  • Patent number: 11941065
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating record clusters. The methods comprise receiving a plurality of records from data sources and providing at least a subset of the records to a scoring model that determines scores for various pairings of the records, a score for a given pair of the records representing a probability that the given pair of records contain data elements about the same entity. The method further comprises generating a graph data structure that includes a plurality of nodes, individual nodes representing a different record from the records. The method also comprises assigning a different unique identifier to individual clusters of the final clusters and responding to a request for data regarding a given entity by providing aggregated data elements from those records of the records associated with a cluster of the final clusters having an identifier that represents the given entity.

  • Patent number: 11880377
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for identifying a target entity that a user intends to refer to based on input that may include only a partial name of the entity. A system may receive a user's entity search query, which may include a partial entity name, then may determine initial candidate matching entities and associated name match scores for each of the initial candidate matching entities relative to the input string, such as using string matching or fuzzy matching techniques. The system may apply a probability match model to generate an overall match score for individual ones of the initial candidate matching entities, then may generate a response to the entity search query that includes information regarding one or more of the initial candidate matching entities with an overall match score exceeding a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210241120
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing machine learning techniques to distinguish a real identity, such as a set of identity information representing a real person, from a synthetic identity that may include portions of real identity information. Attributes regarding a target identity derived from a variety of retrieved data records may be provided as input to multiple machine learning models that generate scores associated with the potential of the target identity being synthetic. The scores may be combined and compared to a threshold to generate a determination of whether the target identity is a synthetic identity.

  • Patent number: 11010345
    Abstract: The features relate to artificial intelligence directed compression of user event data based on complex analysis of user event data including latent feature detection and clustering. Further features are described for reducing the size of data transmitted during event processing data flows and devices such as card readers or point of sale systems. Machine learning features for dynamically determining an optimal compression as well as identifying targeted users and providing content to the targeted users based on the compressed data are also included.

  • Patent number: 10445152
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are disclosed for accessing and traversing disparate, complex, and multi-dimensional data structures to dynamically and interactively generate reports based on automated modeling of complex and non-uniformly formatted data. Automated analysis of probabilistic functions and temporal-based data records enable non-technical users to quickly and dynamically act on time-sensitive information. In response to various user inputs, the system automatically accesses and traverses complex data structures (including, for example, frequency distribution models) calculates complex data based on the traversals, displays the calculated complex data to the user, and enters the calculated complex data into the reports.

  • Publication number: 20060149674
    Abstract: A method for identifying a fraudulent account application includes receiving a new account application comprising a plurality of identity-related fields and linking the identity-related fields associated with the new account application with identity-related fields associated with a plurality of historical account applications. The links form a graphical pattern on which statistical analysis can be performed to determine the likelihood that the new account application is fraudulent. The statistical analysis can comprise comparing the graphical pattern to a known, or normal graphical pattern in order to detect differences, or anomalies occurring in the graphical pattern associated with the new account application.
