Patent number: 11900382Abstract: A method for detecting fraudulent transactions includes generation of a graph including a plurality of nodes and a plurality edges between the plurality of nodes based on historical transaction data of a plurality of historical transactions. The plurality of nodes include a set of merchant nodes and a set of consumer nodes. A set of static features and a plurality of dynamic features are determined based on the historical transaction data and the generated graph, respectively. A neural network is trained based on the set of static features and the plurality of dynamic features for detection of transaction fraud. The neural network is used to detect a first transaction as one of a fraudulent transaction or a legitimate transaction based on first transaction data of the first transaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Ankur Arora, Vikas Bishnoi, Gaurav Dhama, Hardik Wadhwa

Patent number: 11900336Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating fraud include a processor for performing steps including receiving a digital image of a receipt and utilizing an optical character recognition model to encode a digital representation of transaction information from the receipt. The processor extracts a payee feature, an amount feature, and a payment date feature from the transaction data, and generating a receipt feature vector from the payee feature, the amount feature and the payment date feature. The processor receives historical transaction data representing historical transactions, generates a transaction feature vector for each historical transaction and then utilizes a machine learning model to predict a matching transaction from the transaction history that matches the receipt based on the receipt feature vector and each of the transaction feature vectors to determine a difference between the payment amount of the receipt and the payment authorization of the matching transaction.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2020Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventor: Bryan Rosenthal
