    Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to perform machine-learning-based predictive behavioral response. In various embodiments, one or more behavioral monitoring data objects are identified and processed using a behavioral pattern prediction machine learning model to generate a behavioral pattern prediction model. The behavioral pattern prediction model is processed using a risk generation machine learning model to generate a risk model, wherein: (i) the risk generation machine learning model is generated based at least in part by one or more risk factors, and (ii) the risk model comprises a per-risk factor score for each risk factor of the one or more risk factors. The risk model is processed using an adjustment generation machine learning model to generate an adjustment model and one or more prediction-based actions are performed based on the adjustment model.

  • Publication number: 20090055418
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a cascading copy operation in a database with referential integrity constraints is disclosed. A user may supply (or be prompted to provide) a new key value, a first table, and a primary key value to use in the cascading copy operation. In response, a database engine may be configured to create a new record in the first table, with a primary key equal to the new key value supplied to the cascading copy operation and otherwise duplicate data values from the row identified by the primary key value. The database engine may also duplicate records in the database in tables other than the first table. Specifically, in one embodiment, records in any table that use the primary key value supplied to the cascading copy operation as a foreign key may be duplicated as a new record having the new key value as the foreign key.
