  • Patent number: 12265476
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for providing an out of band cache mechanism for ensuring availability of data. An example system may include a client device configured to, in response to determining requested data is not available in a cache, access the requested data from a data source, transmit, to a cache mechanism, an indication that the requested data is unavailable in the cache, the indication configured to be placed in a queue as an element pointing to the requested data, a cache mechanism configured to receive an indication of requested data, determine whether an element, the element indicative of the requested data, exists in a queue, and in an instance in which the element is not present in the queue, placing the element in the queue, the queue being a list of elements, each indicative of requested data needing to be placed in the cache.

  • Patent number: 12190344
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a method for automatically providing customized financial card incentives where the system can identify if a transaction is eligible for additional bonus rewards by determining if the user is a student using a clustering algorithm with user similarity data to generate a probability. Then, if the probability is above a predetermined threshold, a machine learning model with comprehensive user data classifies the user as a student or non-student. Once the user is determined to be a student, the transaction is verified as being an educational purchase using the transaction data or by having the user provide an image of a receipt. Once the transaction is verified, the transaction or items within the transaction qualify for additional rewards that are applied to the user's account. Users who are not identified as students may qualify for a standard amount of rewards.

  • Publication number: 20240070526
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable variable and dynamic feedback to electronic activities by receiving event data and utilizing a feedback machine learning model to predict an average feedback attribute and an average feedback variability attribute based on the event data. A feedback data entry is added to a user profile to store the average feedback attribute and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event and a new event attribute are received for the user profile, and a feedback probability distribution for the new event is generated based on the new event attribute, the average feedback attribute, and the average feedback variability attribute. A new event feedback is generated for the new event based on a random selection from the feedback probability distribution and is output to a computing device associated with the user profile.
