Abstract: A computerized automated parameterization image pattern detection and classification method performs (1) morphological metrics learning using labeled region data to generate morphological metrics; (2) intensity metrics learning using learning image and labeled region data to generate intensity metrics; and (3) population learning using the morphological metrics and the intensity metrics to generate learned pattern detection parameter. The method may further update the learned pattern detection parameter using additional labeled region data and learning image, and apply pattern detection with optional user parameter adjustment to image data to generate detected pattern. The method may alternatively perform pixel parameter learning and pixel classification to generate pixel class confidence, and uses the pixel class confidence and the labeled region data to perform pattern parameter learning to generate the learned pattern detection parameter.

Abstract: A computerized efficient machine learning method for classification of data and new class discovery inputs labeled data and unlabeled data into a computer memory for a computerized machine tool to perform (a) initial supervised learning using the labeled data to generate a classifier, (b) semi-supervised learning using the labeled data, the classifier and the unlabeled data to generate an updated classifier and high confidence data, (c) active learning using the updated classifier and the unlabeled data to generate a data label request and receive new class labeled data to generate augmented labeled data, (d) new class discovery using the updated classifier and the data label request to generate data of potential new classes and receive labels for potential new class data to generate new class labeled data, and (e) supervised learning using the high confidence data, the labeled data and the augmented labeled data to generate an output classifier.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods within existing business and technology infrastructures and processes for facilitating an electronic transaction including payment by an account issuer to a merchant for online purchases by a consumer. The invention uses a web services model including request and response messages to provide simplified authentication and authorization through entry of the consumer's PIN, without the release of the consumer's account or billing information to the merchant. The invention reduces authorization processing, and reduces the transaction fees for online transactions, increasing the viability of lower value transactions.
