Patent attributes
This application relates to apparatus and methods for identifying anomalies within data, such as pricing data. In some examples, a computing device receives data updates and selects a machine learning model to apply to the data update. The computing device may train the machine learning model with features generated based on historical purchase order data. An anomaly score is generated based on application of the machine learning model. Based on the anomaly score, the data update is either allowed, or denied. In some examples, the computing device re-trains the machine learning model with detected anomalies. In some embodiments, the computing device prioritizes detected anomalies for further investigation. In some embodiments, the computing device identifies the cause of the anomalies by identifying at least one feature that is causing the anomaly.
