A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11922290B2) describes a system that involves a processor receiving historical data points and training a machine learning model to predict future transaction metrics. The system utilizes a fast Fourier transform (FFT) layer, a feature extraction component, and a dual-attention component to process the data. The processor combines real and imaginary parts of different features from historical and contemporary time periods to generate predictions for a target transaction metric during a specified period. The model is trained to provide accurate outputs based on the input data, allowing for effective forecasting of transaction metrics.

Furthermore, the patent details a method and a computer program product that follow a similar process of receiving historical data, training a machine learning model, and utilizing various components to generate predictions for future transaction metrics. The method involves determining time series data associated with historical and contemporary transaction metrics, processing the data through a series of layers, and generating attention matrices based on real and imaginary inputs. By combining different features and utilizing convolutional layers, the system aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of predicting target transaction metrics. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system, method, and computer program product for leveraging machine learning techniques to forecast transaction metrics based on historical data points.
