Abstract: A method for executing actions based on event data using machine learning is disclosed. The method comprises: receiving occasion data associated with a user; analyzing, using a trained machine learning model, the occasion data to identify an occasion associated with a first classification, wherein the trained machine learning model has been trained based on (i) training occasion data that includes information regarding one or more occasions associated with the training occasion data and (ii) training classification data that includes a prior classification for each of the occasions, to learn relationships between the training occasion data and the training classification data, such that the trained machine learning model is configured to use the learned relationships to identify an occasion associated with a first classification in response to input of the occasion data; determining an action based on the occasion associated with the first classification; and automatically executing the action.

Abstract: A method for machine-learning based action generation, and more specifically, using machine-learning to dynamically adjust financial account payments and fees. The method may comprise: receiving user data; determining whether a trigger condition has been met; upon determining that a trigger condition has been met, generating, using a trained machine-learning model, one or more actions based on the user data associated with the user, wherein the trained machine-learning model has been trained based on (i) training user data and (ii) training action data, to learn relationships between the training user data and the training actions data, such that the trained machine-learning model is configured to use the learned relationships to generate one or more actions in response to input of the user data associated with the user; selecting a first action of the one or more actions; and automatically executing the first action.

Abstract: A method of controlling access into a vehicle interior from a vehicle exterior using an access door includes generating a digital key signal via a mobile device in possession of a vehicle user. The method also includes receiving, via a virtual key control module (VKCM), the digital key signal from the mobile device and communicating a signal indicative of the received digital key signal to a vehicle controller. The method additionally includes detecting a presence of the vehicle user external to the vehicle within a predetermined proximity of the access door via an ultrasonic sensing arrangement. The method also includes communicating, via the ultrasonic sensing arrangement, the detected presence of the vehicle user to the vehicle controller. Furthermore, the method includes commanding, via the vehicle controller, a mechanism to release the access door in response to the received digital key signal and the detected presence of the vehicle user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for external account authentication are disclosed herein. They include receiving a call to pair the external account with a secure account, extracting external data from the external account, the external data corresponding to external account content, providing user activity data from the secure account as an input to an authentication machine learning model, providing the external data as an input to the authentication machine learning model, the authentication machine learning model configured to output a certainty level that the external account is associated with a user of the secure account based on the external data and the activity data, receiving the certainty level from the authentication machine learning model, determining that the certainty level meets a certainty threshold, and pairing the external account with the secure account based on determining that the certainty level meets the certainty threshold.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracing sewer connections with RFID PIT tags consists of using at least one radio frequency identification (RFID) passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag embedded within a protective outer covering, and at least one RFID reader and antenna system to trace the flow of a fluid within a plumbing system, sewer lateral pipe, sanitary or storm sewer system. The RFID PIT tag and protective outer covering are introduced in one point within the plumbing system, sewer lateral pipe, sanitary or storm sewer system, such as by flushing a toilet. Subsequent collection, or detection of the RFID PIT tag at another location within a sewer lateral pipe, sanitary or storm sewer system is used to establish the presence of a hydraulic connection between the introduction and collection or detection points.
