  • Patent number: 11392756
    Abstract: Systems and methods to improve a technological process for signing documents are described. The system accesses a portable document format (PDF) file and a first signature tag marker element (STME) to parse the PDF to generate logical text block elements (LTBE). The LTBEs describe original document elements in the PDF including a first LTBE. The system sorts each LTBE against the first STME to pair the first LTBE with the first STME based on proximity. The system generates markup language information (MLI) for utilization at the client device (CD) for rendering a responsive markup language image (RMLI) in a responsive format and communicates the MLI to a CD for rendering the RMLI on the CD. The system receives the signing information from the CD causing the signing information to be associated with the first signature tag marker identifier and communicates the PDF and the signing information to the CD.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs language encoded on a computer storage medium for a logic sentence length reduction system whereby input text is modified to a logical and grammatical state using a reinforcement learning system with a real-time grammar engine and a real-time logic engine. The logic sentence length reduction system breaks sentences into fragments. An agent performs actions to each sentence fragment such that fragments are reconstructed into complete sentences. The real-time logic and real-time grammar engine are provided a reward for producing a grammatical and logical sentence. The reinforcement-learning agent optimizes a policy to reconstruct logical and grammatical sentences from sentence fragments maximizing future reward.

  • Patent number: 11281783
    Abstract: The disclosed enhanced document creation and parsing systems deal with enhanced documents that allow for the presentation of document content in a preferred visual manner, while ensuring that the document content can be captured accurately by an automated parser with nothing being discarded or misrepresented. The enhanced document creation system may create an enhanced document by encoding document content in accordance with a defined schema, optionally encrypting the resulting structured data into an encrypted byte string, and embedding the encrypted byte string as non-visible metadata in a rendered document. The resulting enhanced document can be completely and accurately parsed by an enhanced document parsing system that is capable of extracting, decrypting and decoding the embedded document metadata.
