Patent number: 11315177Abstract: A processor may obtain financial data for a user. The processor may process the financial data to generate feature data indicative of at least one feature. The processor may compare the at least one feature to at least one threshold value to determine that the user has a cognitive bias affecting a financial preference of the user and associated with the at least one threshold value. The at least one threshold value may denote a threshold for membership in a cluster of unlabeled users having the cognitive bias. In response to the comparing, the processor may identify a change applicable to a financial account of the user. The change may be associated with the cognitive bias. The processor may automatically cause the change to be implemented by a network-accessible financial service.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Intuit Inc.Inventors: Kevin Furbish, Nirmala Ranganathan, Aaron Dibner-Dunlap, Sumayah Rahman
