  • Patent number: 11687827
    Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based regulatory data processing system accesses a regulatory text corpus for training machine learning (ML) models including a topic extraction model, a feature selection model, an entity identification model and a section classification model. The regulatory text corpus includes documents pertaining to a specific domain corresponding to a received domain-specific regulatory text document. Various trained machine learning (ML) models are used to extract topics, identify entities from the new regulatory document and to classify portions of the domain-specific regulatory text document into one of a plurality of predetermined sections. The information in the new regulatory document is therefore converted into machine consumable form which can facilitate automatic execution of downstream processes such as identification of actions needed to implement the regulations and robotic process automation (RPA).

  • Patent number: 11675970
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and products for auto tagging structured PDF documents that do not have accessibility tags. In one embodiment, structured PDF documents having accessibility tags are first parsed and analyzed to organize the visual components of the documents. The relationships of the identified objects to DOM elements (e.g., tags) are determined, and the objects and related DOM elements are stored in training files. The training files are used to train various classifiers. Untagged PDF documents are then parsed to identify included visual objects, and the classifiers are used to determine DOM elements that should be associated with visual objects identified in the untagged PDF documents. This information is used to construct a DOM structure corresponding to each untagged document. A new PDF is then generated corresponding to each untagged document using the generated DOM structure and visual object information.

  • Patent number: 11604981
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for training a machine-learning model utilizing batchwise weighted loss functions and scaled padding based on source density. For example, the disclosed systems can determine a density of words or phrases in digital content from a digital content source that indicate an affinity towards one or more content classes. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can use the determined source density to split digital content from the source into segments and pad the segments with padding characters based on the source density. The disclosed systems can also generate document embeddings using the padded segments and then train the machine-learning model using the document embeddings. Furthermore, the disclosed system can use batchwise weighted cross entropy loss for applying different class weightings on a per-batch basis during training of the machine-learning model.

  • Patent number: 11556838
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for determining association rules using a machine learning technique on a subset of data to which the association rules might apply, and from which they can be determined. In particular, association rules are determined by tracking changes to attribute values of data objects having a type. The changed attribute value can be used as a consequent in an association rule. Values of other attributes of data objects having the changed attribute value can be used as antecedents in association rules. Values used in antecedents can be constrained, such as by limiting values to those associated with scope attributes or values satisfying a threshold occurrence frequency. In some cases, determined association rules can be automatically implemented, such as to process input or stored data for data objects of the type.
