Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for a lineage identification and tracking system. The system generates codes each resource instrument created, such as physical or paper resource instrument, with an index that can track the instrument via a qubit. The coded index is stored. During the life of the resource instrument a quantum optimizer may be utilized for lineage tracking of the instrument. Thus, generating an assigned traceability finger print for the life of the instrument generating a lineage tree. Thus, the invention identifies the instrument and that the instrument can only be at one place at one time, thus providing aid in detecting misappropriation of physical or paper resource instruments.

Abstract: A method is provided for role-oriented risk analysis in a contract. The method generates, using deep semantic association analysis, a report specifying a set of potential risks relating to explicit and hidden roles of contract parties. The generating step categorizes input statements of the contract into respective obligation/right pairs according to a deep semantic association distribution thereof. Each pair includes a respective obligation and a respective right. The generating step detects deep semantic differences between the respective pairs and a set of reference obligation/right pairs. The generating step identifies the explicit and hidden roles of the involved parties in the respective obligations/rights pairs according to domain-specific use scenarios and multidimensional local and global context clues in the contract. The generating step identifies the set of potential risks by applying a deep semantic role-oriented risk entailment model to the deep semantic differences.
