  • Patent number: 11455751
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for computer vision modeling are provided. The method identifies a set of transactions. A set of categorical behavior transaction types are determined for the set of transactions. The set of categorical behavior transaction types are mapped to a set of colors in a color coordinate system.

  • Publication number: 20220058341
    Abstract: A semantic, machine readable language part that supports the specification of features is used by an engine that interprets that language to produce the features based on the raw data. In this way, the model developer can specify the measurement columns (for example, data fields), to obtain the dimensions from which the engine can compute the multiple combinations of features possible based on this set of input fields. This computation of features can be used to perform machine learning (ML) training and/or scoring algorithms (for example, ML algorithms for fraud detection).
