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

Patent number: 12184798Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a dynamic value appended to cookie data for fraud detection and step-up authentication. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may utilize computer cookies for authentication and/or login for a user account. In order to further secure cookies from being compromised and used by malicious parties for fraudulent account access, the service provider may add or append a dynamic value that changes at each subsequent login to the computer cookie. The dynamic value may be used so that if a computer cookie is misappropriated, only one device may use the cookie once without the cookie updating and invalidating the cookie with another device or application on the device. Thereafter, when a login is requested, the dynamic value is matched to an expected value by the service provider when determining whether to authenticate the device.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Adam Cohen, Yuval Bercovich

Patent number: 12184730Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for determining processing weights of rule variables for rule processing optimization. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may utilize different decision services that implement rules for decision-making of data including real-time data in production computing environments. Rules may correspond to coded statements that perform an automated decision-making service for the computing services and platforms of the service provider. When writing rules, different variables for data objects may be utilized, where each variable may perform a different operation and/or utilize a different operation for fetching and retrieving data used during rule processing. Each variable may therefore have a different data processing weights based on processing requirements of the data. Thus, optimization of rule authoring may be performed by mapping variables to other similar variables and showing a processing weight of each variable.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: PAYPAL, INC.Inventors: Prabin Patodia, Shikha Gupta, Sumit Kumar

Patent number: 12183350Abstract: Techniques for detecting a fraudulent attempt by an adversarial user to voice verify as a user are presented. An authenticator component can determine characteristics of voice information received in connection with a user account based on analysis of the voice information. In response to determining the characteristics sufficiently match characteristics of a voice print associated with the user account, authenticator component can determine a similarity score based on comparing the characteristics of the voice information and other characteristics of a set of previously stored voice prints associated with the user account. Authenticator component can determine whether the similarity score is higher than a threshold similarity score to indicate whether the voice information is a replay of a recording or a deep fake emulation of the voice of the user. Above the threshold can indicate the voice information is fraudulent, and below the threshold can indicate the voice information is valid.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2021Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Karl Anton Hennig, Ajay Aswal, Bisrat Zerihun
