  • Publication number: 20240127373
    Abstract: A method and system include identifying, by a processor, departing flight information that designates departure airports and departure times in payment card transaction data of a plurality of users. Airport-specific data for a departure airport before a departure time of a departing flight of a user from the plurality of users is received. The airport-specific data is inputted into a machine learning model that outputs a user-specific airport processing time for the user to reach a departure gate upon arriving to the departure airport. A travel time from a geographical location of the computing device of the user to the departure airport is received from a navigation system. The computing device displays a time for the user to start travel to the departure airport based on the user-specific airport processing time and the travel time to the departure airport for the user to reach the departure gate by the departure time.

  • Patent number: 11915313
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240061846
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230419324
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments concern user authentication and detecting fraud at a card reader before an unauthorized transaction occurs based on card movement. A sensor can capture the movement of a card within proximity of a card reader that captures financial data from a card issued to a user. Card movement can correspond to the card's speed, acceleration, or motion during physical presentation of the card to the card reader. Card movement data associated with the card movement can be captured and compared to pre-stored data associated with an owner of the card to create a comparison result. A card user can be authenticated when the comparison result satisfies a predetermined threshold. Authorization of a transaction can then be performed based on an authenticated identity of the card user.
