Abstract: A method and system of detecting transaction outliers in a dataset. The method includes selecting words of documents associated with a plurality of transaction characteristics in the dataset, executing a topic model to generate a document-archetype probability matrix comprising a plurality of archetypes, assigning each document to at least one archetype, and dividing the dataset into a plurality of subsets based upon the archetypes.

The detection system may be implemented with the sliding window technique incorporating new transactions into the topic model and it is capable of operating in real-time for the purpose of identifying frauds and outliers. The formed subsets may be further utilized to estimate the quantiles and calculate scores using a self-calibrating outlier model. The archetypes may be developed from a Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA).

Title: Bespoke detection model
Inventor: Frederick Francis Taylor
IPC: G06Q50/26
Filed: 2019-02-22
Abstract: A detection model, such as a classifier, is trained on simulated data. A simulation environment is configured based on an operational arena. An artificial agent is tasked with carrying out an activity within the simulation environment. Training data is generated based on the artificial agent’s activity within the simulation environment, and a detection model is trained using the simulated training data. The training data may also incorporate historical real world data or expert human knowledge. The real world data may be radar tracks and the artificial agent may generate synthetic track data for training the detection model. The simulation environment may be specific to a geographical location or time period, such as simulating illegal people trafficking across water. The simulation environment and training data may be continually updated as intelligence is gathered, and the artificial agent may be left to train unsupervised. The artificial agent may consider its visibility when carrying out its activity, e.g. whether the artificial agent can be seen by boat traffic. The simulation environment may also include background traffic and activity, e.g. using a pattern of life model. The artificial agent may be scored against a scalar cost function.
