  • Patent number: 11676226
    Abstract: A home cost analysis server for executing a customized home search may include a processor programmed to define a user's budget constraint and a level of flexibility thereof, including a threshold difference from the budget constraint, retrieve a list of homes and public listing information associated with each home, and determine a monthly cost associated with each home. The processor may also isolate a first subset of homes having a monthly cost that satisfies the budget constraint, and a second subset of homes having a monthly cost within the threshold difference of the budget constraint, and display the first and second subsets along with respective first and second graphical indicators, as well as a third graphical indicator of a first adjustable expense data element, the third graphical indicator recommending reducing the first adjustable data element to move at least one first home from the second subset into the first subset.

  • Patent number: 11615272
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for scrubbing anomalies from an expanding dataset. In an embodiment, a data sanitization system may determine whether data is anomalous to a set of data stored on a first blockchain. The data sanitization system may perform this determination using a first machine learning algorithm trained using the set of data. Upon determining that data is anomalous, the data sanitization system may publish the data in a second blockchain different from the first blockchain. The data sanitization system may monitor data of the second blockchain and apply a second machine learning algorithm to this data to identify a pattern of anomalous data. In response to identifying the pattern, the data sanitization system may publish the anomalous data of the second blockchain to the first blockchain.
