MACHINE-LEARNING TECHNIQUES INVOLVING MONOTONIC RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORKS

Various aspects involve a monotonic recurrent neural network (MRNN) trained for risk assessment or other purposes. For instance, the MRNN is trained to compute a risk indicator from a predictor variable. Training the MRNN includes adjusting weights of nodes of the MRNN subject to a set of monotonicity constraints, wherein the set of monotonicity constraints causes output risk indicators computed by the RNN to be a monotonic function of input predictor variables. The trained monotonic RNN can be used to generate an output risk indicator for a target entity.
