Research and innovation at Featurespace
Our mission is to develop new algorithms and methodologies that make the world a safer place to transact. Our research continues the direction set by our academic founders from the University of Cambridge, Professor Bill Fitzgerald and his PhD student Dave Excell.
We believe it is only through continued research and innovation that financial institutions can stay ahead of the criminals, and so we have set up our Innovation Lab in Cambridge (UK) to lead this effort on the behalf of the wider financial industry and its consumers.
Deep learning produces predictively powerful models when its architecture is well tuned to the structure of the data. Our research focuses on applying sequential deep learning algorithms, such as recurrent neural networks and transformers, to behavioral event sequences. This research line underpinned both our launch of Automated Deep Behavioral Networks in 2021, and the launch of Tallier, the world's first Large Transaction Model, in Fall 2023.
A lot of predictively useful information for fighting financial crime is siloed across organizations. This research line aims to create collaborative AI systems that share insights while preserving the privacy of sensitive data fields. This work is supported by a grant from Innovate UK and received a prize in the PETs Prize Challenge Competition (2023).
Our systems make decisions that impact real lives, so it is imperative our systems can be trusted with those decisions. Our research into trustworthy AI aims to reinforce this trust for cutting-edge machine learning models by making their logic and impact transparent, interpretable and fair.
