Fuente: Wipo "digitalization" Systems and methods for optimizing a digital workflow within a digital platform are provided. An illustrative method includes generating, based on a user request, a decentralized digital thread associated with the digital workflow, and generating a workflow data structure based on the decentralized digital thread. The method also includes calculating a workflow cost associated with executing one or more workflow tasks of the workflow data structure, and identifying a cost-reducing modification to the workflow data structure. Finally, the method includes generating an updated workflow data structure and a corresponding updated decentralized digital thread based on tire identified modification. In various embodiments, the cost-reducing modification is identified using expert user feedback, a graph optimization algorithm, a workflow optimization machine learning model, and/or a prediction machine learning model.
