Abstract
Determining segment rule(s) for categorising entities according to financial risk comprise determining, for each entity, feature(s) indicative of financial risk, determining a survival rating for each entity based on determined entity attributes; and providing, as input to a segmentation rules determination module, the feature(s) and the survival rating for a subset of the entities of the second set of entities. They method may further comprise modifying, by the segmentation rules determination module, a set of segment rules until a completion condition is met and determining as output of the segmentation rules determination module, the segment rule(s).
Claims13
A computer implemented method comprising:
- a) determining a first dataset of entities, each entity of the first dataset of entities being associated with a set of attributes;
- b) determining a set of features for each of the entities based on a respective set of attributes, wherein each feature is indicative of financial risk;
- c) determining a survival rating for each of the entities of the first dataset of entities based on the respective set of attributes;
- d) determining a second set of entities from the first dataset of entities based on predicted survival ratings of the entities;
- e) providing, as an input to a segmentation rules determination module, the set of features and the survival rating for each of the entities of the second set of entities;
- f) categorising, by a segmentation rules determination module, the entities of the second set of entities according to a set of segmentation rules;
- g) assessing a suitability of the set of segmentation rules based on survival ratings of the entities in one or more categories;
- h) responsive to a completion condition not being met, modifying, by the segmentation rules determination module, the set of segment rules and performing steps f) to h);
- and
- i) responsive to the completion condition being met, determining as an output of the segmentation rules determination module, the set of segment rules for categorising entities according to financial risk.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory comprising computer executable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations including:
- a) determining a first dataset of entities, each entity of the first dataset of entities being associated with a set of attributes;
- b) determining a set of features for each of the entities based on a respective set of attributes, wherein each feature is indicative of financial risk;
- c) determining a survival rating for each of the entities of the first dataset of entities based on the respective set of attributes;
- d) determining a second set of entities from the first dataset of entities based on predicted survival ratings of the entities;
- e) providing, as an input to a segmentation rules determination module, the set of features and the survival rating for each of the entities of the second set of entities;
- f) categorising, by a segmentation rules determination module, the entities of the second set of entities according to a set of segmentation rules;
- g) assessing a suitability of the set of segmentation rules based on survival ratings of the entities in one or more categories;
- h) responsive to a completion condition not being met, modifying, by the segmentation rules determination module, the set of segment rules and performing steps f) to h);
- and
- i) responsive to the completion condition being met, determining as an output of the segmentation rules determination module, the set of segment rules for categorising entities according to financial risk.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations including:
- a) determining a first dataset of entities, each entity of the first dataset of entities being associated with a set of attributes;
- b) determining a set of features for each of the entities based on a respective set of attributes, wherein each feature is indicative of financial risk;
- c) determining a survival rating for each of the entities of the first dataset of entities based on the respective set of attributes;
- d) determining a second set of entities from the first dataset of entities based on predicted survival ratings of the entities;
- e) providing, as an input to a segmentation rules determination module, the set of features and the survival rating for each of the entities of the second set of entities;
- f) categorising, by a segmentation rules determination module, the entities of the second set of entities according to a set of segmentation rules;
- g) assessing a suitability of the set of segmentation rules based on survival ratings of the entities in one or more categories;
- h) responsive to a completion condition not being met, modifying, by the segmentation rules determination module, the set of segment rules and performing steps f) to h);
- and
- i) responsive to the completion condition being met, determining as an output of the segmentation rules determination module, the set of segment rules for categorising entities according to financial risk.
