Patent number: 11914583Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a system that utilizes regular expression (regex) to recognize at least portions of characters, words, text, numbers, etc. in a structured or unstructured dataset, any patterns associated therewith, and/or similarities between the determined patterns. In examples, a regex-based pattern recognition platform may receive a dataset and determine whether at least a first regex pattern and a second regex pattern can be identified. The occurrences of the first and second regex patterns and the frequency of those occurrences may reveal something about the dataset itself or any patterns contained therein.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jeremy Edward Goodsitt, Austin Grant Walters, Reza Farivar, Mark Louis Watson, Anh Truong, Galen Rafferty, Vincent Pham

Patent number: 11853431Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may use word embeddings to enhance scanning of programming code scripts for sensitive subject matter, such as confidential subject matter. The scanning may be performed by a neural network in some exemplary embodiments. The neural network initially may be trained on a corpus of programming code scripts to identify keywords relating to sensitive subject matter, such as passwords, tokens or credentials. The neural network may not only identify instances of the keywords but also may identify related terms as well. The output of the scan may be a ranked list of terms in the programming code script that may relate to sensitive subject matter.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Vincent Pham, Kenneth Taylor, Jeremy Edward Goodsitt, Fardin Abdi Taghi Abad, Austin Grant Walters, Reza Farivar, Anh Truong, Mark Louis Watson

Publication number: 20230281567Abstract: Techniques to apply machine learning to schedule events of interest for a device user. As described herein, a typical device user is inundated with information suggesting activities and other things to do. Using these techniques, the information is categorized according to the activity and those activities that are most likely to be engaged in by the device user are recommended to the device user (via their device) as events of interest. If the device user selects an event of interest, the device is updated to reflect that selection. For instance, a calendar application may be updated to include an event description at the event's date and time.
