  • Patent number: 12039531
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for identifying diminished capacity of a voice call participant based on audio data analysis. A server generates an audio image based on an audio file comprising speech data corresponding to a first user on a voice call. The server determines a diminished capacity score based on one or more characteristics of the audio image analyzed using a deep learning classification model. The server applies a security protocol to an account associated with the first user when the diminished capacity score is at or above a threshold value. The server receives a transaction request corresponding to the account from the first user. The server processes the transaction request based on the security protocol applied to the account.

  • Patent number: 11995714
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a machine learning loan portfolio loss forecasting system are provided. A current state of active loans of a loan portfolio during a first time period of a set of time periods may be determined. For each of the set of time periods, a roll rate of the active loans from each delinquency state to a subsequent delinquency state may be determined based on historical data of the loan portfolio. The machine learning model may then, iteratively, for each subsequent time period, determine a percentage of the active loans that will transition to each of the set of delinquency states during the subsequent time period based on a current state of the active loans during a previous time period and the roll rate from each delinquency state to a subsequent delinquency state for the subsequent time period.

  • Patent number: 11978064
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of using customer data to determine that geolocation-based fraud alerts are false positives, it may be determined that an electronic fraud alert is a geolocation-based alert generated based upon an unexpected or abnormal transaction location. In response, customer data may be obtained from two or more sources via radio frequency links. It may then be determined that the customer data from the sources indicates that a customer is traveling. In response, it may be determined that a customer location indicated by the customer data corresponds to the transaction location. In response to determining that the customer location corresponds to the transaction location, the electronic fraud alert may be marked as a false positive, and the electronic fraud alert may be prevented from being transmitted to a mobile device of the customer, in order to reduce an amount of false positives that are transmitted to customers.
