Abstract: Systems and methods for determining elevation based on structural modeling and light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data are disclosure. LIDAR bare earth data corresponding to an area within a parcel boundary is obtained as preliminary elevation data. A basis of structure boundary is determined for a structure within the parcel boundary based on an absence of the LIDAR bare earth data within a region in the area. Three-dimensional models are generated based on photographic data, to represent portions of the structure that affect LIDAR signals. A structure boundary for the structure is determined based on the basis of structure boundary in combination with supplemental elevation data generated using the three-dimensional models. Adjacent grade values are determined based on a portion of the preliminary elevation data and supplemental elevation data corresponding to an area between the structure boundary and a buffer boundary.

Abstract: A flexible advance system allows users to request and receive advances instantly. The flexible advance system facilitates intra-system transfers between a third-party entity and employee accounts at a third-party system by generating and providing funding instructions to the third-party entity. Funding instructions include a funding amount that the flexible advance system predicts using one or more machine-learned models that account for seasonality and time delays. In executing the instructions from the flexible advance system, the third-party entity transfers funds to its entity account with the third-party system based on the funding amount. Once the flexible advance system receives an indication that the third-party entity has executed the instructions, the flexible advance system authorizes users of the flexible advance system to request short-term advances.
