  • Patent number: 12271945
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to the personal finance and banking field, and more particularly to the field of lending and credit notification methods and systems. Preferred embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for automatically generating high quality adverse action notifications based on identifying variations between a declined borrower's profile and that of approved applicants, both with simple and sophisticated credit scoring systems, using specific algorithms.

  • Patent number: 11537934
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for a machine learning algorithm that generates models that are more interpretable and transparent than existing machine learning approaches. These embodiments identify, at a record level, the effect of individual input variables on the machine learning model. To provide those improvements, a reason code generator assigns monotonic relationships to a series of input variables, which are then incorporated into the machine learning algorithm as metadata. In some embodiments, the reason code generator creates records based on the monotonic relationships, which are used by the machine learning algorithm to generate predicted values. The reason code generator compares an original predicted value from the machine learning model to the predicted values from the machine learning model.
