Abstract: A fraud detection system obtains a number of known fraudulent end-user profiles and/or otherwise undesirable end-user profiles. Using statistical analysis techniques that include clustering the end-user profiles by attributes and attribute values and/or combinations of attributes and attribute values, the fraud detection system identifies on a continuous, periodic, or aperiodic basis those attribute values and/or attribute value combinations that appear in fraudulent or otherwise undesirable end-user profiles. Using this data, the fraud detection system generates one or more queries to identify those end-user profiles having attribute values or combinations of attribute values that likely indicate a fraudulent or otherwise undesirable end-user profile.

Abstract: A fraud detection system may obtain a number of known fraudulent end-user profiles. Using statistical analysis techniques that include clustering the end-user profiles by attributes, attribute values, or both, the fraud detection system identifies on a continuous, periodic, or aperiodic basis those attribute values and/or attribute value combinations that appear in fraudulent end-user profiles. Using this data, the fraud detection system generates one or more queries to identify those end-user profiles having attribute values or combinations of attribute values that likely indicate a fraudulent or otherwise undesirable end-user profile. The fraud detection system can run these queries against incoming registrations to identify and screen fraudulent end-user profiles from entering the system and can also run these queries against stored end-user profile databases to identify and remove fraudulent or otherwise undesirable end-user profiles from the end-user database.

Abstract: Relationship building Websites collect considerable self-reported and autonomously collected attribute data on users. Attribute data may be useful for identifying users having compatible or potentially compatible interests, likes, goals, and/or aspirations that the formation of a relationship between the users is possible. At least a portion of the data collected by relationship building Websites may include inbound and outbound messaging statistics and behaviors. When used in conjunction with profile attributes, these messaging statistics and behaviors may be used as training data to generate one or more response predictive models that provide an indication of the profile attributes and messaging behaviors to which a particular user is most likely to respond. Since messaging traffic is a key indicator of relationship building Website health and vitality, it is advantageous to provide users with matches or potential matches with whom they are more likely to exchange messages.

Abstract: A fraudulent advertiser account detection system may be used by a Website operator to identify active advertiser accounts as at least one of either a known valid advertiser account or a known fraudulent advertiser account. Each advertiser account has a logically associated account profile. Each account profile includes a number of advertiser attributes, each attribute having one or more logically associated attribute values characterizing the respective advertiser. Using a plurality of known valid advertiser accounts and plurality of known fraudulent advertiser accounts, the system determines a number of initial probabilities and likelihoods that one or more attribute values and/or attribute value combinations present in an advertiser account profile indicate at least one of a known valid or a known fraudulent advertiser account.
