Abstract
Systems and methods are described for improving the selection of one or more control sets based on a test set. More specifically, one or more match sets, each having one or more entities, are generated for the test entities in the test set. Then, an entity combination is generated for each possible combination of the entities in the one or more match sets. The entity combinations that are most similar to the test set are determined to be the control sets.
Claims20
A computing (or computer) system for improving the selection of one or more control sets based on a test set, the system comprising a server computing device having a memory for storing computer-executable instructions and a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions to:
- retrieve entities associated with an entity unit after receiving instructions to generate the one or more control sets based on the test set, wherein the test set includes one or more test entities that correspond to respective entities in the entity unit;
- determine one or more match sets for the test entities in the test set, wherein each match set includes a predetermined number of entities in the entity unit that are determined to be most similar to a corresponding test entity, the determination of a match set for each test entity comprising:
- generating an entity score for each entity in the entity unit, wherein the entity score is generated based on entity attributes associated with the entity and test attributes associated with the test entity;
- and
- generating the match set based on predetermined number of entities that have leading entity scores;
- remove entities in each of the match set that correspond to a test entity in the test set and that are duplicates of entities in other match sets, such that the one or more match sets includes entities that are unique;
- generate one or more entity combinations based on the entities in the one or more match sets, wherein the one or more entity combinations include one or more possible combinations of the entities in the one or more match sets;
- generate a combination score for each entity combination, wherein each combination score is generated based on combination attributes associated with the entity combination and test set attributes associated with the test entity;
- generate the one or more control sets based on predetermined number of entities that have leading combination scores;
- and
- display, on a user interface, the one or more control sets including the entities that are included in each of the one or more control sets.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to:
- retrieve entities associated with an entity unit after receiving instructions to generate one or more control sets based on a test set, wherein the test set includes one or more test entities that correspond to respective entities in the entity unit;
- determine one or more match sets for the test entities in the test set, wherein each match set includes a predetermined number of entities in the entity unit that are determined to be most similar to a corresponding test entity, the determination of a match set for each test entity comprising:
- generating an entity score for each entity in the entity unit, wherein the entity score is generated based on entity attributes associated with the entity and test attributes associated with the test entity;
- and
- generating the match set based on predetermined number of entities that have leading entity scores;
- remove entities in each of the match set that correspond to a test entity in the test set and that are duplicates of entities in other match sets, such that the one or more match sets includes entities that are unique;
- generate one or more entity combinations based on the entities in the one or more match sets, wherein the one or more entity combinations include one or more possible combinations of the entities in the one or more match sets;
- generate a combination score for each entity combination, wherein each combination score is generated based on combination attributes associated with the entity combination and test set attributes associated with the test entity;
- generate the one or more control sets based on a predetermined number of entities that have leading combination scores;
- and
- display, on a user interface, the one or more control sets including the entities that are included in each of the control sets.
A computerized method for validating the qualifications of an entity to prevent fraud, the method comprising:
- retrieving entities associated with an entity unit after receiving instructions to generate the one or more control sets based on the test set, wherein the test set includes one or more test entities that correspond to respective entities in the entity unit;
- determining one or more match sets for the test entities in the test set, wherein each match set includes a predetermined number of entities in the entity unit that are determined to be most similar to a corresponding test entity, the determination of a match set for each test entity comprising:
- generating an entity score for each entity in the entity unit, wherein the entity score is generated based on entity attributes associated with the entity and test attributes associated with the test entity;
- and
- generating the match set based on predetermined number of entities that have leading entity scores;
- removing entities in each of the match set that correspond to a test entity in the test set and that are duplicates of entities in other match sets, such that the one or more match sets includes entities that are unique;
- generating one or more entity combinations based on the entities in the one or more match sets, wherein the one or more entity combinations include one or more possible combinations of the entities in the one or more match sets;
- generating a combination score for each entity combination, wherein each combination score is generated based on combination attributes associated with the entity combination and test set attributes associated with the test entity;
- generating the one or more control sets based on predetermined number of entities that have leading combination scores;
- and
- displaying, on a user interface, the one or more control sets including the entities that are included in each of the one or more control sets.
