Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems that perform item recognition and profile generation for dynamic event processing. A computing platform may receive a first check image containing first check data, and may generate a profile correlating the first check data to a user account. The computing platform may receive a second check image containing second check data. The computing platform may receive profile information corresponding to one or more recognized fields of the second check image, where the profile information includes the information associated with the profile. The computing platform may determine whether a confidence score indicating a correlation between the second check data and the profile exceeds a predetermined correlation threshold. Based on determining that the confidence score does exceed the predetermined correlation threshold, the computing platform may send commands directing an event processing platform to process the second check image based on the profile.

A computing platform may determine whether a correlation between source data and metadata associated with a check exceeds a predetermined correlation threshold. Based on determining that the correlation does not exceed the predetermined correlation threshold, the computing platform may direct an OCR computing system to perform character recognition on the check. Then, the computing platform may determine whether a discrepancy between the metadata and an OCR output from the OCR computing system exceeds a predetermined resolution threshold. In response to determining that the discrepancy between the OCR output and the metadata does not exceed the predetermined resolution threshold, the computing platform may update stored records associated with the check.

A set of blocks to be copied from a source volume to a target volume is designated and copied while an operating system is configured to write to the source volume. Blocks of the source volume that were written to by the operating system while the operating system was configured to write to the source volume are identified Finalization settings are analyzed to determine whether to enter a CoW mode. If the CoW mode should not be entered, the designated set of blocks is changed to include at least one of the identified blocks and a pass is repeated. Otherwise, the operating system is instructed to enter the CoW mode and bring the target volume into a state consistent with a state of the source volume.
