  • Publication number: 20240061947
    Abstract: A method includes storing a test database of tests and corresponding test rules, storing a user information database, storing a profile database, and storing a threshold database including thresholds corresponding to test scores and similarity scores. The method includes, in response to receiving interaction parameters of an interaction performed by a user, identifying a set of tests based on the interaction parameters. The method includes, for each of the set of tests: calculating a score using user data of the user, corresponding test rules, and the interaction parameters; adjusting the score based on the user's profile; obtaining a threshold corresponding to the identified test; and, in response to the score exceeding the threshold, categorizing the interaction within a first category. The method also includes generating and transmitting an alert in response to the interaction being categorized within the first category.

  • Publication number: 20240054151
    Abstract: A system includes instructions for execution by at least one processor, including, in response to an event, obtaining a first set of alerts stored in the alert database corresponding to a first scenario of a set of scenarios and selecting a first model of a set of models corresponding to the first scenario and identifying a first set of features stored in the features database corresponding to the first scenario. The instructions include, for each alert of the first set of alerts, identifying a first identifier included in the alert, retrieving the first set of features of the first identifier from the parameter database, determining a score using the first model based on the retrieved first set of features, and adding the alert and the score to a result list. The instructions include displaying, on a user device, the result list including the first set of alerts and corresponding scores.
