  • Publication number: 20190163790
    Abstract: A system and method for use with a data management service provides aggregated statistics derived from a large amount of user data extracted from one or more transaction management systems. The aggregated statistics are based on client queries from client systems. The queries request statistical information about a queried user grouping. An input interpreter module uses machine learning to modify the queried user grouping into a plurality of improved user groupings. A statistics calculator module performs a set of calculations on the user data based on the improved user groupings, and returns the results to an output preparer module. The output preparer module uses machine learning to determine which aggregated statistic to return to the client system.
