  • Publication number: 20260057386
    Abstract: An anomaly detection and transaction integrity platform is provided. A system receives data for profiles linked with accounts of an entity. The data indicates first historical data of first interactions of accounts with a first computing system, and second historical data indicative of second interactions of accounts with a second computing system. The system generates, using one or more models trained with machine learning, a metric indicative of a pattern of transactions. The system determines, based on a comparison of a value of the metric with a threshold, to invoke an automated process via the payroll processing system to modify at least one of the metric or the threshold. The system selects, using the one or more models, an action to execute via the automated process that modifies the metric or the threshold. The system commands, via the automated process, the payroll processing system to execute the action.

  • Publication number: 20250342483
    Abstract: Carbon emission reduction using machine learning is provided. A system receives data for profiles linked with locations of an entity. The system determines, based at least in part on data from a utility service provider system and the data indicative of energy consumption associated with the locations, a first value of a metric indicative of carbon emissions associated with the locations. The system determines, based on a comparison of the first value of the metric with a threshold, to invoke an automated process via the payroll processing system to reduce the metric. The system generates, generate, using one or more models trained with machine learning, an action to execute via the automated process. The system selects a first profile from that is compatible with the action, and commands the payroll processing system to execute the generated action to cause a reduction in the first value of the metric.
