DETERMINING THE DEGREE OF RELEVANCE OF DUPLICATE ALERTS IN AN ENTITY RESOLUTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for processing identity records received by an entity resolution system:
- receiving a first identity record;
associating the identity record with a first entity;
evaluating at least the first entity against one or more conditions specified in a relevance detection rule;
upon determining that the one or more conditions specified by the relevance detection rule are satisfied;
generating a first alert, andassigning an original alert relevance score to the first alert, determined, at least in part, on a rule relevance score associated with the relevance detection rule; and
upon determining that the first alert is a duplicate of a second, previously generated, alert;
retrieving at least an alert relevance score associated with the second alert, andassigning a current alert relevance score to the first alert, determined, at least in part, on the alert relevance score associated with the second alert and the original alert relevance score assigned to the first alert;
wherein each of the alert relevance scores provides a quantitative measure of relevance for an occurrence of an event that satisfies the one or more conditions of the relevance detection rule.

Abstract
An entity resolution system and alert analysis system configured to process inbound identity records and to generate alerts based on relevant identities, entities, conditions, activities, or events is disclosed. One process of resolving identity records and detecting relationships between entities may be performed using a pre-determined or configurable entity resolution rules. Further, the entity resolution system may include an alert analysis system configured to allow analysts to review and analyze alerts, entities, and identities, as well as provide comments or assign a disposition to alerts generated by the entity resolution system. Furthermore, the entity resolution system may be configured to handle duplicate alerts, i.e., one or more identical or near-identical alerts generated using the same entities and/or identities as well as assign a relevance score to the particular entities and identities included in the alert.

9. A computer-readable storage medium containing a program, which, when executed by a processor performs an operation for processing identity records received by an entity resolution system, the operation comprising:
-
receiving a first identity record; associating the first identity record with a first entity; evaluating at least the first entity against one or more conditions specified in a relevance detection rule; upon determining that the one or more conditions specified by the relevance detection rule are satisfied; generating a first alert, and assigning an original alert relevance score to the first alert, determined, at least in part, on a rule relevance score associated with the relevance detection rule; and upon determining that the first alert is a duplicate of a second, previously generated, alert; retrieving at least an alert relevance score associated with the second alert, and assigning a current alert relevance score to the first alert, determined, at least in part, on the alert relevance score associated with the second alert and the original alert relevance score assigned to the first alert;
wherein each of the alert relevance scores provides a quantitative measure of relevance for an occurrence of an event that satisfies the one or more conditions of the relevance detection rule. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory containing a program, which, when executed by the processor is configured to process identity records received by an entity resolution system by performing a method comprising; receiving a first identity record; associating the first identity record with a first entity; evaluating at least the first entity against one or more conditions specified in a relevance detection rule; upon determining that the one or more conditions specified by the relevance detection rule are satisfied; generating a first alert, and assigning an original alert relevance score to the first alert, determined, at least in part, on a rule relevance score associated with the relevance detection rule; and upon determining that the first alert is a duplicate of a second, previously generated, alert; retrieving at least an alert relevance score associated with the second alert, and assigning a current alert relevance score to the first alert, determined, at least in part, on the alert relevance score associated with the second alert and the original alert relevance score assigned to the first alert;
wherein each of the alert relevance scores provides a quantitative measure of relevance for an occurrence of an event that satisfies the one or more conditions of the relevance detection rule. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
