  • Publication number: 20230177267
    Abstract: A computer-implemented tool for automated classification and interpretation of documents, such as life science documents supporting clinical trials, is configured to perform a combination of raw text, document construct, and image analyses to enhance classification accuracy by enabling a more comprehensive machine-based understanding of document content. The combination of analyses provides context for classification by leveraging relative spatial relationships among text and image elements, identifying characteristics and formatting of elements, and extracting additional metadata from the documents as compared to conventional automated classification tools, wherein natural language processing (NLP) is applied to associate text with tokens, and relevant differences and similarities between protocols are identified.

  • Publication number: 20210295031
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for performing quality review of life science documents is described. One or more of the life science documents are scanned by a mobile device, wherein the one or more life science documents are sent to a database. Language, image, rotation, and noise are among the content that is checked among the life science documents, and wherein similarities, suspicious changes, document layouts, and missing sections are checked among the one or more life science documents. In addition, feedback is sent by a system to an originator of the life science documents based on the content regarding imaging, rotation, and noise and the similarities, suspicious changes, document layouts and missing sections.
