A machine receives a first set of global parameters from a global parameter server. Multiple learner processors in the machine execute an algorithm that models an entity type using the first set of global parameters and a mini-batch of data known to describe the entity type. The machine generates a consolidated set of gradients that describes a direction for the first set of global parameters in order to improve an accuracy of the algorithm in modeling the entity type when using the first set of global parameters and the mini-batch of data. The machine transmits the consolidated set of gradients to the global parameter server. The machine then receives a second set of global parameters from the global parameter server, where the second set of global parameters is a modification of the first set of global parameters based on the consolidated set of gradients.

An artificial intelligence (AI) platform to support random action replay for natural language (NL) learning. A NL conversation is subject to exploration to train a neural network. One or more tuples are leveraged for the training, with each tuple representing an input action, a vector, an output action, and a reward value. An action is sampled from the vector, with the sampling configured to assess a corresponding first gradient. The first gradient is applied to selectively adjust the neural network. As NL input is received and applied to the selectively adjusted neural network, an output corresponding to the NL input is identified and a corresponding action is subject to be executed.

A generative adversarial network (GAN) is trained to generate modified merchant embeddings from the raw merchant embeddings, where the modified embeddings remove a location feature. Subsequent to training and responsive to receiving a request for merchant recommendations in the target location for the target user, the GAN and a trained preference model are used to generate a list of merchant rankings based on a new set of modified merchant embeddings, past preferences of a target user, and the target location to recommend merchants in the target location.

The system and method may assess the merchant risk level on a more continuous scale rather than a binary categorization. It may produce a continuous risk score proportional to the likelihood of a merchant being risky, effectively addressing the issue of shades of gray encountered by the traditional blacklisting approach. The continuous risk score feature provides greater flexibility as it allows the payment network to make dynamic pricing decisions (known as interchange optimization) based on the merchant risk level. Using collective intelligence from transactions across the payment network, the system and method may be able to assess the merchant risk level with high accuracy. The system and method may be particularly beneficial to small merchants with low transaction volume as even a few fraudulent transactions can easily put them in the high-risk merchant category. Further, the system and method may help payment processing networks make better decision on cross-border transactions.
