  • Patent number: 12353441
    Abstract: An entity resolution method and system may obtain historical entity data from one or more databases to generate an entity matrix based on a clustering of the historical entity data. The entity resolution method and system may partition the entity matrix into one or more disjointed groups of records based on multi-pass blocking of the attributes associated with the one or more entities and cluster the one or more disjointed groups of records based on one or more similarity metrics between each of the one or more disjointed groups of records. The entity resolution method and system may generate an entity graph for the one or more entities based on the clustering and may create an entity index for an entity based on the entity graph. Ultimately, the entity resolution method and system resolves an entity query of a requestor as matching the entity.

  • Patent number: 9280658
    Abstract: The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a system, and method for detecting fraud rings. The system gathers a small group of highly likely fraudsters. The system then looks for groups of these likely fraudsters who are interconnected. When the interconnections are strong, these groups are likely to be fraud rings. Once fraud rings are detected, the links can be applied to better prevent fraud and to help in criminal investigations.

  • Patent number: 8918891
    Abstract: The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a device, system, and method for resolving the identity of at least one person and listing their identity information attributes. The system detects intentional and improper falsifications of the person's personal identity information. The system calculates a manipulation score that indicates the likelihood that the person intentionally and improperly attempted to manipulate their identity information. The manipulation score can be based on the number, type, and systematic nature of the person's variations in their identity information. The system also calculates a collection of identity manipulation attributes that describe explicitly the manner of the improper manipulation, such as the number of Social Security numbers used.
