Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods of modeling card member data to classify a card member into one of a plurality of classifications based on interchange fees derived from the use of a card issued to the card member. The modeling may handle data distribution from one time period to another time period to address unavailability and/or variability of historical data, implement a neural network architecture based on transformers and discriminators for accurate data scaling, perform data filling for missing data, and fine-tuning for card types that have less card member data, which may result in enhanced performance and faster convergence resulting in reduced computational time. Such fine-tuning may leverage uniform standardization in the neural network to handle multiple card types, which is facilitated through the use of the transformers and discriminators for data scaling.

A coordinator accesses probe records for probes transmitted at different times between pairs of machines in the mesh network. For different pairs of machines, the coordinator estimates the drift between the pair of machines based on the transit times of probes transmitted between the pair of machines as indicated by the probe records. For different loops of at least three machines in the mesh network, the coordinator calculates a loop drift error based on a sum of the estimated drifts between pairs of machines around the loop and adjusts the estimated absolute drifts of the machines based on the loop drift errors. Here, the absolute drift is defined relative to a drift of a reference machine.

Utilizing a combination layer that is configured a single time to interact with a trust application at an identity provider. The combination layer is also configured to interact with the service provider and manages the security token and authentication state of the user. The identity provider can create a single long-lived trust application that is only responsible for redirecting to the combination layer, rather than a creating plurality of short-lived applications that redirect to a service provider every time a user login request is received. Thus, resulting in improved utilization of computing resources at the identity provider.
