  • Patent number: 11949681
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for improving user authentication and access control by a network file system service in a multi-tenant public cloud environment by receiving a request for a connection to a file system from a file system client (client), sending an identification request for identification authentication of the client to a control system, receiving a response from the control system, establishing the connection to the file system upon determining that the connection to the file system is allowed based on cloud tenant information associated with the client, receiving an attempt to access the file system from the client by a sub-user, authenticating the sub-user based on the cloud tenant information, issuing a security token including a globally unique sub-user identifier of the sub-user, and using the security token to determine access rights of the sub-user to the file system for a subsequent request.

  • Patent number: 11908023
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating a user interface to prompt users of a software application to perform an action in the software application. The method generally includes generating historical transaction time gap data for transactions in the account. A probability distribution is generated based on the historical time gap data. The probability distribution represents a probability that a transaction related to the account has been performed after an elapsed time from a previous transaction. A probability that an unrecorded transaction exists for an account based on the probability distribution and a time difference between a most recent transaction and a current time. The probability that an unrecorded transaction exists is determined to exceed a threshold probability, and a user interface is generated and displayed to a user of the software application including a prompt for the user to enter new transactions for the account.

  • Patent number: 11816544
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composite machine learning system for a transaction labeling service. A transaction labeling service receives at least one descriptive string describing a transaction associated with a user. The service identifies a preliminary grouping from a generalized scheme. The service extracts a set of N-grams from the descriptive string and converts the N-grams and the preliminary grouping into a set of features. A machine learning model determines a label from a labeling scheme for the transaction based on the features. User input related to the label includes an accuracy indicator and a reliability indicator. If the reliability indicator satisfies a reliability condition, a set of training data for the machine learning model is updated based on the descriptive string and the label. The machine learning model is then trained against the updated set of training data.

  • Patent number: 11562440
    Abstract: A method that predicts business income from user transaction data. A multinomial classifier is trained, using a vector of features from data related to a historical transaction and a label associated with the historical transaction, to generate a probability that the historical transaction belongs to a specific classification with respect to income. Data related to a new transaction is split into a set of unigrams. A new vector of features is generated from the data related to the new transaction. The new vector includes a set of values that correspond and are assigned to the set of unigrams. A classification with respect to income is determined for the new transaction by applying the multinomial classifier to the new vector. The new transaction is labeled with the classification. One or more fields of a form that is maintained by an online service is populated using the classification.

  • Publication number: 20220277399
    Abstract: A method performs personalized transaction categorization. A transaction record is received, by a server application. In a first stage, sparse raw features are extracted from a transaction record of a transaction and converted into a transaction vector including dense features. In a second stage, the transaction vector is classified into a customized chart of accounts using the dense features to generate adapter model output. The method further includes selecting, an account identifier, corresponding to the transaction record and to an account of the customized chart of accounts, using the adapter model output, and presenting the account identifier for the transaction record.

  • Patent number: 11244340
    Abstract: User data from users/consumers is transformed into machine learning training data including historical offer attribute model training data, historical offer performance model training data, and user attribute model training data associated with two or more users/consumers, and, in some cases, millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions or more, users/consumers. The machine learning training data is then used to train one or more offer/attribute matching models in an offline training environment. A given current user's data and current offer data are then provided as input data to the offer/attribute matching models in an online runtime/execution environment to identify current offers predicted to have a threshold level of user interest. Recommendation data representing these offers is then provided to the user and the current user's actions with respect to the recommended offers is monitored and used as online training data.
