Patent number: 12216774Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a data control framework that enables storing, sharing, and transferring of data in a secure manner. Data files stored in data repositories are scanned. Content associated with different section of each data file is analyzed, and each section is tagged with a sensitivity level based on the content and a subject matter derived for the data file. Each data file is also assigned to a clearance classification based on an expected viewer of the data file. When sections from a first data file is being transferred to a second data file, a data control mechanism is triggered. If a particular section from the first data file is incompatible with the second data file, the data control mechanism may prevent the particular section from being transferred to the second data file, while allowing the remaining sections being transferred to the second data file.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2023Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: George Chen Kaidi, Li Hua Lim, Rajasekaran Radhakrishnan, Sreeram Vasudevan

Patent number: 12218926Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for time constrained electronic request evaluation. A server system receives, from a computing device, a request submitted via an account, including a first set of characteristics associated with the request. The system executes a first machine-learning model to determine a first risk score for the request by inputting the first set of characteristics into the first model. The system generates an initial authentication decision for the request based on the first score and sends the decision to the device. The system executes a second, different machine-learning model to determine a second risk score for the request, by inputting the first set of characteristics and a second, different set of characteristics associated with the account into the second model. Based on the second score, the system determines a final authentication decision. The disclosed techniques may advantageously improve computer security and operations via identification of malicious electronic requests.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2021Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Vishal Sood, Yegya Narayanan Gopala Krishnan, Sudhindra Murthy, Vidya Sagar Durga, Chirag Gupta

Patent number: 12205115Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for mining data in association with predicting occurrences of events. Upon detecting an occurrence of an event associated with a transaction, a data mining system accesses data associated with different transactions, and generates a decision tree for predicting occurrences of the event based on the data. Using a classification specification, the data mining system traverses the decision tree and prunes at least a portion of the decision tree that does not satisfy the classification specification. The data mining system then extracts data relevant to predicting occurrences of the event from the pruned decision tree. The extracted data includes attributes and/or criteria that are relevant to predicting occurrences of the event. Based on the extracted data, one or more actions can be performed to improve the event prediction process and/or reduce the frequency of the occurrences of the event.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Suraj Arulmozhi, Ashok Subash, Deepak Mohanakumar Chandramouli, Gayathri Baskaran, Romil Varadkar

Patent number: 12198685Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for translating informal utterances into formal texts. Informal utterances may include words in abbreviation forms or typographical errors. The informal utterances may be processed by mapping each word in an utterance into a well-defined token. The mapping from the words to the tokens may be based on a context associated with the utterance derived by analyzing the utterance in a character-by-character basis. The token that is mapped for each word can be one of a vocabulary token that corresponds to a formal word in a pre-defined word corpus, an unknown token that corresponds to an unknown word, or a masked token. Formal text may then be generated based on the mapped tokens. Through the processing of informal utterances using the techniques disclosed herein, the informal utterances are both normalized and sanitized.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Sandro Cavallari, Yuzhen Zhuo, Van Hoang Nguyen, Quan Jin Ferdinand Tang, Gautam Vasappanavara
