  • Patent number: 11176616
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, an existing risk relationship data store may contain electronic records, each electronic record including a risk relationship identifier and a risk relationship characteristic for an existing risk relationship between the enterprise and an entity. A prediction platform may receive electronic records associated with a set of existing risk relationships along with an indication of a future adjustment to a parameter associated with the set of existing risk relationships. The prediction platform may then automatically calculate a projected future impact to a key metric for the set of existing risk relationships based on the future adjustment to the parameter. A rendering platform may receive the projected future impact to the key metric and present an interactive graphical user interface, including an indication of projected future impact, to an administrator.

  • Patent number: 11068522
    Abstract: Text input data may be aggregated and mapped to create composite text input data for electronic records. A semantic event may be automatically detected, triggered by a semantic rule and associated semantic tag. The detected semantic event may be flagged, and a text mining result database may be updated by adding an entry to the database. An indication associated with the event may be transmitted, and a back-end application computer server may establish a hierarchy for multiple elements of the electronic records. The computer server may determine a weight variable and response variable for each element in the hierarchy and apply a hierarchical credibility weighting methodology to the elements from level 1, representing the least granular level in the hierarchy, to level n, representing the most granular level in the hierarchy, calculated recursively from level n, to determine a final estimated credibility for the electronic records.
