Application: Machine learning techniques for maintaining optimum number of resources for distrubution to selected entities based on non-causal inference (Patent ID: US20240211779A1)

The patent filed by UnitedHealth Group Inc. describes a method and system for improving the allocation of limited resources by predicting the non-linear causal effects of resource allocation on specific entities based on historical data and expert knowledge. The system uses a resource allocation machine learning framework to determine optimal resource allocation amounts for different entity cohorts and then configures operations accordingly. The method involves generating non-linear causal effect predictions, determining an optimum operation configuration, and initiating prediction-based actions based on the optimal resource allocation amounts.

The patent claims detail the computer-implemented method, computing apparatus, and computer program product for implementing the resource allocation system. The method involves receiving historical data and directed acyclic graph data, generating non-linear causal effect predictions using a machine learning model, determining optimal resource allocation values, and initiating actions based on the determined configuration. The system utilizes expert knowledge data, causal variable values, and supervised machine learning regression to optimize resource allocation for various resource-receiving entities. Additionally, the method includes determining optimal causal variable values based on a causal benefit curve and a cost threshold associated with the causal variable. Overall, the patent aims to enhance resource allocation efficiency by leveraging predictive analytics and machine learning techniques.
