US Patent 11704673 Systems and methods for identity graph based fraud detection

A method and apparatus for fraud detection during transactions using identity graphs are described. The method may include receiving, at a commerce platform system, a transaction from a user having initial transaction attributes and transaction data. The method may also include determining, by the commerce platform system, an identity associated with the user, wherein the identity is associated with additional transaction attributes not received with the transaction. Furthermore, the method may include accessing, by the commerce platform system, a feature set associated with the initial transaction attributes and the additional transaction attributes, wherein the feature set comprises machine learning (ML) model features for detecting transaction fraud. The method may also include performing, by the commerce platform system, a machine learning model analysis using the feature set and the transaction data to determine a likelihood that the transaction is fraudulent, and performing, by the commerce platforms system, the transaction when the likelihood that the transaction is fraudulent does not satisfy a transaction fraud threshold.
