The patent US12061629B2 outlines a method and system for processing transaction records using a cluster-level classifier. The method begins with receiving a transaction record and processing it to predict its belonging to a specific cluster among multiple clusters. This prediction is based on a classifier trained with labeled transaction records, which include tag-level sequence data derived from token sequences and associated tags representing various aspects of the records. The clustering process involves analyzing distances and the ordering of tags within the tag sequences. Once the appropriate cluster is identified, a corresponding cluster-specific classifier is utilized to predict relevant labels of interest, which characterize specific attributes of the transaction records. The final output is a representation of the transaction record linked to the predicted label, intended for storage or further data processing.

Additionally, the patent specifies that the method can involve various techniques, such as computing Levenshtein distances for clustering and employing character-level Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for training classifiers. The tags can represent diverse aspects of the transaction, including merchant names, card numbers, and transaction locations. The system is designed to enhance the classification and labeling of transaction records, thereby improving data management and processing efficiency. The claims also highlight the potential for the transaction record to include descriptions from service provider computers, detailing financial transactions between parties. Overall, the patent presents a structured approach to transaction record classification and labeling, leveraging advanced machine learning techniques.
