Method and apparatus for pattern generation
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for transforming scoreable transaction data into a financial data feature for use in assessing credit risk, the financial data feature being extracted from the scoreable transaction data, the method comprising:
- obtaining the scoreable transaction data from a data source; and
performing a set of operations on the scoreable transaction data to transform the scoreable transaction data into the financial data feature, the set of operations being selected only from a predefined set of classes of operations, the set of predefined classes of operations being arranged in a predefined order of precedence, wherein each operation in the set of operations is performed in an order based on the predefined order of precedence of a class associated with the each operator, the set of predefined classes of operations including at most five classes of operations, the five classes of operations being a data structure class, an atomic transformation class, an entity transformation class, a time transformation class, and a joining operator class, wherein performing the set of operations includes first performing a data structure operation associated with the data structure class.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for transforming scoreable transaction data into financial data features are disclosed. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method transforms transaction data into a financial data feature for assessing credit risks. The financial data feature is extracted from the transaction data. The method involves obtaining the transaction data from a data source, and performing a set of operations on the transaction data to transform the transaction data into the financial data feature. The set of operations is selected only from a predefined set of classes of operations which are interrelated by a predefined order of precedence. Each operation in the set of operations is performed in an order based on the predefined order of precedence of a class associated with each operator.

3. A computer-implemented method for implementing a pattern generator, the pattern generator being associated with a predictive process, the pattern generator being arranged to transform a given transaction, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a data stream, the data stream including at least one data field containing information associated with the given transaction; and performing at least one overall operation on the information to transform the information into a characteristic variable, the overall operation being selected from a set of five classes associated with the pattern generator, wherein when there is more than one overall operation to be performed, a first overall operation and a second overall operation are performed based on an order of precedence associated with the five classes, whereby the characteristic variable is arranged to be accepted as an input into the predictive process. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A pattern generation engine arranged to transform a given transaction into a characteristic variable, the given transaction being associated with a data stream including at least one data field, the characteristic variable being associated with a modeling process, the pattern generation engine including:
-
a first class which includes at least one operation arranged to relate the data field to a database; a second class which includes at least one operation arranged to transform the data field from a first format into an atomic format; a third class which includes at least one operation arranged to transform the data field from an atomic format into a second format; a fourth class which includes at least one operation arranged to perform calculations using the data field; and a fifth class which includes at least one operation arranged to relate the data field to additional information, wherein the characteristic variable is generated using at least one of the at least one operation in the first class, the at least one operation in the second class, the at least one operation in the third class, the at least one operation in the fourth class, and the at least one operation in the fifth class. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
