  • Patent number: 11257155
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments facilitate efficient calculation, determination, generation, management, analysis and/or communications relating to volatility indexes used to measure volatility of a market parameter, such as interest rates. More particularly, the disclosed embodiments relate to a type of futures contract whose underlier is a strip of options contracts whose underlier is another futures contract. Referred to as a “Premium over Parity” (“POP”) futures contract, the underlying strip of options contracts are characterized by strike prices defined in terms of a relationship with the market price of the options contracts valued at the settlement/expiration of the POP futures contract, e.g. +/?1, 2, 3, and 4 bp from the options contract value at expiration. This POP futures contract is then used as a single input to a volatility computation which enables rapid computation thereof.

  • Patent number: 11238355
    Abstract: Certain aspects involve optimizing neural networks or other models for assessing risks and generating explanatory data regarding predictor variables used in the model. In one example, a system identifies predictor variables. The system generates a neural network for determining a relationship between each predictor variable and a risk indicator. The system performs a factor analysis on the predictor variables to determine common factors. The system iteratively adjusts the neural network so that (i) a monotonic relationship exists between each common factor and the risk indicator and (ii) a respective variance inflation factor for each common factor is sufficiently low. Each variance inflation factor indicates multicollinearity among the common factors. The adjusted neural network can be used to generate explanatory indicating relationships between (i) changes in the risk indicator and (ii) changes in at least some common factors.

  • Patent number: 11232518
    Abstract: A method and system may detect and correct errors in consumer reporting. A secure data file such as a Metro 2® formatted file may be obtained for a consumer that includes the consumer's credit information. A consumer reporting server may generate a non-sensitive private information (non-SPI) consumer identifier that references non-SPI consumer credit information included in the Metro 2® formatted file. Then a member of the organization may access the non-SPI consumer credit information to review the non-SPI consumer credit information and detect and correct errors. Errors may be detected by training a machine learning model using a first set of non-sensitive private information (non-SPI) consumer credit information from statements including errors and a second set of non-SPI consumer credit information from statements that do not include errors. The non-SPI consumer credit information for the consumer may be applied to the model to identify errors.

  • Patent number: 11216762
    Abstract: A customer risk trigger associated with a customer may be identified. A response to the customer risk trigger may be detected. First risk analysis data related to the customer risk trigger may be gathered, based on the response, from a first datastore. Second risk analysis data related to the customer risk trigger may be gathered, based on the response, from a second datastore. A customer risk profile to model risk attribute(s) of the customer may be gathered. The risk attributes may represent a risk correlation between the customer and a prohibited act. Customer risk visualization tool(s) configured to facilitate visual user interaction with the customer risk profile may be gathered. The customer risk visualization tools may be rendered in a display of the computing system. The customer risk visualization tools provide a customer-centric view of risk for various applications, including anti-money laundering applications.

  • Patent number: 11210738
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transforming an electronic portfolio. A system includes an electronic crossing platform that receives data defining trade orders of the electronic portfolio during an initial time period; compares portions of the data to determine an imbalance of the trade orders remaining after the initial time period and receives, during a final time period, a final trade order from a fund agent device to offset the remaining imbalance. The platform receives, after the final time period, a benchmark value of the electronic portfolio from a fund device; compares the final trade order with the remaining imbalance to determine an adjustment value; converts the benchmark value to a final value by applying the adjustment value to the benchmark value; and transforms the electronic portfolio into the transformed portfolio by creating paired buy and sell orders among the trade orders received during the initial time period at the final value.

  • Patent number: 11205222
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for determining whether to approve or deny a borrower's lending-product request by selectively using a heuristic and statistical model. More specifically, a borrower may submit a lending-product request to a Heuristic-Statistical Risk Management (HS-RM) system, and in doing so the HS-RM system may analyze relationship attributes of the borrower to determine a likelihood of borrower repaying a loan over a predetermined time period, and avoid being charged off. In some examples, the HS-RM system may execute a plurality of statistical models to determine a charge-off probability score. Each statistical model may be based on a set, or subset of historical lending-product data. A subset of historical lending-product data may be based on a selection bias of shared characteristics within a set of historical lending-product data. The selection bias may be based on characteristics of a lending-product request or relationship attributes of a borrower.

  • Patent number: 11205226
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for controlling operational states of a hardware matching processor includes monitoring, by a circuit breaker, incoming electronic data transaction request messages to the hardware matching processor; dynamically defining a range of values as a function of values included with electronic data transaction request messages received during a rolling lookback window; detecting that an incoming electronic data transaction request message contains a value outside the range of values; transitioning the electronic data transaction processing system into a pre-open state for a predetermined period, thereby preventing the hardware matching processor from matching incoming electronic data transaction request messages; calculating a pre-open value at an end of the pre-open state; and re-opening the electronic data transaction processing system at the calculated pre-open value, thereby allowing the hardware matching processor to match incoming electronic data transaction request messages.
