Patent number: 11861003Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for identifying fraudulent user identifiers in a software application. An example method generally includes generating a vector representation of a user identifier. Using a first machine learning model and the vector representation of the user identifier, a fingerprint representative of the user identifier is generated. Using the first machine learning model and the generated fingerprint, a score is generated. The score generally describes a likelihood that the user identifier corresponds to a fraudulent user identifier. One or more similar user identifiers are identified based on the generated fingerprint and a second machine learning model. One or more actions are taken within a computing system relative to a user associated with the user identifier based on the generated score and the identified one or more similar user identifiers.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: INTUIT INC.Inventors: Navid Imani Hossein Abad, Tin Nguyen
