MULTIDIMENSIONAL RISK-BASED DETECTION
A computerized method detects suspicious and fraudulent activities in a group of subjects by defining and dynamically integrating multidimensional risks into a mathematical model. A subset of multidimensional risk-weighted detection algorithms are selected so that suspicious or fraudulent activities in the group of subjects can be effectively detected with higher resolution and accuracy. A priority sequence is produced to determine the priority of each detected case during the investigation process. Any set of multidimensional risks identifies a group of subjects that contain this set of multidimensional risks so that group statistics can be obtained for comparison and other analytical purposes. The detection results may adjust the definitions of the multidimensional risks, the mathematical model, and the multidimensional risk-weighted detection algorithms.
1 . A computerized method to detect suspicious activities of a subject, comprising:
providing a first set of temples to establish a plurality of characteristics based on a plurality of subjects;
providing a second set of templates to establish a plurality of detection algorithms, each of the plurality of detection algorithms being associated with a least one of the plurality of the characteristics; and
detecting suspicious activities of the subject with at least one detection algorithm selected from the plurality of detection algorithms associated with at least one of the plurality of characteristics of the subject.
2 . The method of claim 1 in which the plurality of characteristics include at least one of a transactional pattern, behavior pattern, historical pattern, nature, geographical location, social status, business type, occupation type, identification code, political relationship, foreign relationship, ownership, and organizational structure of the subject.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
filing a regulatory report when a suspicious activity is detected.
4 . A computer system to detect suspicious activities of a subject, comprising:
a memory device; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured:
to provide a first set of temples to establish a plurality of characteristics based on a plurality of subjects;
to provide a second set of templates to establish a plurality of detection algorithms, each of the plurality of detection algorithms being associated with a least one of the plurality of the characteristics; and
to detect suspicious activities of the subject with at least one detection algorithm selected from the plurality of detection algorithms associated with at least one of the plurality of characteristics of the subject.
5 . The system of claim 4 in which the plurality of characteristics include at least one of a transactional pattern, behavior pattern, historical pattern, nature, geographical location, social status, business type, occupation type, identification code, political relationship, foreign relationship, ownership, and organizational structure of the subject.
6 . The system of claim 4 , in which the processor is further configured to submit a regulatory report when a suspicious activity is detected.
