  • Patent number: 11269827
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes a database and a processor in communication with the database. The processor is configured to maintain a data structure comprising historical value data and historical condition data and receive a query requesting a streamlined process. The processor is further configured to, based on the query, make a first assessment whether a submitted value ratio is within a predetermined range of a modeled value ratio; make a second assessment whether the modeled value ratio exceeds a predetermined maximum; and, based on the first assessment and the second assessment, assign a first flag to the query. The processor is further configured to based on the query, instantiate a condition model by obtaining the historical condition data; assign a second flag to the query; and based on the first flag and the second flag, determine whether to assign the query to the streamlined process.

  • Patent number: 11257147
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for selecting loan payment terms for improved loan quality and risk management. An exemplary embodiment includes storing first loan data corresponding to a first loan to a first borrower. The first loan may have been funded based on an initial financial disclosure that reflects the financial status of the first borrower during an initial time period when the first loan was funded. First payment terms and second payment terms are stored, and one of the first payment terms or the second payment terms is selected based on whether the first borrower provides the updated financial disclosure. The first loan data is processed consistently with the selected payment terms.

  • Patent number: 11238065
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to knowledge generation and implementation. A knowledge graph system comprises at least one processor, at least one database communicatively connected to the at least one processor, and a memory storing executable instructions. When executed, the instructions cause the at least one processor to aggregate, from the at least one database, entity data for a plurality of homes. Attribute information identifying geographic locations of the plurality of homes and relationships between pairs of the plurality of homes is extracted from the aggregated data. Knowledge graph data structures are populated with the extracted attribute information. A home knowledge graph is built, having nodes corresponding to the plurality of homes and edges corresponding to the identified relationships. A hierarchical cluster tree structure of the plurality of homes is outputted, wherein levels of the hierarchical cluster tree correspond to clusters of homes determined based in part on the knowledge graph edges.

  • Patent number: 11005910
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for extracting data from web applications. An exemplary embodiment includes monitoring web traffic between a client terminal and a server, the web traffic corresponding to a user's interaction with a web browser to send a request for data, such as a web page, from the client terminal to the server. A data log is created reflecting the monitored web traffic, and processed to extract the request for data. A command is generated for accessing the server based on the request for the data that was extracted from the data log. When the generated command is executed, it downloads the data from the server to the client terminal. Some embodiments are able to specify a pattern to search for in the downloaded web page, search the downloaded data for the pattern to identify data of interest and provide the identified data to a user.

  • Patent number: 10963958
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and products for assessing collateral data, including appraisal data, and providing timely notification of any problems or anomalies identified for the collateral. A central server may access collateral data from a remote data source, apply rules to the collateral data to detect problems, and then create a notification describing the problems. The central server may rapidly transmit the notification to remote computing devices that were registered by a lender, so that the lender may act quickly to remediate the problems. A collateral viewer application that interacts with the notifications may also be provided to lenders.

  • Patent number: 10937091
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are described for estimating real estate property values based on an adjusted repeat sales model using a regularized estimator. In one exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method calculates data for estimating the adjustments from an aggregated level to a first disaggregated level by marking a first transaction to a second transaction using a repeat sales house price index function at the aggregated level. The method also determines, using the calculated data, a regularized estimate of the deviation between the repeat sales house price index at the aggregated level and a repeat sales house price index at the first disaggregated level. The method further calculates the repeat sales house price index at the first disaggregated level based on the determined regularized estimate of the deviation from the aggregated level.

  • Patent number: 10846794
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for directing cash flows associated with a mortgage-backed security to back other securities without collapsing the original mortgage-backed security. A mortgage-backed security/an/or a set of loans is analyzed to identify cash flows from mortgages having specific desirable characteristics, and the cash flows are directed to subgroups or pools that support new mortgage-backed securities. The new securities make the desirable cash flows available to an issuer or prospective investor without collapsing the original mortgage-backed security.
