Fraud detection is facilitated by developing account cluster membership rules and converting them to database queries via an examination of clusters of linked accounts abstracted from the customer database. The cluster membership rules are based upon certain observed data patterns associated with potentially fraudulent activity. In one embodiment, account clusters are grouped around behavior patterns exhibited by imposters. The system then identifies those clusters exhibiting a high probability of fraud and builds cluster membership rules for identifying subsequent accounts that match those rules. The rules are designed to define the parameters of the identified clusters. When the rules are deployed in a transaction blocking system, when a rule pertaining to an identified fraudulent cluster is triggered, the transaction blocking system blocks the transaction with respect to new users who enter the website.

Systems and methods for fraud detection via interactive link analysis

A product space browser (PSB), which comprises a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates insight discovery through exploration and analysis of product space graphs generated by applying a product affinity engine to retailer's transaction data in a market basket context, is disclosed.

Techniques for visualization of decision logic are provided. In one aspect, the techniques can be implemented by providing a control within a graphical user interface to a user. The control can display a plurality of graphical user interface elements corresponding to linked nodes within a hierarchical structure. An input identifying a selected graphical user interface element within the control can be generated by a user. A selected node within the hierarchical structure can be identified based on the selected graphical user interface element. In response to a request from a user, modifying an appearance of a subset of the linked nodes within the hierarchical structure based on a desired visualization criteria, the linked nodes within the hierarchical structure and the selected node.

Visualization of decision logic

A request to compare strategies is received. The first strategy can be graphically represented by a first set of linked nodes arranged in a first form of decision logic. The second strategy can be graphically represented by a second set of linked nodes arranged in a second form of decision logic. The first set of linked nodes can be converted to a first modified set of linked nodes arranged in a third form of decision logic. The second set of linked nodes can be converted to a second modified set of linked nodes arranged in the third form of decision logic. A color-coded visual representation of the first modified set of linked nodes and the second modified set of linked nodes can be provided to a user. Related apparatus, techniques, and articles are also described.

Color-coded visual comparison of decision logic

Data characterizing a plurality of related action graphs is received. Thereafter, the plurality of related action graphs are transformed into a logically equivalent structure so that rendering of the logically equivalent structure can be initiated. Related interfaces, apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Construction of decision logic with graphs

The invention provides a purchase sequence browser (PuSB), i.e. a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates insight discovery and exploration of product affinities across time, generated by a purchase sequence analysis of a retailer's transaction data. A purchase sequence browser allows the user to browse the most significant product phrases discovered by an exhaustive search of the product affinities across time; explore the retail grammar to create both forward and backward phrase trees or alternate purchase paths starting from, or ending in, a product; generate consistent purchase sequences given some constraints on the products and their order; and profile the value of a product across time with regard to other products fixed in time.
