Abstract

Claims (66)

1. A computer-implemented method for onboarding a real property asset into an Alternative Trading System (ATS), the method comprising:

electronically collecting a digital image, supplied by an owner of the real property asset and purported to be an image of the real property asset, into a database;

finding unique identifiers corresponding to each of one or more property features depicted within the digital image;

automatically and subsequent to accessing the unique identifiers, utilizing an artificial intelligence module validating relevancy of the depicted one or more depicted property features, including:

electronically collecting a second data set into the database using the unique identifiers, the second data set considered as corresponding to the real property asset based on the unique identifiers;

cross-referencing the digital image with the second data set; and

confirming the depicted one or more property features are features of the real property asset based on results of the cross-referencing;

responsive to the confirmation, listing a fractional interest in the real property asset for sale at the ATS; and

automatically, as part of a constant training cycle and concurrently with listing the fractional interest, training the artificial intelligence module using the confirmation, the depicted one or more property features, and the second data set as training data improving data validating performance of the artificial intelligence module.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein electronically collecting a second data set into the database using the unique identifiers comprises collecting a second digital image known to be an image of the real estate asset from one of: the Internet, satellite imagery, or survey data;

wherein cross-referencing the digital image with the second data set comprises comparing the digital image to the second digital image determining a similarity between the digital image and the second digital image; and

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to validating relevancy of the depicted one or more property features, an image classification algorithm auto-identifying a context within the digital image; and

wherein validating relevancy of the depicted one or more property features comprises validating relevancy of the depicted one or more property features to the real property asset based on the context.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, prior to validating relevancy of the depicted one or more property features, an image quality algorithm auto-determining quality of the digital image and quality the second digital image are sufficient for cross-referencing.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

prior to collecting the digital image, electronically collecting an additional digital image, purported by the property owner to be an image of the real property asset, into the database; and

an image similarity algorithm auto-determining the digital image adds incremental value to the ATS by being sufficiently different from the additional digital image.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein confirming the depicted one or more property features are features of the real property asset comprises a model:

scoring the cross-referencing by generating a confidence score representing a probability both the digital image and the second digital image are of the real property asset; and

determining the confidence score satisfies a control threshold.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising electronically collecting a third digital image from a different data source than the second digital image; and

wherein cross-referencing the digital image with the second digital image comprises cross-referencing the digital image with the second digital image and the third digital image.

10. A system comprising:
