  • Publication number: 20250037209
    Abstract: A transaction model of a general model generates a target transaction vector for a target transaction record. The general model also generates account vectors for accounts. A match score is generated between the account vectors and the transaction vector. The general model selects a first account identifier of an account using the match score. The transaction model also generates historical transaction vectors for historical transaction records. Further, a comparison score is generated between the historical transaction vectors and the target transaction vector. A second account identifier of an historical transaction is selected according to the comparison score. One of the first account identifier and the second account identifier is selected as the account identifier for the transaction record, and the transaction record is stored with the account identifier.

  • Patent number: 12148047
    Abstract: A method performs personalized transaction categorization. A transaction record is received, by a server application. In a first stage, sparse raw features are extracted from a transaction record of a transaction and converted into a transaction vector including dense features. In a second stage, the transaction vector is classified into a customized chart of accounts using the dense features to generate adapter model output. The method further includes selecting, an account identifier, corresponding to the transaction record and to an account of the customized chart of accounts, using the adapter model output, and presenting the account identifier for the transaction record.

  • Patent number: 11816544
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composite machine learning system for a transaction labeling service. A transaction labeling service receives at least one descriptive string describing a transaction associated with a user. The service identifies a preliminary grouping from a generalized scheme. The service extracts a set of N-grams from the descriptive string and converts the N-grams and the preliminary grouping into a set of features. A machine learning model determines a label from a labeling scheme for the transaction based on the features. User input related to the label includes an accuracy indicator and a reliability indicator. If the reliability indicator satisfies a reliability condition, a set of training data for the machine learning model is updated based on the descriptive string and the label. The machine learning model is then trained against the updated set of training data.

  • Publication number: 20220318898
    Abstract: A method categorizes transaction records. A transaction record is received by a server application. The transaction record is encoded with a first machine learning model to obtain a transaction vector, wherein the transaction vector is in a same vector space as multiple account vectors. A second machine learning model executing in the server application, selects an account vector, from the multiple account vectors, corresponding to the transaction vector. An account identifier, corresponding to the account vector, is presented for the transaction record.

  • Patent number: 11182448
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for determining content quality of a set of content item based on generating a score for each content item. An example technique includes using a trained content quality model to generate the score for each content item component. In such example, the model is trained using a calculated set of features associated with text and metadata of a content item in a training data set as well as a quality label for the content item. The model is trained by associating the set of features with the quality label for each content item in the training data.
