Title
A virtual marketplace for goods and services for people with social needs
Abstract
The needs of vulnerable populations have been addressed, traditionally, by an ecosystem of private and public agencies that rely on donations (goods, money and services) which they re-distribute based on their perception of what is needed and where. This approach lacks a comprehensive understanding of the demand side as well as the ability to coordinate between various suppliers of goods and services, predict future demand and identify latent supply. We present a knowledge-based platform that utilizes advances in several Artificial Intelligence fields for a more efficient and effective way of provisioning goods and services to people in need.
