-implemented method for generating a notification for a user based on a plurality of messages originating from a plurality of information sources, said method comprising the steps of: repeatedly receiving, by a server, a message belonging to said plurality of messages originating from said plurality of information sources; comparing, by said server, said message to context data in view of user preference data; determining, by said server, whether the user should receive a notification based on said comparing; if so, sending, by said server, the notification to a device of said user; wherein said comparing is further done in view of an objective function with respect to said context data; wherein said context data comprises at least two physical entity records; and wherein said user preference data comprises at least a regularization type preference and a regularization level preference.
IPC codes: G06F  16/  9535            A I
Claims: number: 1
text: Computer-implemented method for generating a notification for a user based on a plurality of messages originating from a plurality of information sources accessible over a computer network, said method comprising the steps of:
number: 2
text: Method according to claim 1, characterized in that said regularization type preference relates to regularization without variable selection; said regularization without variable selection preferably relating to Tikhonov regularization or ridge-type regularization; and in that said regularization level preference relates to a value, preferably a real value, indicative of the intensity of said regularization.
number: 3
text: Method according to claims 1 or 2, characterized in that said regularization type preference relates to regularization with variable selection; said regularization with variable selection preferably relating to lasso regularization; and in that said regularization level preference relates to a value, preferably a real value, indicative of the intensity of said regularization.
number: 4
text: Method according to claims 1-3, characterized in that said plurality of information sources comprises at least one unstructured information source; wherein at least one message originating from said unstructured information source comprises a raw text string; wherein said step of comparing said message to said context data comprises natural language processing of said raw text string for assessing a relevance of said message with respect to said context data.
number: 5
text: Method according to claim 4, characterized in that said assessing of said relevance of said message with respect to said context data relates to identifying an indirect link between a result of said natural language processing of said raw text string and an entry comprised in said context data, preferably comprised in one of said at least two physical entity records; and wherein said identifying of said indirect link comprises searching a database comprising indirect link data for said indirect link based on said result of said natural language processing.
number: 6
text: Method according to claims 1-5, characterized in that said notification comprises an actionable item with respect to at least one physical entity record comprised in said context data, said actionable item preferably relating to an instruction for action selectable by said user, and wherein said method comprises the further steps of:
number: 7
text: Method according to claims 1-6, characterized in that said user preference data comprises a belief relating to at least one information source belonging to said plurality of information sources, and in that said method comprises the further step of:
number: 8
text: Method according to claims 1-7, characterized in that said notification comprises an indication of the at least one information source from which the message on which the notification is based originates.
number: 9
text: Method according to claims 1-8, characterized in that said notification comprises an indication of an impacted physical entity record; said impacted physical entity record relating to a physical entity record comprised in said at least two physical entity records whose presence in the context data contributes to said difference between said first value and said second value.
number: 10
text: Method according to claims 1-9, characterized in that said context data relates to a physical object collection comprising a plurality of physical goods or physical objects located at one or more physical locations; wherein each of said at least two physical entity records relates to at least one of said physical goods or physical objects, preferably wherein each of each of said at least two physical entity records corresponds to one of said physical goods or physical objects and vice versa; wherein each of said at least two physical entity records comprises at least an identification of the at least one of said physical goods or physical objects to which it relates; and wherein said objective function relates to an integrity and/or safety and/or completeness of said physical object collection.
number: 11
text: Method according to claims 1-10, characterized in that said context data relates to a portfolio comprising a plurality of tradable goods of which at least one relates to a physical entity; wherein each of said at least two physical entity records relates to at least one of said tradable goods, preferably wherein each of each of said at least two physical entity records corresponds to one of said tradeable goods being physical entities and vice versa; wherein each of said at least two physical entity records comprises at least an identification of the at least one of said tradable goods to which it relates; and wherein said objective function relates to a technical aim relating to said portfolio, said aim preferably relating to integrity and/or safety and/or completeness of said plurality of tradable goods.
number: 12
text: A computing system for generating a notification for a user based on a plurality of messages originating from a plurality of information sources accessible over a computer network, said system comprising
number: 13
text: System according to claim 12, characterized in that said database comprises indirect link data; in that said assessing of said relevance of said message with respect to said context data relates to identifying an indirect link between a result of said natural language processing of said raw text string and an entry comprised in said context data, preferably comprised in one of said at least two physical entity records; and wherein said identifying of said indirect link comprises searching said indirect link data for said indirect link based on said result of said natural language processing;
number: 14
text: System according to claims 12-13, characterized in that
number: 15
text: Use of the method according to claims 1-10 in the system according to claims 11-14.
