  • Patent number: 11961094
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically analyzing handwritten text to determine a mismatch between a purported writer and an actual writer is disclosed. The method comprises receiving two samples of digitized handwriting each allegedly created by one individual and received and entered into a digital system by another. The method further comprises performing a series of feature extractions to convert the samples into two vectors of extracted features; automatically clustering a set of vectors such that the first vector and the second vector are assigned to the same cluster among multiple clusters, based on vector similarity; and automatically determining that a same individual being associated with both the first and second samples indicates a heightened probability that the individual fraudulently created both samples. Finally, the method comprises automatically transmitting a message to flag additional samples of digitized handwriting entered into a digital system as possibly fraudulent.

  • Patent number: 11922327
    Abstract: Domain specific knowledge base (KB) contains all concepts from domain and the semantic relations between concepts. The concepts and the semantic relations are extracted from an existing corpus of content for the domain. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) can be used and two types of semantic relations can be captured: hierarchal and associative. A Natural Language Processing (NLP) software engine can parse the input text to create a semantic knowledge graph, which is then mapped to a SKOS knowledge model. During the linguistic understanding of the text, relevant domain concepts are identified and connected by semantic links. Concepts automatically identified as most important in this domain can be promoted to another layer, referred to as “Topics.
