  • Patent number: 11921697
    Abstract: Disclosed are implementations that include a method for detecting anomalous data, including converting a set of data values representative of a multi-dimensional item into a nodes-and-edges graph representation of the item, applying a graph convolution process to the graph representation to generate a transformed graph representation for the item comprising a resultant transformed configuration of the nodes and edges representing the item, and determining, based on the transformed configuration, a probability that the item is anomalous. Another example method includes receiving input data at a neural network circuit comprising a plurality of node layers, with each of the plurality of node layers comprising respective one or more nodes, with the neural network circuit further comprising adjustable weighted connections connecting at least some nodes in different layers of the plurality of node layers. The method further includes removing one or more of the weighted connections at one or more time instances.

  • Publication number: 20140108251
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for determining a fraudulent payment transaction in a collaborative environment is provided. A collaborative database, accessible by multiple reviewing entities via a network, receives and stores transaction history data of payment transactions from the reviewing entities. A collaborative fraud prevention platform (CFPP) receives a fraud determination query associated with a transaction request associated with a consumer account. The CFPP performs a search in the collaborative database based on the fraud determination query by comparing current transaction data from the transaction request with the stored transaction history data, performs an analysis of characteristics of the consumer account, and generates a fraud determination report based on the comparison and analysis.
