Patent number: 11755656Abstract: A processor may receive data and generate a quantified representation of the data by processing the data using at least one machine learning (ML) algorithm, the quantified representation of the data indicating a sentiment of content of the data. The processor may automatically revise the content of the communications data. The revising may include determining a reaction to the content of the communications data, generating a quantified representation of the reaction, determining a difference between the quantified representation of the reaction and the quantified representation of the communications data, identifying, based on the difference, a portion of the content having an unintended sentiment, and replacing the portion of the content with different content.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Phoebe Atkins, Max Miracolo, Joshua Edwards, Brian McClanahan, Alexander Lin, Lin Ni Lisa Cheng, Cruz Vargas

Publication number: 20230252517Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method for automatically providing customized financial card incentives where the system can identify if a transaction is eligible for additional bonus rewards by determining if the user is a student using a clustering algorithm with user similarity data to generate a probability. Then, if the probability is above a predetermined threshold, a machine learning model with comprehensive user data classifies the user as a student or non-student. Once the user is determined to be a student, the transaction is verified as being an educational purchase using the transaction data or by having the user provide an image of a receipt. Once the transaction is verified, the transaction or items within the transaction qualify for additional rewards that are applied to the user’s account. Users who are not identified as students may qualify for a standard amount of rewards.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Jenny Melendez, Joshua Peters, Zachary Sweeney, Samuel Rapowitz, Steven Black, Bryant Yee, Alexander Lin

Publication number: 20230136241Abstract: In some implementations, a system may capture audio from a call between a calling device and a called device. The system may filter the captured audio to generate a background audio layer. The system may generate an audio footprint that is a representation of sound in the background audio layer. The system may determine that the audio footprint includes a triggering sound footprint based on one or more audio characteristics of the audio footprint. The system may detect synthetic sound based on the audio footprint and after determining that the audio footprint includes the triggering sound footprint, wherein the synthetic sound is indicative of a sound recording. The system may transmit a notification to one or more devices associated with the call based on detecting the synthetic sound.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Meredith L. CRITZER, Vahid KHANAGHA, Joshua EDWARDS, Mia RODRIGUEZ, Tyler MAIMAN, Aysu EZEN CAN, Alexander LIN, Michael MOSSOBA, Guadalupe BONILLA, Feng QIU

Publication number: 20230085433Abstract: A system may include processor(s), and memory in communication with the processor(s) and storing instructions configured to cause the system to correct ASR errors. The system may receive a transcription comprising transcribed word(s) and may determine whether the transcribed word(s) exceed associated predefined confidence level(s). Responsive to determining a transcribed word does not exceed a predefined confidence level, the system may generate a predicted word. The system may calculate a distance between numerical representations of the transcribed word and the predicted word and may determine whether the distance exceeds a predefined threshold. Responsive to determining the distance exceeds the predefined threshold, the system may determine whether at least one red flag word of a list of red flag words corresponds to a context of the transcription, and, responsive to making that determination, may classify the transcription as associated with a first category.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Aysu Ezen Can, Feng Qiu, Guadalupe Bonilla, Meredith Leigh Critzer, Michael Mossoba, Alexander Lin, Tyler Maiman, Mia Rodriguez, Vahid Khanagha, Joshua Edwards

Publication number: 20230048345Abstract: In some implementations, a credit decision platform may receive a credit request from an applicant and obtain domestic historical data associated with the applicant from a credit bureau device. The credit decision platform may obtain access to an email account associated with the applicant based on determining that the domestic historical data associated with the applicant is insufficient to process the credit request. The credit decision platform may identify, using one or more machine learning models, a set of email messages included in the email account that are relevant to the credit request and may analyze content included in the set of email messages to generate non-domestic historical data associated with the applicant. The credit decision platform may generate a decision on the credit request based on an estimated creditworthiness of the applicant, which may be determined based on the non-domestic historical data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Lin Ni Lisa CHENG, Joshua EDWARDS, Phoebe ATKINS, Max MIRACOLO, Cruz VARGAS, Brian MCCLANAHAN, Alexander LIN, Louis BUELL, Michael MOSSOBA

Publication number: 20220222260Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe customizing searching. Search queries may be customized according to a user's preferences. A user may emphasize or indicate that additional weight should be given to one or more terms in a search query. Terms that are weighted higher may have a larger impact on the results that are returned in response to the search query. In addition to changing the terms in a search query, a user may provide a weight for each term. Each term in a search query may be weighted to varying degrees, giving a user more control over the results that are returned. The weights may be used with machine learning techniques to generate a vector representation of a search query. The vector representation of the search query may be compared with vector representations of search objects to determine results that match the search query.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2021Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Alexander Lin, Cruz Vargas, Joshua Edwards, Max Miracolo, Mia Rodriguez, Phoebe Atkins
