Publication number: 20240111816Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for finding documents that are similar to a reference text. The inventive systems and methods examine a set of collected documents to determine the facts present in those documents by, for example, extracting triplets and expanding them. A user's input reference text is similarly examined to extract and expand triplets therein and the facts identified with respect to the reference text are used as a basis to find documents having similar facts. The present disclosure is also related to systems and methods for mining facts from documents relating to a primary source such as a piece of legislation and using the mined facts to improve the results of subsequent searches.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2017Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbHInventors: Mina Farid, Brian Zubert, Lisa Bender, Hella-Franziska Hoffmann

Publication number: 20230409623Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for detecting deviations from a standard document in a document being analyzed. The inventive systems and methods include performing a first level analysis to detect portions of a standard that are identical to, similar to, deleted from, and added to a document being evaluated. A second level analysis may be applied to those portions of the standard that are similar, but not identical to, portions of the document being evaluated to assist a user in identifying similarities and differences between the two portions of text.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbHInventors: Elizabeth ROMAN, Hella-Franziska HOFFMANN, Josh LEMAITRE, Nikolai NEFEDOV, David VON RICKENBACH

Patent number: 11609959Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for ingesting content from data feeds and to generate an enhanced output of relevant content for presentation to a user to facilitate analysis of the relevant content. Content is received from data feeds, and filtered to identify relevant content with respect to a particular context. The relevant content is then processed, e.g., using natural language processes, to extract entities involved, and to also identify particular activities detailed in the relevant content. Activity-mining is applied to the identified relevant data to classify and assigned activity tags to the extracted entity. Based on the extracted and identified information, an enhanced output is generated for presentation to facilitate research operations. The enhanced output may include overlaid graphical annotations, indicators, and graphical controls over the relevant articles to provide a means for updating a database based on the relevant content.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2018Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Refinitiv US Organization LLCInventors: Yue Feng, Brian Romer, David Reed, Omar Bari, Hella-Franziska Hoffmann, Amit Shavit, Song Qiaoqi, Johannes Schleith, Isaac Kriegman, Amir Hajian Forushani, Shiqi Li, Nick Jarema

Patent number: 11550810Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer-assisted guided review of unstructured data to generate a structured data output based on customizable template rules. In embodiments, an unstructured file is received, and a predefined template is selected. The predefined template includes a plurality of fields, each field corresponding to a field of the structured report. The predefined template also defines extraction rules for each field of the predefined template, and the extraction rules define parameters for identifying unstructured data relevant to the associated field. The extraction rules are applied to the unstructured file to identify data relevant to the field associated with the corresponding extraction rule, and the data identified as relevant is confirmed. Confirming the relevant data includes determining to refine the relevant data based on a condition, and modifying the extraction rule associated with the field to refine the relevant data.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbHInventors: Hella-Franziska Hoffmann, Johannes Schleith

Publication number: 20210350080Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for detecting deviations between documents and portions thereof, extracting information from text and detecting deviations between obligations. Deviations are detected by splitting sentences in two documents apart, matching sentences from the different documents and detecting deviations between the matched sentences.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: Thomson Reuters Enterprise Centre GmbHInventors: Sally Gao, HELLA-FRANZISKA HOFFMANN, NINA HRISTOZOVA, ELIZABETH ROMAN, NICOLAI POGREBNYAKOV, YUE FENG, MASOUD MAKREHCHI, TATE STERLING AVERY, SHOHREH SHAGHAGHIAN, BORNA JAFARPOUR

Patent number: 11069018Abstract: In accordance with one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to of determining relative importance of a plurality of entities in a supply chain of a company. One way of doing this is identifying for the company, the plurality of entities in the supply chain, and determining the relative importance of each of the plurality of entities within the supply chain. The relative importance is determined via at least one processor circuit programmed to determine, for each respective entity in the supply chain, a relative buying power, a supplier revenue fraction, and an industry revenue exposure. The processor circuit is programmed to compute a relative importance score for each respective entity in the supply chain, as a function of the determined buying power, supplier fraction, and industry revenue exposure for the respective entity.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Refinitiv US Organization LLCInventors: Hella-Franziska Hoffmann, Daniella Tsar, Tharindi Hapuarachchi
