  • Patent number: 11989643
    Abstract: A process for handling interleaved sequences using RNNs includes receiving data of a first transaction, retrieving a first state (e.g., a default or a saved RNN state for an entity associated with the first transaction), and determining a new second state and a prediction result using the first state and an input data based on the first transaction. The process includes updating the saved RNN state for the entity to be the second state. The process includes receiving data of a second transaction, where the second transaction is associated with the same entity as the first transaction. The process unloops an RNN associated with the saved RNN state including by: retrieving the second state, determining a new third state and a prediction result using the second state and an input data based the second transaction, and updating the saved RNN state for the entity to be the third state.

  • Publication number: 20220222167
    Abstract: One or more events of a data stream are received. For each feature of a set of features, the one or more events are used to update a corresponding distribution of data from the data stream. For each feature of the set of features, the corresponding updated distribution and a corresponding reference distribution are used to determine a corresponding divergence value. For each feature of the set of features, the corresponding determined divergence value and a corresponding distribution of divergences are used to determine a corresponding statistical value. Using the statistical values each corresponding to a different feature of the set of features, a statistical analysis is performed to determine a result associated with a likelihood of data drift detection.
