  • Patent number: 11636341
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to processing sequential interaction data through machine learning. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a dynamic interaction graph constructed based on a dynamic interaction sequence. The dynamic interaction sequence includes interaction feature groups corresponding to interaction events. Each interaction feature group includes a first object, a second object, and an interaction time of an interaction event that involved the first object and the second object. The dynamic interaction graph includes multiple nodes including, for each interaction feature group, a first node that represents the first object of the interaction feature group and a second node that represents the second object of the interaction feature group. A current sequence corresponding to a current node to be analyzed is determined. The current sequence is input into a Transformer-based neural network model. The neural network model determines a feature vector corresponding to the current node.

  • Patent number: 11526936
    Abstract: A graphical structure model trained by using labeled samples is obtained. The graphical structure model is defined based on an enterprise relationship network that includes nodes and edges. Each labeled sample includes a label indicating whether a corresponding node is a risky credit node. The graphical structure model is configured to iteratively calculate an embedding vector of at least one node in a hidden feature space based on an original feature of the at least one node and/or a feature of an edge associated with the at least one node. An embedding vector corresponding to a test-sample is calculated by using the graphical structure model. Credit risk analysis is performed on the test-sample. The credit risk analysis is performed based on a feature of the test-sample represented in the embedding vector. A node corresponding to the test-sample is labeled as a credit risk node.

  • Patent number: 11526766
    Abstract: One or more implementations of the present specification provide risk control of transactions based on a graphical structure model. A graphical structure model trained by using labeled samples is obtained. The graphical structure model is defined based on a transaction data network that includes nodes representing entities in a transaction and edges representing relationships between the entities. Each labeled sample includes a label indicating whether a node corresponding to the labeled sample is a risky transaction node. The graphical structure model is configured to iteratively calculate an embedding vector of the node in a latent feature space based on an original feature of the node or a feature of an edge associated with the node. An embedding vector of an input sample is calculated by using the graphical structure model. Transaction risk control is performed on the input sample based on the embedding vector.

  • Patent number: 11354512
    Abstract: A dialog generation method includes: training a sequence to sequence (seq2seq)-based dialog model using a loss function including topic range constraint information; and generating a dialog using the trained dialog model. With the dialog generation method, topic range constraint information is introduced in the process of dialog model training using a loss function including the topic range constraint information, thus helping to prevent the trained model from producing low-quality meaningless replies.

  • Patent number: 11250088
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, computer-implemented systems, and non-transitory, computer-readable media for processing interaction sequence data are disclosed. One computer-implemented method includes: obtaining a dynamic interaction graph is obtained, where the dynamic interaction graph is constructed based on a dynamic interaction sequence, including a plurality of interactions arranged in a chronological order, where each interaction includes two objects involved in the interaction and a time of the interaction. In the dynamic interaction graph, a sub-graph corresponding to a target node is determined, where nodes in the sub-graph comprise the target node and connection nodes connected to the target node through a predetermined amount of edges originating from the target node. A feature vector corresponding to the target node is determined based on a node feature of each of the nodes of the sub-graph and directions of edges of the sub-graph.

  • Patent number: 11223644
    Abstract: A graphical structure model trained with labeled samples is obtained. The graphical structure model is defined based on an account relationship network that comprises a plurality of nodes and edges. The edges correspond to relationships between adjacent nodes. Each labeled sample comprises a label indicating whether a corresponding node is an abnormal node. The graphical structure model is configured to iteratively calculate, for at least one node of the plurality of nodes, an embedding vector in a hidden feature space based on an original feature of the least one node and/or a feature of an edge associated with the at least one node. A first embedding vector that corresponds to a to-be-tested sample is calculated using the graphical structure model. Abnormal account prevention and control is performed on the to-be-tested sample based on the first embedding vector.
