Technologies for Efficient Detection of Money Laundering

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a compute device, financial account data pertaining to multiple individuals;
• defining, by the compute device, a coordinate space in which to map the individuals associated with the obtained data, including performing a dimensionality reduction on the obtained data;
• mapping, by the compute device, each individual according to the coordinate space;
• defining, by the compute device, one or more centroids in the coordinate space as a function of features of individuals previously flagged as having a defined characteristic;
• and
• flagging, by the compute device, each mapped individual that satisfies a distance threshold from a corresponding centroid in the coordinate space or that is within a defined number of closest individuals to the corresponding centroid as having the defined characteristic.

One or more machine-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed, cause a compute device to:

• obtain financial account data pertaining to multiple individuals;
• define a coordinate space in which to map the individuals associated with the obtained data, including performing a dimensionality reduction on the obtained data;
• map each individual according to the coordinate space;
• define one or more centroids in the coordinate space as a function of features of individuals previously flagged as having a defined characteristic;
• and
• flag each mapped individual that satisfies a distance threshold from a corresponding centroid in the coordinate space or that is within a defined number of closest individuals to the corresponding centroid as having the defined characteristic.
