Abstract

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for integrating uncertainty quantifications into a long-term risk based calendar is provided. The present invention may include receiving data for an organization. The present invention may include generating a long-term risk based calendar using the data received for the organization. The present invention may include presenting the long-term risk based calendar to a plurality of user associated with the organization. The present invention may include providing one or more recommendations to at least one of the plurality of users.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for integrating uncertainty quantifications into a risk based calendar, the method comprising:
analyzing, using one or more linguistic analysis techniques, data received for an organization, wherein the one or more linguistic analysis techniques are utilized in understanding requirements for each of one or more locations of the organization; generating a risk based calendar using the data received for the organization, wherein the risk based calendar is embedded with one or more uncertainty quantifications based on quantified probabilities of uncertain events and a corresponding impact on each of the one or more locations of the organization; presenting the risk based calendar to a plurality of users associated with the organization, wherein the risk based calendar includes incentive offers to a user generated by a Deep Neural Network based on the requirements for each of the one or more locations of the organization, wherein the risk based calendar is presented with a game board, and wherein the Deep Neural Network is retrained based on the incentive offers selected by users to improve a selection of low probability times of the uncertain events; and providing one or more recommendations to at least one of the plurality of users, wherein the one or more recommendations are provided using one or more prediction algorithms, wherein the one or more prediction algorithms utilizes at least one or more of, organizational requirements, user preferences, or games rules in providing the one or more recommendations, and wherein the one or more prediction algorithms includes Random Forest Quantile Regression.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving feedback from at least one or more of, the organization, the plurality of users, or one or more IoT devices associated with a physical location corresponding to each of the one or more locations of the organization; and storing the feedback in a database.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the risk based calendar is specific to each of the plurality of users, and wherein the risk based calendar is updated in real time.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyzing of the data received for the organization further comprises:
generating one or more groupings and sub-groupings for each of the plurality of users associated with the organization; and providing the one or more recommendations to two or more users at once to coordinate time off between the two or more users based on the one or more groupings and sub-groupings of the two or more users and the requirements for each of the one or more locations of the organization.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the risk based calendar includes at least one or more blackout dates and at least one or more high risk dates, wherein the one or more blackout dates and the one or more high risk dates exceed a risk threshold level, and wherein leave requests are disabled from the one or more blackout dates and the one or more high risk dates.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the organizational requirements include determining at least a probability of over-staffing and a probability of under-staffing.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more recommendations provided include at least a list of potential destinations based on desired activities and climates designated by the at least one user within a user profile, wherein each of the potential destinations include an associated list of dates determined by one or more prediction algorithms, wherein the one or more prediction algorithms utilize at least a user role, a physical location of the organization, and the requirements of the organization as input.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the one or more uncertainty quantifications includes weather, wherein the quantified probabilities of the uncertain events associated with the weather are determined based on spatio-temporal weather forecasts which utilize both seasonal and sub-seasonal forecasts for the physical location of the organization associated with the user.

9 . A computer system for integrating uncertainty quantifications into a risk based calendar, comprising:
one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising: analyzing, using one or more linguistic analysis techniques, data received for an organization, wherein the one or more linguistic analysis techniques are utilized in understanding requirements for each of one or more locations of the organization; generating a risk based calendar using the data received for the organization, wherein the risk based calendar is embedded with one or more uncertainty quantifications based on quantified probabilities of uncertain events and a corresponding impact on each of the one or more locations of the organization; presenting the risk based calendar to a plurality of users associated with the organization, wherein the risk based calendar includes incentive offers to a user generated by a Deep Neural Network based on the requirements for each of the one or more locations of the organization, wherein the risk based calendar is presented with a game board, and wherein the Deep Neural Network is retrained based on the incentive offers selected by users to improve a selection of low probability times of the uncertain events; and providing one or more recommendations to at least one of the plurality of users, wherein the one or more recommendations are provided using one or more prediction algorithms, wherein the one or more prediction algorithms utilizes at least one or more of, organizational requirements, user preferences, or games rules in providing the one or more recommendations, and wherein the one or more prediction algorithms includes Random Forest Quantile Regression.

10 . The computer system of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving feedback from at least one or more of, the organization, the plurality of users, or one or more IoT devices associated with a physical location corresponding to each of the one or more locations of the organization; and storing the feedback in a database.

11 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the risk based calendar is specific to each of the plurality of users, and wherein the risk based calendar is updated in real time.

12 . A computer program product for integrating uncertainty quantifications into a risk based calendar, comprising:
one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising: analyzing, using one or more linguistic analysis techniques, data received for an organization, wherein the one or more linguistic analysis techniques are utilized in understanding requirements for each of one or more locations of the organization; generating a risk based calendar using the data received for the organization, wherein the risk based calendar is embedded with one or more uncertainty quantifications based on quantified probabilities of uncertain events and a corresponding impact on each of the one or more locations of the organization; presenting the risk based calendar to a plurality of users associated with the organization, wherein the risk based calendar include
