Abstract: A filter selection technique is described for automatically selecting filters and filter parameters to apply to a given input data. The technique first receives input data and accesses a library storing information from previously analyzed data. The technique selects an entry from the library where the entry contains data that is correlated with the input data. The technique then applies a filter to the input data. The filter and filter parameters are determined by the selected entry.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of circular transaction path detection are presented. In one example, a directed graph comprising nodes and directed edges interconnecting the nodes is generated. The directed graph is based on information describing a plurality of parties and a plurality of transactions between the parties. A circular path length of interest is received. Strongly connected components of the directed graph are identified. Within each of the strongly connected components, each circular path having a length equal to the circular path length of interest is discovered. For each discovered circular path, the transactions represented by the directed edges of the path are denoted as related transactions.

The received first data is processed and a model for at least one shipping pattern of the item from the distributor to the location is determined based on the processed received first data. A forecast for a future shipping demand of the item by the location is generated based on the determined model. At least one shipping pattern of the item from the distributor to the location is optimized based on the generated forecast.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein include at least one of systems, methods, and software for adaptive in-memory customer and customer account classification. Some such embodiments include receiving a rule identifying data attributes that contribute to at least one outcome with regard to at least one product and applying the rule to a dataset replicated from a transactional data environment to an in-memory data environment. Application of the rule results in segmentation of at least one of customers and customer accounts likely to have each of the at least one outcomes, the replicated dataset including customer data. Such embodiments may then output data representative of the segmented at least one of customers and customer accounts likely to have each of the at least one outcomes. The in some embodiments, the rule is applied to define a further rule which may be stored and later utilized to perform further data segmentation.

Abstract: A computing system (100) receives transaction records (130) for loans taken at various interest rates (1904) for a loan segment (902). Performance indicators (1716) indicative of customer behaviors (1702) are computed (1806) using independent demand models (300, 302, 304, 306, and 308). Computing system (100) includes a performance indicator forecaster (112) that determines relationships between the performance indicators (1716) and various prices, or interest rates (1904). These relationships can include profit (1906) and/or volume (1908) relative to the various interest rates (1904). The relationships are utilized to select an interest rate (1912, 2102) for the product segment (902) for implementation by a financial institution.

Abstract: A computer system for modeling a portfolio of products in a financial system to determine the rate of a target product. The products are defined by attribute values, an attribute being any criteria that impacts product rates. Linear associated product rules are used by the computer system to create an optimized scenario of total profit and overall volume of sales for the portfolio. From the optimized scenario a rate for the target product can be determined which maintains a financial institution's strategic and business objectives. The optimizing process includes applying the associated product rules to products actively contributing to key performance indicators. Densification is then used to infer the rate for all other products in the portfolio. Finally, if the starting rate of a product violates an associated product rule, the starting rate is relaxed to avoid the violation.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining the reference values of sensitivities and strategies for price optimization demand models from a profit function and current product price. A total profit objective is expressed as the maximization of profit and volume, where a strategy parameter represents the relationship between profit and volume. From the total profit objective, the bounds of the strategy parameter are expressed as conditional inequalities relating the bounds to functions of the unit profit at the current rate and average volume. The strategy parameter is then set to the average of these bounds. The reference elasticity is expressed as a function of the unit profit function and average volume. The resulting reference values can be used in a price optimization system to generate recommended prices that relate to an industry's current pricing scheme.

Abstract: A non-stationary time series model using a likelihood function as a function of input data, base demand parameters, and time dependent parameter. The likelihood function may represent any statistical distribution. The likelihood function uses a prior probability distribution to provide information external to the input data and is used to control the model. In one embodiment the prior is a function of adjacent time periods of the demand profile. The base demand parameters and time dependent parameter are solved using a multi-diagonal band matrix. The solution of base demand parameters and time dependent parameter involves making estimates thereof in an iterative manner until the base demand parameters and time dependent parameter each converge. A non-stationary time series model is provided from an expression using the solution of the base demand parameters and time dependent parameter. The non-stationary time series model provides a demand forecast as a function of time.

Abstract: A computer system is provided which models financial products such as demand deposits and time deposits. The computer system collects transactional data related to a plurality of financial products. The demand model includes an acquisition model, average balance model, and time demand renewable model for predicting customer responses to changes in interest rate based on the transactional data. The demand model evaluates consumer response through account opening, balance variations, and time deposit renewals. The demand model can also predict effects of cannibalization, seasonality, promotions, and time-dependent demand on the financial products. The cannibalization model estimates model parameters by demand group level, categorical level, and multicurrency level. The interest rate is optimized for each of the financial products by utilizing one or more of the acquisition, average balance, time demand renewable, cannibalization, seasonality, promotional, and time-dependent models.
