Patent number: 11734782Abstract: Manual human processing of documents often generates results that are subjective and include human-error. The cost and relatively slow speed of manual, human analysis makes it effectively impossible or impracticable to perform document analysis at the scale, speed, and cost desired in many industries. Accordingly, it may be advantageous to employ objective, accurate rule-based techniques to evaluate and process documents. This application discloses data processing equipment and methods specially adapted for a specific application: analysis of the breadth of documents. The processing may include context-dependent pre-processing of documents and sub-portions of the documents. The sub-portions may be analyzed based on word count and commonality of words in the respective sub-portions. The equipment and methods disclosed herein improve upon other automated techniques to provide document processing by achieving a result that quantitatively improves upon manual, human processing.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: AON RISK SERVICES, INC. OF MARYLANDInventors: William Michael Edmund, John E. Bradley, III, Daniel Crouse

Patent number: 11393237Abstract: Automatic processing of documents often generates results far different from those obtained by manual human processing. For a given document processing task, many different techniques can be tried but it is often not known which will best emulate manual, human processing. This application discloses data processing equipment and methods specially adapted for a specific application: analysis of the breadth of documents. The processing may include context-dependent pre-processing of documents and sub-portions of the documents. The sub-portions may be analyzed based on word count and commonality of words in the respective sub-portions. The equipment and methods disclosed herein improve upon other automated techniques to provide document processing by achieving a result that is quantitatively closer to manual, human processing.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: AON RISK SERVICES, INC.

Patent number: 11379665Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and use of document analysis architectures are disclosed. A model builder component may be utilized to receiving user input data for labeling a set of documents as in class or out of class. That user input data may be utilized to train one or more classification models, which may then be utilized to predict classification of other documents. Trained models may be incorporated into a model taxonomy for searching and use by other users for document analysis purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: AON RISK SERVICES, INC.
