Publication number: 20230259943Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to determining whether to authorize a requested action based on whether an entity is an automated computer. In some embodiments, a computer system tracks, at a user interface of a computing device, a sequence of pointer movements. The computer system maps, based on coordinate locations of pointer movements in the sequence, respective movements in the sequence to a plurality of functional areas. Based on the mapping, the computer system generates a movement graph and determines, based on the movement graph, whether an entity associated with the sequence of pointer movements is an automated computer. In response to receiving a request to authorize an action at the computing device, the computer system generates, based on the determining, an authorization decision for the action and transmits the authorization decision to the computing device. Determining whether the entity is an automated computer may advantageously prevent fraudulent activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Zhe Chen, Hewen Wang, Solomon Kok How Teo, Yuzhen Zhuo, Quan Jin Ferdinand Tang, Mandar Ganaba Gaonkar, Omkumar Mahalingam, Kenneth Bradley Snyder

Publication number: 20230186685Abstract: A liveness detection system uses a combination of interactive and silent tests to verify physical presence of a live person at a client device. The system superimposes a box on a live video of the space in front of the client device and instructs the user to move to a position that places his or her face within the box. While the user's face is within the box, the system captures a sequence of frames from the video while an amount of illumination cast on the user's face is switched between bright and dark levels according to a random, semi-random, or predefined flash sequence. The system analyzes the resulting sequence of frames to confirm that the user's head pose is consistent with the location of the box, and that changes in brightness of the image of the user's face across the captured frames are consistent with the flash sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Jiyi Zhang, Quan Jin Ferdinand Tang

Patent number: 11610582Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for translating informal utterances into formal texts. Informal utterances may include words in abbreviation forms or typographical errors. The informal utterances may be processed by mapping each word in an utterance into a well-defined token. The mapping from the words to the tokens may be based on a context associated with the utterance derived by analyzing the utterance in a character-by-character basis. The token that is mapped for each word can be one of a vocabulary token that corresponds to a formal word in a pre-defined word corpus, an unknown token that corresponds to an unknown word, or a masked token. Formal text may then be generated based on the mapped tokens. Through the processing of informal utterances using the techniques disclosed herein, the informal utterances are both normalized and sanitized.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2020Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: PayPal, Inc.Inventors: Sandro Cavallari, Yuzhen Zhuo, Van Hoang Nguyen, Quan Jin Ferdinand Tang, Gautam Vasappanavara

Publication number: 20220358289Abstract: Systems and methods for user-agent anomaly detection are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user-agent string may be embedded into a numerical data vector representation using a sentence embedding algorithm (e.g., FastText). A predictive score may be calculated based on the numerical data vector representation and using a probability distribution function model that models a likelihood of occurrence of the observed user-agent based on patterns learned from historic payload data (e.g., a Gaussian Mixture Model). The predictive score may be compared to a threshold and, based on the comparison, it may be determined whether the user-agent is fraudulent.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2021Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Zhe Chen, Hewen Wang, Yuzhen Zhuo, Solomon kok how Teo, Shanshan Peng, Quan Jin Ferdinand Tang, Serafin Trujillo, Kenneth Bradley Snyder, Mandar Ganaba Gaonkar, Omkumar Mahalingam

Publication number: 20220051125Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for intelligent clustering of account communities for account feature adjustment. A user may utilize an online account with the service provider to process transactions electronic. However, initially the account may be unverified or otherwise untrusted, and limits on electronic transaction processing may be imposed on the account. To provide intelligent feature adjustment, the service provider may utilize a machine learning technique to cluster verified accounts into communities based on their data representations. Thereafter, when a transaction by an unverified account violates a limit imposed on the unverified account, the service provider may process the unverified account using a machine learning model trained for account correlations to the community clusters in order to determine a corresponding community cluster of accounts and adjust a feature based on behaviors and traits of the verified accounts in the community cluster.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2020Publication date: February 17, 2022Inventors: Chun Kiat Ho, Jerry Tso, Junaid Zaheer Jaswal, Lin Song, Edwin Boaz Soenaryo, Shek Hei Wong, Harsha Singalreddy, Quan Jin Ferdinand Tang, Kai Xie
