Publication number: 20210217102Abstract: A method that predicts business income from user transaction data. A multinomial classifier is trained, using a vector of features from data related to a historical transaction and a label associated with the historical transaction, to generate a probability that the historical transaction belongs to a specific classification with respect to income. Data related to a new transaction is split into a set of unigrams. A new vector of features is generated from the data related to the new transaction. The new vector includes a set of values that correspond and are assigned to the set of unigrams. A classification with respect to income is determined for the new transaction by applying the multinomial classifier to the new vector. The new transaction is labeled with the classification. One or more fields of a form that is maintained by an online service is populated using the classification.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Applicant: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Meng Chen, Lei Pei, Zachary Grove Jennings, Ngoc Nhung Thi Ho

Patent number: 11061934Abstract: The invention relates to a method for characterizing time series. The method includes obtaining a time series that includes data points for consecutive time intervals, decomposing the time series into a trend component, a seasonal component, and a residual component, and clustering the seasonal component into a number of clusters. Each of the consecutive time intervals is assigned to one of the clusters based on a level of the data points of the seasonality component in the time interval. The method further includes labeling one of the clusters as baseline with the baseline cluster containing more time intervals than any one of the other clusters, determining cluster labels for the other clusters based on the level of the data points of the time intervals assigned to the other clusters; and for each time interval, storing the corresponding cluster label in a vector.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Zhicheng Xue, Steve Shibuya

Publication number: 20210209513Abstract: A machine learning system executed by a processor may generate predictions for a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. The machine learning system may include a single deployment implementing a parameter efficient transfer learning architecture. The machine learning system may use adapter layers to dynamically modify a base model to generate a plurality of fine-tuned models. Each fine-tuned model may generate predictions for a specific NLP task. By transferring knowledge from the base model to each fine-tuned model, the ML system achieves a significant reduction in the number of tunable parameters required to generate a fine-tuned NLP model and decreases the fine-tuned model artifact size. Additionally, the ML system reduces training times for fine-tuned NLP models, promotes transfer learning across NLP tasks with lower labeled data volumes, and enables easier and more computationally efficient deployments for multi-task NLP.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2020Publication date: July 8, 2021Applicant: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Terrence J.

Patent number: 11055714Abstract: A method and a system for fingerprinting signatures and enhanced signature capturing for charge card transactions on mobile communication devices identify and transform a signature into a normalized representation such as a bytestream including coordinate data and combine the normalized representation with some transaction information into combined data. The combined data is further transformed into fixed length data stored for further analyses or uses. Upon the receipt of a dispute, the stored representation(s) of the signature and some of the stored transaction information of the transaction in dispute may be transformed into a first fixed length data. The first fixed length data may be further compared with the stored fixed length data obtained at the time of the transaction to resolve the dispute. The representations of signatures of multiple transactions may be used to determine whether these multiple transactions belong to the same category or to different categories.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2019Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Sergey Kolupaev, Sergey Aldoukhov, Alexander V.

Patent number: 11055772Abstract: The method and system involves instant loan decisions by generating a risk profile of a small business (SMB). The risk profile is generated based on accounting data and other third party business management application (BMA) data of the SMB. In particular, the accounting data and other third party BMA data are retrieved from a BMA (e.g., accounting application, payroll application, tax preparation application, personnel application, etc.) as a software-as-an-service (SaaS) used by the SMB. Specifically, the risk profile represents the likelihood of the SMB to be delinquent and/or to default on a loan. The risk profile is then provided to a lender for making an expedient lending decision with respect to the SMB. In addition, statistics of lenders' lending decisions based on provided risk profiles are analyzed to generate a correlation. Accordingly, the algorithm(s) used to generate the risk profile from the accounting data and other third party BMA data are adjusted to maximize the correlation.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Siddharth Ram, Richard N. Preece, Joseph Timothy Callinan, Jr., Kathy Tsitovich, Eva Diane Chang

Patent number: 11055793Abstract: Modular computerized tax return preparation systems that allow tax data determinations to be performed when the user indicates that tax data will not be entered, which may be for various reasons including the user declining to provide personal information (such as a social security number or other personal identification information), not knowing the requested data, or not having the requested data readily available. A user interface controller presents an interview screen requesting data tax return data and the user responds that the requested data applies to the user but is not being entered or will be entered at a later time. A placeholder is generated or selected for interim use until the requested data is provided by the user, and when provided, tax data determinations and calculations can be repeated as necessary if the provided data differs from the placeholder.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2015Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: INTUIT INC.Inventors: Gang Wang, Jay J.

Publication number: 20210201581Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for manipulating virtual objects in a virtual reality (VR) environment. In some implementations, an augmented reality (AR) system determines an orientation of a physical object in the real-world space based at least in part on images or video of the physical object captured by an image capture device, and generates a virtual object representative of the physical object based at least in part on the orientation and the at least one detected feature. The AR system detects movement of the physical object in the real-world space based at least in part on the captured images or video, and manipulates the virtual object based at least in part on the detected movements of the physical object. In some aspects, the AR system can determine the orientation and detect movement of the physical object without receiving control signals or communications from the physical object.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2019Publication date: July 1, 2021Applicant: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Yuhua Xie, Phouphet Sihavong, Roger Meike
