  • Patent number: 11804302
    Abstract: A sensitivity index model for predicting the sensitivity of an entity to a potential future disruption can be trained using a process that includes dividing a population of entities for which data attributes are available into matched pairs in a first sub-population and a second sup-population based on matching propensity scores for the entities using supervised machine learning, modeling outcomes for the two sub-populations, using the resultant models to calculate expected performances of the entities under differing conditions, and generating the sensitivity index model using supervised learning techniques based on quantification of differences between the calculated expected performances for the entities.

  • Patent number: 11775987
    Abstract: A method includes displaying on a graphic user interface (GUI) of a computing device of a user, a log of computing operations performed by the user at computing terminals of entity servers respectively managed by entities. The user uses a unique authorization identifier provided by the authorizing entity to authorize the computing operations at the computing terminals of the entity servers. The user provides a fraud indication through the GUI that at least one computing operation in the log is fraudulent. Memory-jogging visual units are displayed on the GUI to the user that cause the user to recall performing the at least one computing operation identified as being fraudulent. An entry of the at least one computing operation in an operation database is marked as a valid operation authorized by the user when receiving a recognition indication and potentially fraudulent when no recognition indication by the user.

  • Patent number: 11657348
    Abstract: A device includes a memory configured to store prioritization thresholds. The prioritization thresholds include one or both of threshold values and threshold ranges associated with an age and an amount of exceptions. A processor of the device receives exceptions associated with operation of at least a portion of the plurality of ATMs. For each exception of the plurality of exceptions, the processor determines, based on a comparison of an age property of the exception to an age threshold of the prioritization thresholds, an age score for the exception. The processor determines, based on a comparison of an amount property of the exception to an amount threshold of the prioritization thresholds, an amount score for the exception. Based on the age and amount scores, a prioritization score is determined for the exception which corresponds to a measure of an order in which action should be taken to resolve the exception.

  • Patent number: 11657296
    Abstract: The embodiments the systems and methods described herein attempt to optimally select a group or portfolio of control locations for each test location. The optimization can be generally performed in two steps. First, an objective function is defined that scores the similarity of a set of control locations averaged together. Second, given the large number of potential solutions, a computationally-feasible algorithm that identifies an optimal set of control locations and is based on the objective function is executed. In order to obtain the optimal set of control locations in an efficient manner for use in business analytics, the algorithm may use a hill-climbing algorithm. As a result, an optimization function can be incrementally improved in an efficient manner.
