  • Patent number: 11574234
    Abstract: A model governance framework uses a shared ledger on the back of a blockchain. The solution tracks various analytic tracking documents (ATDs) and associated assets, like requirements and sprints, through various stages of an ATD lifecycle. Data schema and data distributions are also tracked. The decision models, corresponding variables and execution codes are also tracked. Existing variables and execution codes are made available via a preexisting asset ATD for reuse. Various transactions provide mechanism for accessing and manipulating the various assets through a recorded ledger of events and approvals. A system provides tracking of the approvals and the approvers of all model assets that are touched by any participant, and further provides access control and security for multi-user access. An application layer provides graphical access to the various aspects of the blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11423414
    Abstract: An automated system for detecting risky entity behavior using an efficient frequent behavior-sorted list is disclosed. From these lists, fingerprints and distance measures can be constructed to enable comparison to known risky entities. The lists also facilitate efficient linking of entities to each other, such that risk information propagates through entity associations. These behavior sorted lists, in combination with other profiling techniques, which efficiently summarize information about the entity within a data store, can be used to create threat scores. These threat scores may be applied within the context of anti-money laundering (AML) and retail banking fraud detection systems. A particular instantiation of these scores elaborated here is the AML Threat Score, which is trained to identify behavior for a banking customer that is suspicious and indicates high likelihood of money laundering activity.

  • Patent number: 11392374
    Abstract: A configuration package receives user-generated input that configures a decision service to generate decision data. The configuration package includes artifacts and the user-generated input selects the artifacts from an artifact library in a configuration database. A configured decision service is generated, where the generating includes receiving, by a decision service factory, the configuration package. Also, the decision service factory receives a decision template including configurable decision elements and non-configurable decision elements. Further, the decision service factory receives a user configuration specifying a parameter in the corresponding artifact. The artifact from the configuration package, the user configuration and the decision template are combined to generate the configured decision service. The configured decision service receives, from a client computer, input for each of the configurable decision elements.

  • Patent number: 11373109
    Abstract: In transactional systems where past transactions can have impact on the current score of a machine learning based decision model, the transactions that are most responsible for the score and the associated reasons are determined by the transactional system. A system and method identifies such past transactions that maximally impact the current score and allow for a more effective understanding of the scores generated by a model in a transactional system and explanation of specific transactions for automated decisioning, to explain the scores in terms of past transactions. Further an existing instance-based explanation system is used to identify the reasons for the score, and how the identified transactions influence these reasons. A combination of impact on score and impact on reasons determines the most impactful past transaction with respect to the most recent score being explained.

  • Patent number: 11367074
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed, to distinguish fraudulent transactions from a legitimate transaction, predicated on the notion that the card is considered likely to be in state of fraud. The disclosed system and method can be activated as soon as an account has suspicious activity that causes a high score for potential fraud, but before a bank either can or needs to confirm fraud. The system or method is able to pinpoint the actual fraudulent transactions inside a window of potential fraudulent activity, using a specialized model referred to as the pinpoint model.
