Patent attributes
Techniques for compressing data transaction history profiles are disclosed. Such profiles can include a plurality of profile variables with each profile variable comprising a real number that provides a factor for determining whether a proposed data transaction is indicative of fraud. A bit string is generated for each profile variable in the profiles that characterizes a first value plus a second value. The first value is equal to a mantissa for the real number corresponding to the profile variable. The second value is equal to a number of orders of magnitude above a minimum required expressed as multiples of the number of orders magnitude required to represent the plurality of real numbers in each the plurality of transaction history profiles divided by a range of bits. The generated bit string is stored as compressed profile variable within the data transaction history profiles. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.
