Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for authenticating a user using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). A trusted token issuer verifies a user's identity according to identifying credentials (e.g., government issued identification, passport, driver's license, etc.) presented by the user and creates a non-fungible token in response to verifying the credentials. The non-fungible token is associated with a user identifier and can be used by an access provider to authenticate a user requesting access to restricted content provided by the access provider. For example, when a client device associated with the user requests access from an access provider to an access-restricted website or other type of access-restricted area (e.g., building, concert venue, network, etc.), the access provider (e.g., website server, building computing device, venue system, etc.) uses the properties of the non-fungible token to verify one's identity and permit access upon verification.

Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for using decentralized identity services and generative large language models (LLMs) to facilitate a humanized interactive chatbot session between two entities where information exchanged can be verified for accuracy. An interactive session can be established between a chat wallet service associated with a first user (e.g., a credential holder) and a second user (e.g., inquirer) using decentralized identity services. Inquiries asked by the second user can be directed to the chat wallet service which can obtain a response from a personalized dialog agent. The personalized dialog agent can obtain the answer by executing a language model that has been trained and personalized using information about the first user. The answer to the inquiry can be verified by comparing the answer with a verified credential associated with the first user. The verified response to the inquiry can then be provided to the second user.

For the direct mapping, the script conversion system replaces the function with a new function in the second big data format. For the indirect mapping, the script conversion system constructs an equivalent function in the second big data format using information extracted from parsing queries in the first big data format. The script conversion system also formats a converted query using a project mapping and/or generates a conversion report indicating successful or unsuccessful conversions. Scripts may be converted from an on-premises data warehouse system to a cloud-based data warehouse system.

Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for leveraging deep learning-based recurrent neural networks (RNNs) using time-series data to evaluate fraud risk for an incoming transaction associated with a user account. Time-series attributes can be extracted from historical transaction data and the incoming transaction data. The time-series attributes can be defined as an array of sequential events that are inputted into an RNN-based machine-learning framework to predict whether an incoming or otherwise pending transaction is fraudulent given the spending sequence. An RNN-based time-series prediction model can be trained to understand and predict patterns associated with a user's spending history according to the inputted time-series data in order to predict whether the transaction is fraudulent.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are aspects for splitting a recurring charge. An example method aspect begins by receiving transaction information specifying a transaction. The method continues by determining whether the transaction is recurring. When the transaction is determined to be recurring, the method creates a split protocol for the transaction based on an input from a user interface of a first user device. The split protocol specifies how to split the transaction with one or more other parties. The method then continues with several operations for each of the respective one or more other parties. Based on the split protocol, the method generates a split request specifying a portion of the transaction the respective other party should pay. The method then sends the split request to a second user device corresponding to the respective other party.
