  • Patent number: 11574313
    Abstract: In some implementations, a transaction card security system may detect a transaction card in an image, and may perform image processing to identify one or more character sequences or one or more designs that appear on the transaction card. The one or more character sequences or the one or more designs may identify an institution associated with the transaction card and/or a cardholder associated with the transaction card. The transaction card security system may identify the institution or the cardholder associated with the transaction card based on the one or more character sequences or the one or more designs, and may perform one or more actions relating to security of the transaction card based on detecting the transaction card in the image and identifying the institution or the cardholder associated with the transaction card.

  • Patent number: 11574077
    Abstract: Systems and methods for censoring text characters in text-based data are provided. In some embodiments, an artificial intelligence system may be configured to receive text-based data and store the text-based data in a database. The artificial intelligence system may be configured to receive a list of target pattern types identifying sensitive data and receive censorship rules for the target pattern types determining target pattern types requiring censorship. The artificial intelligence system may be configured to assemble a computer-based model related to a received target pattern type in the list of target pattern types. The artificial intelligence system may be configured to use a computer-based model to identify a target data pattern corresponding to the received target pattern type within the text-based data, identify target characters within the target data pattern, and to assign an identification token to the target characters.

  • Publication number: 20220414768
    Abstract: A computing system retrieves a credit check algorithm. The credit check algorithm utilizes one or more parameters for evaluation of a credit score of an individual. The computing system identifies a plurality of entities contributing parameters for the evaluation of the credit score of the individual. The computing system compiles the credit check algorithm into a plurality of components. Each component corresponds to a respective entity of the plurality of entities and each component generates an output unique to the respective entity. The computing system transmits each component to a respective entity of the plurality of entities. The computing system instructs each entity to share a respective output with each remaining entity. The computing system receives a credit score for the individual from each of the plurality of entities. Each credit score received from each entity is the same.

  • Publication number: 20220400178
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for deploying third-party callback to be performed on a mobile device. For example, the mobile device may configure a third-party callback to be performed after a triggering event is detected by a remote device. The triggering event may relate to a remote device associated with the mobile device. A determination may be made as to whether the mobile device is within a pre-determined proximity of the remote device. If the two devices are in proximity and if the mobile device receives a message that indicates the triggering event has been detected, the mobile device may perform the third-party callback. In this way, a user's need to request services conveniently and accurately is facilitated.

  • Patent number: 11503264
    Abstract: A playback application is configured to analyze audio frames associated with transitions between segments within a media title to identify one or more portions of extraneous audio. The playback application is configured to analyze the one or more portions of extraneous audio and then determine which of the one or more corresponding audio frames should be dropped. In doing so, the playback application can analyze a topology associated with the media title to determine whether any specific portions of extraneous audio are to be played outside of a logical ordering of audio samples set forth in the topology. These specific portions of extraneous audio are preferentially removed.

  • Patent number: 11494691
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for training a model using machine learning. An exemplary method may include providing, by the model in a training session, an action to an environment to receive feedback from the environment. The method may also include generating, by a behavior simulator, a plurality of predicted outcomes from the environment resulting from the action. The method may further include training the model, using at least a subset of the predicted outcomes, to generate a set of candidate models. The method may include receiving actual feedback from the environment and determining whether the actual feedback matches one of the predicted outcomes in the subset. Responsive to the determination that the actual feedback matches one of the predicted outcomes in the subset, the method may include using, in a new training session, the candidate model in the set corresponding to the matched predicted outcome.

  • Patent number: 11494290
    Abstract: A system and method of generating one or more integration tests are disclosed herein. A computing system receives a URL from a client device. The URL corresponds to a website hosted by a third party server. The computing system generates a recurrent neural network model for testing of the website. The one or more variables associated with the recurrent neural network model are defined by a genetic algorithm. The computing system inputs code associated with the website into the recurrent neural network model. The recurrent neural network model learns a plurality of possible paths through the website by permutating through each possible set of options on the website. The recurrent neural network mode generates, as output, a plurality of integration tests for at least the test website. The computing system compiles the plurality of integration tests into a format compatible with a testing service specified by the client device.

  • Patent number: 11481672
    Abstract: A database including various datasets and metadata associated with each respective dataset is provided. These datasets were used to train predictive models. The database stores a performance value associated with the model trained with each dataset. When provided with a new dataset, a server can determine various metadata for the new dataset. Using the metadata, the server can search the database and retrieve datasets which have similar metadata values. The server can narrow the search based on the performance value associated with the dataset. Based on the retrieved datasets, the server can recommend at least one sampling technique. The sampling technique can be determined based on the one or more sampling techniques that were used in association with the retrieved datasets.

  • Publication number: 20220337565
    Abstract: Randomizations of a web page may be generated in advance and provided to a client. The client may store the randomizations in its cache. Multiple randomizations for the same web page may be provided to the client and stored in the client's cache. When a request for a web page is made, it is determined if the client has any cached randomizations. Randomizations for the probable next web page to be requested by the client may be provided to the client for storage in the cache. For example, the probability that a link will be clicked or a website visited may be determined. Those web pages and websites with higher probabilities may be determined. Randomizations for those web pages are then provided to the client for use.
