Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for merchant data cleansing in payment network. Method performed by server system includes accessing electronic payment transaction records from transaction database. Each electronic payment transaction record includes merchant data fields. Method includes determining set of electronic payment transaction records with ambiguous merchant data fields having matching probability scores less than predetermined threshold value computed by probabilistic matching model and identifying at least one issue for non-matching of each of set of electronic payment transaction records. Method includes determining data model based on at least one issue of each of set of electronic payment transaction records. Data model is one of: phone-to-city model, payment aggregator model, and merchant name normalization model.

Abstract: Methods and server systems for computing fraud risk scores for various merchants associated with an acquirer described herein. The method performed by a server system includes accessing merchant-related transaction data including merchant-related transaction indicators associated with a merchant from a transaction database. Method includes generating a merchant-related transaction features based on the merchant-related indicators. Method includes generating via risk prediction models, for a payment transaction with the merchant, merchant health and compliance risk scores, merchant terminal risk scores, merchant chargeback risk scores, and merchant activity risk scores based on the merchant-related transaction features. Method includes facilitating transmission of a notification message to an acquirer server associated with the merchant.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for processing layers in a neural network fetch Input Feature Map (IFM) tiles of an IFM tensor and kernel tiles of a kernel tensor, perform a convolutional operation on the IFM tiles and the kernel tiles by exploiting IFM sparsity and kernel sparsity, and generate a plurality of OFM tiles corresponding to the IFM tiles.

Abstract: A system and method are described for profiling a distribution of forces transferred from the body weight and the residual limb of a wearer of a prosthetic socket through the socket. The system may include a prosthetic socket, a sensor network comprising multiple sensors coupled with the prosthetic socket in a pattern defining multiple internal regions within the prosthetic socket, and a processor coupled with the sensor network and configured to receive sensed data from the sensor network, divide the sensed data into groups corresponding to the multiple internal regions within the prosthetic socket, and process the sensed data to provide force distribution profile data corresponding to the force distribution profile.
