Streaming Graph Processing on Categorical Data Enables Real-time Risk Calculation

The failure of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023 exemplifies the severe consequences of not accurately assessing risk in a timely manner. Although nearly every financial institution prioritizes risk minimization, their methods for calculating risk often rely on detailed analysis of categorical data and relationships. Most existing algorithms, however, only handle static, numeric data. This requires transforming the data, typically through methods like one-hot encoding, into numerical formats that are bulky, sparse, and slow to process. After analysis, the data often needs to be converted back to its original categories, adding to the inefficiency. Current state-of-the-art solutions take hours to deliver insights.

If we could perform this analysis earlier in the process, using the original categorical data as it streams in without modification, we could reduce the mean time to insight to seconds, potentially saving financial institutions significant amounts of money. This approach could also enable new capabilities, such as using graph NLP on streaming data to identify novel behaviors and detect anomalies like cyber-attacks before they impact systems. The combination of fast, in-line data processing engines like Flink or KsqlDB with graph algorithms and categorical analysis is exceptionally powerful. Join us to learn about a new open-source streaming intelligence system that revolutionizes risk analysis and other fast categorical data processing.
