Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to a method including: receiving, by a processor, a data record having a plurality of fields; generating, by the processor, a risk score for the data record using a predictive model; determining, by the processor, that the data record is a potential anomaly based on the risk score; identifying, by the processor, an anomalous field from the plurality of fields; generating, by the processor, a plurality of permutations of the data record, the plurality of permutations generated by changing a value of the anomalous field; and outputting, by the processor, a replacement record selected from the plurality of permutations, the replacement record having a field value for the anomalous field that generates a lowest risk score among the plurality of permutations.
