Machine learning tool for reconciling transactions
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11861695B2) outlines a method for reconciling transactions using machine learning tools. The method involves training a community predictor and a user predictor with relevant data, presenting reconciliation suggestions to a user for validation, and re-training the user predictor based on user feedback. Additionally, the community predictor determines confidence levels for reconciliation suggestions, and the machine learning tool selects the best suggestion based on the highest confidence level.
Furthermore, the method includes features for reconciling transactions in bank statements, such as entity names and account details, and can be segmented for different geographical regions. The system described in the patent comprises processors that perform operations related to training predictors, providing a user interface for validation, and re-training the user predictor. The patent also covers a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium with instructions for training predictors, determining reconciliation suggestions, presenting them to users, and re-training the user predictor based on validated suggestions.
