  • Patent number: 11423418
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for fraud review are disclosed. The systems may comprise multi-tiered computing systems which may receive fraud alerts from multiple sources. A computing system in a tier may receive a fraud alert and use one or more fraud risk metrics to determine whether the fraud alert should be escalated. If the computing system determines that the fraud alert should be escalated, the computing system may transmit an escalation message to a higher tier computing system. If the computing system determines that the fraud alert should not be escalated, the computing system may transmit a message to a fraud prevention computing system. In some embodiments, the computing system may determine that the fraud alert is a false positive and transmit a false positive message to the source of the fraud alert such as a lower tier computing system.

  • Patent number: 11410242
    Abstract: Disclosed are method and systems to program a server to identify the value of a fund comprising shares of multiple private entities. The server receives transaction data associated with a fund where the transaction data identifies a proportion of shares within the fund associated with each private entity, price per share of each private entity, and other relevant data. The server then executes multiple artificial intelligence models to identify comparable public entities to each private entity. The server then retrieves stock price data for each public entity and calculates a value for each private entity in real time. The server also displays a value of the fund in real time where identification of each private entity is anonymized.

  • Patent number: 11410144
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein describe intelligent e-book readers which provide a significant improvement over the conventional e-books that simply render static content. The intelligent e-book readers may customize a rendered e-book based on, for example, the reading level and preferences of the user, the user's social media profile and activity, and current events. Furthermore, the intelligent e-book reader may provide additional augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) content associated with one or more portions of the rendered e-book. The intelligent e-book reader may also facilitate virtual, real time communication between multiple users and experts. The intelligent e-book reader may also facilitate one or more users to provide feedback and suggestions to authors and future movie-makers. The intelligent e-book reader may automatically determine difficult portions of an e-book based on the virtual communications and/or real time eye-tracking of a user.

  • Patent number: 11392664
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprises an analytic server, which dynamically predicts future events for web users. The analytic server generates prediction models based on historical click-through analytics data received from the web server. The analytic server captures the current event (e.g., the current operation of the web user) on the web page, and determines the next event by predicting the web user behavior using the prediction models on an event-by-event basis. The analytic server also queries the web user data from a database to better understand the web user's intention, and improve the prediction accuracy. The analytic server modifies the HTML code to display the web page to include a graphical user interface comprising the predicted event. Based on the web users' reactions to the predicted event, the analytic server updates the prediction models.

  • Patent number: 11385821
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein allow data to be transferred from a data source to a target database with little to no offline period or data corruptions. The methods and systems describe a server that generates a temporary data repository having a similar configuration as the target data repository; transmits the set of new data records from the data source to the temporary data repository; identifies dependency relationship attributes among the data records stored within the target data repository; and when the server identifies that a predetermined number of data records and their respective dependent data records are stored within the temporary data records, the server merges the set of data records and the set of new data records. The server also stores a pre/post merger record of data such that the server can revert to a previous version of data or roll forward to another version.

  • Patent number: 11386111
    Abstract: Various systems and methods use a value in a data file for a data process, as the data process is scaled up in terms of dataset dimensionality, data volume, data types, data content, data source quantity, and data source speed, while remaining compliant with ACID principles. As such, these technologies provide for sourcing of data from various data sources, where the data includes the data file storing the value. The data is cleansed and fused, which enables a report to be generated. In response to the value in the data file being modified, the data, inclusive of the data file storing the value, is again cleansed and fused based on the value being modified. This processing in-turn enables the report to modified based on the value being modified.

  • Patent number: 11270384
    Abstract: A DI recovery management system generates a plurality of ranked claimant records and recovery scores. A predictive machine learning model inputs disability income claim data and disability income claimant data into an event history model utilizing discrete-time survival analysis in conjunction with a gradient boosting machine learning model. The claim termination event is one of a plurality of preselected recovery events that indicate that a claimant has achieved return to work capacity. Claimant data used in modeling includes diagnosis data representative of workplace disability duration guidelines. The predictive machine learning model is continually trained using updated disability income claims data. The training procedure transforms claimant records extracted from a DI claims database into a longitudinal format that includes multiple person-year records corresponding to each claimant record.

  • Patent number: 11263279
    Abstract: System and methods for an agent tool that identifies high value targets within a particular area, based on an individual's social media activity are disclosed. A computing device displays a user interface generated by an analysis module, and receives an agent's search criteria. Then, the analysis module scans a plurality of social media sites and selects the profile of individuals according to the search criteria. Next, the analysis module identifies the profile of members who are associated to the profile of each previously selected individual, and compares them with the profile of pleased customers. If both profiles match, then the analysis module has identified a high value target. The system also provides the full profile of each high value target found, when needed. The agent tool identifies high value targets in a simpler, less time-consuming and inexpensive way, while increasing the company's revenue.
