Abstract

A method and a system for evaluating a cost of insurance are provided. The method may commence with parsing a text from medical information sources to obtain statistical data associated with a population of patients. The method may further include structuring the statistical data to form structured medical metadata in an intelligent medical database. Based on the structured medical metadata, a causal network may be created. The method may continue with receiving health data associated with a patient from one or more patient data sources. The health data may be parsed to obtain processed patient health data. The method may further include mapping the processed patient health data against the causal network. Based on the mapping, a future health status associated with the patient may be predicted. The method may continue with evaluating the cost of the insurance associated with the patient based on the future health status.

Abstract

A method for facilitating travel reservations is presented. The method may commence with receiving a travel related query. Upon receiving the travel related query, an attribute set relevant to the travel related query may be ascertained. The method may continue with parsing the travel related query to derive attribute values related to the attribute set. Upon parsing, at least one attribute of the attribute set may be initiated with the derived attribute values. The method may include ranking the at least one attribute based on user preferences and assigning weights to the at least one attribute based on the ranking to create at least one weighted attribute. The method may continue with searching for feasible travel itineraries. The feasible travel itineraries may be scored based on the at least one weighted attribute. At least one travel itinerary selected based on the scoring may be presented to a user.

Abstract

A method for facilitating travel reservations is described. The method may commence with receiving a travel-related query from a user and parsing the travel-related query to derive at least one attribute of the travel-related query. One or more further users may be selected based on comparing the at least one attribute of the user with attributes of the one or more further users. The at least one attribute of the user may be ranked based on preference data of the one or more further users. The method may continue with assigning weights to the at least one attribute based on the ranking to create at least one weighted attribute. Feasible travel itineraries may be searched based on the at least one attribute and scored based on the at least one weighted attribute and travel itineraries selected based on the scoring may be presented.

Abstract

A method for booking an itinerary using automatic consumption of loyalty reward points may commence with receiving loyalty point data associated with a customer. The loyalty point data may be associated with at least one loyalty program and loyalty reward points of the customer. The method may include receiving customer travel preferences and a request to schedule the itinerary using the loyalty reward points. Based on the loyalty point data, the at least one loyalty program may be accessed to determine an amount of the loyalty reward points and available loyalty reward offerings for the customer. The method may continue with searching for feasible itineraries for the customer based on the loyalty reward points, the available loyalty reward offerings, and the customer travel preferences. Upon selecting an itinerary from the feasible itineraries by the customer, the loyalty reward points may be consumed to book the selected itinerary.

Abstract

A method and system for facilitating multi-passenger travel reservations are described. The method may commence with receiving a travel-related query associated with a plurality of passengers. The method may continue with ascertaining, based on the travel-related query, a plurality of attribute sets for each of the plurality of passengers. The method may further include parsing the travel-related query to derive attribute values related to the plurality of attribute sets. Upon parsing, at least one attribute of the plurality of attribute sets may be instantiated with the derived attribute values. The method may include searching, for each of the plurality of passengers, for feasible travel itineraries based on the least one attribute and user preferences and presenting at least one multi-passenger travel itinerary for each of the plurality of passengers.

Abstract

A method for classifying a prospective traveler based on statistical inference is described herein. The method comprises receiving an input associated with the prospective traveler. Encoded representation of preferences and goals may be extracted from the input and levels and may be assigned to the preferences and goals. Based on the levels assigned to the preferences and goals, the prospective traveler may be classified according to one or more traveler profiles. Based on the classification, one or more consumer choices may be offered to the prospective traveler.
