Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods, apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles for false positive reduction in abnormality detection models. A date and time of a first transaction by a transaction entity and associated with a transaction characteristic can be stored. Data representing subsequent transactions associated with the transaction characteristic can be stored. A history marker profile specific to the transaction characteristic and transaction entity can be generated and can include the transaction characteristic, the date and time of the first transaction, and maximum and mean abnormality scores. A date and time of a current transaction can be determined. A current abnormality score for the current transaction can be received. A tenure of the observed transaction characteristic can be computed.

Abstract: A merchant profile builder (MPB) is provided. The complete merchant profiling process is split into three pieces: Data Preprocessing, Weekly Summary Calculation, and Merchant Profile Calculation. In the Data Preprocessing stage, authorization data and daily fraud data are processed on a weekly basis to yield: an authorization extract file and fraud authorization data, each of which are sorted by a merchant key. In the Weekly Summary Calculation stage, the files output by the Data Preprocessing stage are used as input to compile basic statistics for each merchant based only on data for one week. There are separate weekly summaries for authorizations and fraud authorizations. In the Merchant Profile Calculation stage, the weekly summaries from the 16 most recent weeks are combined together and averages are calculated and output a set of merchant profiles and a set of default profiles.
