  • Patent number: 11556845
    Abstract: An entity resolution system performs a method of resolving one or more candidate entities based on a data set. The entity resolution system has a machine learning module and a narrative module. The machine learning module generates a synthesized data set, the synthesized data set comprising similarity ratings for each entity feature. The narrative module applies a clustering analysis to determine one or more distances between the group of similarity ratings for each entity feature and one or more clusters associated with known relationships between entities, generates a narrative output based on one or more distances. The narrative output states at least one identified relationship between at least two entities of the plurality of candidate entities and a confidence score. The narrative engine also provides the narrative output to a user interface.

  • Patent number: 11544477
    Abstract: An entity resolution system performs a method of resolving one or more candidate entities based on a data set. The entity resolution system has a rules-based module, a machine learning module, a narrative module, and an evaluation module. The rules-based module compares the first entity features to the second entity features and determines whether a rule identifies a relationship between the first entity and the second entity. The machine learning module rates a similarity of the first entity features and the second entity features. The narrative module generates a narrative output based on one or more of the rules-based module and the machine learning module, the narrative output stating an identified relationship between the first entity and the second entity. The evaluation module determines one or more metrics to apply feedback to the system.

  • Patent number: 11455561
    Abstract: A detection modeling system performs a distribution analysis to alert to model degradation. The detection modeling system may have a distribution analysis module configured to perform an alerting process in conjunction with a processing device. The distribution analysis module may receive a risk tolerance rating for alerting to degradation of an analytical model, and determine a threshold value for a model metric based on the risk tolerance rating. The model metric may be a measure of a parameter associated with the analytical model. The distribution analysis module may also monitor the analytical model for degradation using the threshold value for the model metric and model metric values and alert to model degradation of the analytical model based on the monitoring of the analytical model.
