Fraud detection protects customer and enterprise information, assets, accounts and transactions through the real-time, near-real-time or batch analysis of activities by users and other defined entities (such as kiosks). It uses background server-based processes that examine users’ and other defined entities’ access and behavior patterns, and typically compares this information to a profile of what’s expected. Fraud detection is not intrusive to a user unless the user’s activity is suspect.

Footfall analysis is the use of analytic techniques to monitor waiting times in bank branch teller lines or lengths of waiting time to use automated teller machines (ATMs). Newer systems use fixed video cameras to track the movements of each visitor to the branch, with algorithms that compute individual and average waiting times. This entry refers to applications designed for collecting data, especially video-based, about customer wait times to measure and analyze traffic throughout the branch.

Folksonomies also known as social tagging, are user-defined metadata collections. Users do not deliberately create folksonomies and there is rarely a prescribed purpose, but a folksonomy evolves when many users create or store content at particular sites and identify what they think the content is about. “Tag clouds” pinpoint various identifiers and the frequency of use on a folksonomy site. This type of grass-roots community classification (similar to other social networking approaches, such as blogs and wikis) is subject to vandalism and manipulation; nevertheless, it is a fine example of collective intelligence.Do not confuse folksonomies with taxonomies. Folksonomies structure content via user tags; taxonomies are classifications defined by more formal methods that do not necessarily include user-generated tags and rarely are viewed as similar.
