  • Publication number: 20240022593
    Abstract: A method executes upon receiving data (email, IP address) associated with an account registration. In response, an encoding is applied to the data to generate a node vector. The node vector indexes a database of such node vectors that the system maintains (from prior registrations). The database potentially includes one or more node vector(s) that may have a given similarity to the encoded node vector. To determine whether there are such vectors present, a set of k-nearest neighbors to the encoded node vector are then obtained from the database. This set of k-nearest neighbors together with the encoded node vector comprise a virtual graph that is then fed as a graph input to a Graph Neural Network previously trained on a set of training data. The GNN generates a probability that the virtual graph represents a NAF. If the probability exceeds a configurable threshold, the system outputs an indication that the registration is potentially fraudulent, and a mitigation action is taken.

  • Publication number: 20230336571
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for real-time new account fraud detection and prevention. The technique leverages machine learning. In this approach, first and second computational branches of a machine learning model are trained jointly on a corpus of emails. Following training, an arbitrary email is received. The arbitrary email is then applied through the computational branches of the machine learning model. The first branch has an attention layer, and the second branch has a convolutional layer. The outputs of the branches are aggregated into an output that is then applied through another self-attention layer to generate a score. Based on the score, the arbitrary email is characterized. If the email is characterized as fraudulent, a mitigation action is taken.

  • Publication number: 20220156367
    Abstract: A system for identifying one or more sub-fields within a field of a given field type, the field comprising a plurality of field bits, and each of the sub-fields comprising a distinct sub-group of the field bits having one or more fixed consecutive bit positions within each instance of a plurality of instances of the field, the system including a processing resource configured to: obtain one or more input time-series, each input time-series of the one or more input time-series including a plurality of input instances of the field; generate one or more 10 new time-series, each new time-series of the generated new time-series being associated with at least one input time-series of the one or more input time-series and including a plurality of new instances of the field; generate a bit-field based on selected instances of the new instances in each new time-series of the generated new time-series; and analyze the bit-field to identify the fixed consecutive bit positions of at least one of the sub-fields within the

  • Publication number: 20220129630
    Abstract: Systems and computerized and computer-implemented methods operate to detect malicious applications (APPs). A method, which is performed on a suitably designed computerized system, comprises: obtaining text associated with an application; inputting a representation of the text into a classifier; and, the classifier processing the representation of the text. The classifier processes the representation of the text by processes including: applying weights to words of the text for which the classifier has provided weights by a words attention process, such that the weighted words of each sentence form a sentence vector; analyzing the sentence vectors by a sentence attention process to obtain a single summary vector for the sentence vectors; and, from the single summary vector, determining a score that the application is malicious.

  • Patent number: 7257468
    Abstract: A measuring apparatus and method for measuring dynamic parameters in a driven bicycle wheel are described. Parameters which are measured are; driven torque, angular velocity, angular acceleration, lateral angular acceleration, and applied power of the driven wheel. The measuring apparatus is affixed to the rear driven cog(s) of a bicycle wheel. One or more strain sensing elements affixed to the rear driven cog(s) detect the applied driven torque. Three or more acceleration sensing integrated circuits are used to determine angular velocity, angular acceleration, and lateral angular acceleration of the driven rear cog. These circuits reside on the primary electronics board and are affixed to the rear driven cog; hence they rotate along with the driven rear cog. Power applied to the driven wheel is derived from the torque and angular velocity measurements of the invention. These performance variables will aid a competitive cyclist to evaluate and observe progress in his or her physical training.

  • Patent number: 6286364
    Abstract: A method and a system for measuring the spin decay rate of a golf ball. The system includes an indoor testing area, a launching device, and a measuring device positioned at a final position along the ball's flight path. When the ball is launched by the launching device, the measuring device measures the spin rate and speed at the final position. Then, the launching device can launch the ball at the speed and spin rate of the final position and a new final speed and spin rate are measured again. The spin rate difference from launching to the final position is used to determine the spin decay rate. By using discrete spin decay rate measurements, the spin decay rate profile of a golf ball during its entire flight can be measured in the indoor area.
