  • Patent number: 12266158
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for more efficiently and effectively determining the accuracy with which a human evaluates a set of data, as this may reduce the error in the assessment of a model's performance. This can be helpful in situations where human inputs are used to confirm the output of a machine learning generated classification and in situations where it is desired to evaluate the accuracy of data that may have been labeled or annotated by a human curator. This may assist in reducing the need for new validation/test data when evaluating a new model. The system and methods described can be used to evaluate the accuracy of a trained Machine Learning (ML) model, and as a result, allow a comparison between models based on different ML algorithms.

  • Patent number: 12254475
    Abstract: A check processing system detects fraud in real-time by comparing data from presented checks against known check data stored in a Global Check Register (GCR). The system analyzes check images and extracts payee information. Instead of reviewing the entire check for each item of information, a region of interest (ROI) is investigated. The use of an ROI defeats a type of fraud wherein original payee information is placed on the memo line of the check with the payee information changed to a fraudulent payee name. By validating the presented check data against known data points, the system can identify discrepancies and potential fraud in real-time, generating events and notifications for bank employees to take appropriate action in a timely manner.
