  • Publication number: 20190238956
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for call classification and for training a model for call classification, an example method comprising: receiving DTMF information from a plurality of calls; determining, for each of the calls, a feature vector including statistics based on DTMF information such as DTMF residual signal comprising channel noise and additive noise; training a model for classification; comparing a new call feature vector to the model; predicting a device type and geographic location based on the comparison of the new call feature vector to the model; classifying the call as spoofed or genuine; and authenticating a call or altering an IVR call flow.

  • Patent number: 10362172
    Abstract: Systems and methods for call detail record (CDR) analysis to determine a risk score for a call and identify fraudulent activity and for fraud detection in Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems. An example method may store information extracted from received calls. Queries of the stored information may be performed to select data using keys, wherein each key relates to one of the received calls, and wherein the queries are parallelized. The selected data may be transformed into feature vectors, wherein each feature vector relates to one of the received calls and includes a velocity feature and at least one of a behavior feature or a reputation feature. A risk score for the call may be generated during the call based on the feature vectors.

  • Publication number: 20160086288
    Abstract: Tracking costs relative to a budget includes receiving one or more cost values for applying against a predefined budget, and comparing the one or more cost values against preset threshold percentages for the predefined budget, each preset threshold percentage indicating a percentage of costs applied against the predefined budget at which to notify users. Based on the comparison, a determination is made whether the one or more cost values meet or exceed at least one of the preset threshold percentages. In a case where the one or more cost values meet or exceed at least one of the preset threshold percentages, a notification is generated for a first user who bills against the predefined budget and for a second user who supervises the predefined budget, the notification indicating which of the preset threshold percentages are met or exceeded by the one or more cost values. The generated notification is provided to the first user and to the second user.
