  • Publication number: 20230401601
    Abstract: Described are a system, method, and computer program product for generating a synthetic control group. The method includes receiving transaction data associated a first set of transaction accounts in a first time period and generating a synthetic control group including a subset of transaction accounts. The method also includes determining, for each transaction account of the synthetic control group, a propensity score representative of a likelihood of said transaction account being associated with a test group, and a predictive spending score for a second time period. The method further includes balancing the synthetic control group and altering at least one operational parameter of a computer-implemented advertisement program to be executed in a second time period based on the transaction data and the synthetic control group. The method further includes executing the computer-implemented advertisement program in the second time period based on the at least one operational parameter that was altered.

  • Patent number: 11776005
    Abstract: Described are a system, method, and computer program product for generating a synthetic control group. The method includes receiving transaction account data and transaction data associated with transactions completed by a first set of transaction accounts with a target merchant. The method also includes generating a synthetic control group including a subset of transaction accounts sampled from the first set of transaction accounts. The method further includes determining, for each transaction account of the synthetic control group, a propensity score. The method further includes assigning an entropy balancing weight to each transaction account of the synthetic control group. The method further includes altering, based on the synthetic control group, at least one operational parameter of a computer-implemented advertisement program to be executed.

  • Publication number: 20230060452
    Abstract: Provided is a system, method, and computer program product for adjusting a model. The method includes training or receiving a model based on transaction data for a plurality of account holders, the model configured to classify each individual of the plurality of account holders, segmenting each individual of at least a portion of account holders of the plurality of account holders into at least one subgroup of a plurality of subgroups, separately executing the model for each subgroup of the plurality of subgroups by inputting, into the model, a portion of the transaction data associated with individuals in each subgroup, comparing a plurality of outputs of the model resulting from the separate execution of the model for each subgroup of the plurality of subgroups, and adjusting the model based on at least one differential between the plurality of outputs.

  • Patent number: 11587078
    Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented method for predicting payment transactions using a machine learning technique that includes receiving transaction data, generating a categorical transaction model based on the transaction data, determining a plurality of prediction scores including determining, for one or more users, a prediction score in each merchant category of a plurality of merchant categories for each predetermined time segment of a plurality of predetermined time segments, where a respective prediction score includes a prediction of whether a user will conduct a payment transaction in a merchant category at a time associated with a predetermined time segment associated with the respective prediction score, determining a recommended merchant category and a recommended predetermined time segment of at least one offer, generating the at least one offer, and communicating the at least one offer to the one or more users. A system and computer program product are also disclosed.
