  • Patent number: 11941065
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating record clusters. The methods comprise receiving a plurality of records from data sources and providing at least a subset of the records to a scoring model that determines scores for various pairings of the records, a score for a given pair of the records representing a probability that the given pair of records contain data elements about the same entity. The method further comprises generating a graph data structure that includes a plurality of nodes, individual nodes representing a different record from the records. The method also comprises assigning a different unique identifier to individual clusters of the final clusters and responding to a request for data regarding a given entity by providing aggregated data elements from those records of the records associated with a cluster of the final clusters having an identifier that represents the given entity.

  • Patent number: 11620677
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for providing enhanced location analysis and consumer insights using mobile sightings data. An approximate geographic location is useful to mobile service providers and advertisers who wish to provide targeted content to consumers based on their location. The location analysis described herein provides more depth and detail about the detected geographic location of the consumer and also insights into business locations visited by the user of the device, consumer/market segments and patterns of behavior (for an individual consumer and/or for aggregated group of consumers), retail trends and patterns, and other profile information. For example, a location profile analytics system as described herein can determine a probability that an approximate geographic location actually corresponds to a specific geographic location, such as a business location.

  • Patent number: 11151468
    Abstract: The features relate to artificial intelligence directed detection of user behavior based on complex analysis of user event data including language modeling to generate distributed representations of user behavior. Further features are described for reducing the amount of data needed to represent relationships between events such as transaction events received from card readers or point of sale systems. Machine learning features for dynamically determining an optimal set of attributes to use as the language model as well as for comparing current event data to historical event data are also included.

  • Publication number: 20210241120
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing machine learning techniques to distinguish a real identity, such as a set of identity information representing a real person, from a synthetic identity that may include portions of real identity information. Attributes regarding a target identity derived from a variety of retrieved data records may be provided as input to multiple machine learning models that generate scores associated with the potential of the target identity being synthetic. The scores may be combined and compared to a threshold to generate a determination of whether the target identity is a synthetic identity.

  • Patent number: 11010345
    Abstract: The features relate to artificial intelligence directed compression of user event data based on complex analysis of user event data including latent feature detection and clustering. Further features are described for reducing the size of data transmitted during event processing data flows and devices such as card readers or point of sale systems. Machine learning features for dynamically determining an optimal compression as well as identifying targeted users and providing content to the targeted users based on the compressed data are also included.

  • Patent number: 10445152
    Abstract: Various systems and methods are disclosed for accessing and traversing disparate, complex, and multi-dimensional data structures to dynamically and interactively generate reports based on automated modeling of complex and non-uniformly formatted data. Automated analysis of probabilistic functions and temporal-based data records enable non-technical users to quickly and dynamically act on time-sensitive information. In response to various user inputs, the system automatically accesses and traverses complex data structures (including, for example, frequency distribution models) calculates complex data based on the traversals, displays the calculated complex data to the user, and enters the calculated complex data into the reports.

  • Patent number: 8386377
    Abstract: A technique is provided for determining credit ratings without the need for traditional credit bureau data. In at least one embodiment of the invention, a method comprises the steps of providing a network of linked identity records, each identity record comprising identity related information; receiving an identity record comprising identity related information of the entity; linking the received identity record with at least one of the identity records in the network of linked identity records, quantifying a plurality of linked identity records related to the entity; and generating a credit rating for the entity based on the quantified identity records. Application of the invention is particularly useful for individuals with less than a few years credit behavior recorded on a credit bureau, such as immigrants or young people with limited traditional historical information (“thin file”) and individuals with no traditional historical information (“no hit”).
