Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting changes in real estate properties for a public safety purpose. An example method includes receiving images of a residential or commercial property and comparing pairs of received images corresponding to different dates to detect structural changes to the property. The method further includes accessing a property permit database to identify unpermitted structural changes and triggering an anomaly check directed at detecting: a first anomaly associated with the type of unpermitted change; a second anomaly associated with an individual residing on the property; and a third anomaly associated with the property based on a public-safety record. The method further includes, in response to at least one of the first, second, and third anomalies having been detected, performing at least one specific automated responsive action through the corresponding system.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for automated, secure, and credential-less evaluation (e.g., grading) of data processing task results (e.g., student/learner data processing lab result or assignment completion result) in a cloud environment using a learning management system (LMS). For example, a method includes detecting verification request code received from an account of a data consumer. The verification request code includes a call to an external function and a query statement associated with a task result obtained after completion of a data processing task. The verification request code is revised with metadata to obtain revised verification request code. The call to the external function is executed to cause an evaluation of the task result. A notification of a result of the evaluation is communicated to the account of the data consumer.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods, according to various embodiments, comprise: (1) integrating a privacy management system with DLP tools; (2) using the DLP tools to identify sensitive information that is stored in computer memory outside of the context of the privacy management system; and (3) in response to the sensitive data being discovered by the DLP tool, displaying each area of sensitive data to a privacy officer (e.g., similar to pending transactions in a checking account that have not been reconciled). A designated privacy officer may then select a particular entry and either match it up (e.g., reconcile it) with an existing data flow or campaign in the privacy management system, or trigger a new privacy assessment to be done on the data to capture the related privacy attributes and data flow information.
