  • Publication number: 20240037427
    Abstract: A computing system may generate a first set of importance metrics (e.g., scores or values) for a model. The importance metrics may be generated using an explainable artificial intelligence technique, and an individual importance metric may indicate how influential a corresponding feature is for a decision made by a model. The computing system may determine an important feature and create a modified dataset by removing the important feature from the dataset. The computing system may train the model on the modified dataset and evaluate the performance of the model to determine the effect of removing the feature (e.g., which may indicate how important the feature is to output generated by the model). This process may be repeated for additional features and additional performance metrics may be obtained.

  • Patent number: 11886571
    Abstract: An entity may generate digital account credentials when a new account is approved for generation by an authorizing entity that controls or issues new accounts. A user may contact an authorizing entity to open a new account with the authorizing entity. The authorizing entity may authenticate the user and may approve a new account to be generated for the user. The user may wish to conduct transactions immediately upon approval. However, the authorizing entity may not immediately generate a physical identification device along with an actual account identifier associated with the new account. An intermediary entity may generate digital account credentials for the new account immediately after the authorizing entity approves generation of the new account, provide the digital account credentials to the account holder, and process transactions using the digital account credentials.

  • Patent number: 11887116
    Abstract: Authentication systems and methods using orientation sensor-enabled payment cards are disclosed herein where a server receives an authorization request from a web server or an electronic terminal. The server then transmits an instruction to the orientation sensor to determine whether the payment card has an orientation that is consistent with a predetermined orientation. When the payment card has an orientation consistent with the predetermined orientation, the server executes a first authentication protocol. However, if the payment card has an orientation that is not consistent with the predetermined orientation, the server executes a second authentication protocol that is more restrictive than the first authentication protocol.
