Abstract: Methods and systems for transcribing a media file using a human intelligence task service and/or reinforcement learning are provided. The disclosed systems and methods provide opportunities for a segment of the input media file to be automatically re-analyzed, re-transcribed, and/or modified for re-transcription using a human intelligence task (HIT) service for verification and/or modification of the transcription results. The segment can also be reanalyzed, reconstructed, and re-transcribed using a reinforcement learning enabled transcription model.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transcribing a media file using reinforcement learning are provided. In one aspect, the method includes: identifying a low confidence of accuracy portion from a transcription result of the media file; constructing a phoneme sequence that includes an audio segment corresponding to the identified low confidence of accuracy portion, based on at least on a reward function; creating a new audio waveform based at least on the constructed phoneme sequence; and generating a new transcription using a transcription engine based on the new audio waveform.

Abstract: A method for service level management comprises identifying connected enterprise application components and, under control of an automated system, relating historical performance for the connected enterprise application components and electronically creating a service level agreement based on the historical performance relation.

Abstract: A system and method for protecting identity fraud are disclosed. A system includes a detection subsystem to identify applications and/or accounts at risk of identity fraud, and a disposition subsystem to process data provided by the detection system and to determine whether identity fraud exists in the applications and/or accounts. According to an implementation, one or more neural network models are defined, each neural network model being configured to handle a class of cases related to the subject and a specific data configuration describing a case of the class. The one or more neural network models are run to generate data requests about the subject's identity, and the data requests are passed to a detection system that monitor transactions associated with the subject. Additional data associated with the transactions is requested until a threshold certainty is achieved or until available data or models are exhausted.

Abstract: Predictive modeling of consumer financial behavior, including determination of likely responses to particular marketing efforts, is provided by application of consumer transaction data to predictive models associated with merchant segments. The merchant segments are derived from the consumer transaction data based on co-occurrences of merchants in sequences of transactions. Merchant vectors represent specific merchants, and are aligned in a vector space as a function of the degree to which the merchants co-occur more or less frequently than expected. Supervised segmentation is applied to merchant vectors to form the merchant segments. Merchant segment predictive models provide predictions of spending in each merchant segment for any particular consumer, based on previous spending by the consumer. Consumer profiles describe summary statistics of each consumer's spending in the merchant segments, and across merchant segments.
