Abstract: Systems and methods for adjudicating AI-augmented automated analysis of documents in order to quickly and efficiently make various adjudications based on the documents are provided, including adjudications as to whether the documents represent underlying data that meets one or more predefined or dynamically-determined criteria. Criteria for adjudication may include commercial-substance criteria, related-party-transaction criteria, and/or collectability criteria. A system may receive a plurality of documents and generate a plurality of feature vectors by applying natural language processing techniques. The system may apply one or more classification models to the plurality of feature vectors to generate output data classifying each of the feature vectors. The system may identify, for each feature vector, a subset of closest matching prior feature vectors.

Abstract: A system for generating risk assessments based on a data representing a plurality of statements and data representing corroborating evidence is provided. The system receives data representing a plurality of statements and data representing corroborating evidence. The system applies one or more integrity analysis models to the first data and the second data in order to generate an assessment of a risk that one or more of the plurality of statements represents a material misstatement. A system for generating an assessment of faithfulness of data is provided. The system compared data representing a statement to data representing corroborating evidence, and generates a similarity metric representing their similarity. Based on the similarity metric, the system generates an output representing an assessment of faithfulness of the first data set.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining whether an electronic document constitutes vouching evidence is provided. The system may receive ERP item data and generate hypothesis data based thereon, and may receive electronic document data and extract ERP information therefrom. The system may then apply one or more models to compare the hypothesis data to the extracted ERP information to determine whether the electronic document constitutes vouching evidence for the ERP item. Systems and methods for verifying an assertion against a source document are provided. The system may receive first data indicating an unverified assertion and second data comprising a plurality of source documents. The system may apply one or more extraction models to extract a set of key data from the plurality of source documents and may apply one or more matching models to compare the first data to the set of key data to determine whether vouching criteria are met.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing explainability for processing data through multiple layers are provided. An input layer is configured to receive an evidence data set comprising a plurality of evidence items, apply evidence processing models to the evidence data set to generate evidence understanding data, and generate input-layer explainability data, wherein the input-layer explainability data represents information about the processing of the evidence data set by the input layer. A presentation layer is configured to receive data (the evidence understanding data and/or data generated based on the evidence understanding data), apply one or more presentation generation models to the received data to generate presentation data, and generate presentation-layer explainability data for presentation to the user, wherein the presentation-layer explainability data represents information about the processing of the received data set by the presentation layer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated document processing for use in AI-augmented auditing platforms are provided. A system for determining the composition of document bundles extracts substantive content information and metadata information from a document bundle and generates, based on the extracted information regarding a composition of the document bundle. A system for validating signatures in documents extracts data representing a spatial location for respective signatures and generates a confidence level for respective signatures, and determines, based on location and confidence level, whether signature criteria are met. A system for extracting information from documents applies a set of data conversion processing steps to a plurality received documents to generate structured data, and then applies a set of knowledge-based modeling processing steps to the structured data to generating output data extracted from the plurality of electronic documents.

Abstract: A robot end effector (10) for holding a fabric workpiece (64) against a working surface (74) has a rigid backing member (11), a facing strip material (13) arranged to contact the workpiece (64) around its periphery and a resilient intermediate layer (12) between the backing member (11) and the facing strip material (13), the width (w) of the facing strip material (13) being no greater than the thickness (t) of the intermediate layer (12).

Abstract: A method of unfolding a doubled piece of textile material (20), which comprises a first piece of material (21) and a further piece of material (22) disposed adjacent a surface (25) of the material (21), includes the steps of holding the first piece of material (21) so as to leave the further piece of material (22) free, and creating an air current, for example from a nozzle (4), to move the further piece of material (22) away from the surface (25).

Abstract: A workpiece is placed on a retractable tray above a desired location and covered with a flexible sheet. As the tray is retracted, the flexible sheet prevents the workpiece from following the tray and allows the workpiece to move down into the desired location.

Abstract: A flat knitting machine including a presser foot assembly comprising a support mounted on the machine for movement along the needle array of the machine and at least one presser foot mounted on the support. The assembly includes a supporting arm carried on the support and itself carrying a slider on which a presser foot is mounted, the supporting arm providing a structure for effecting guided displacement of the slider up-and-down in relation to the needles. Resilient means, such as one or more springs, are arranged to urge the slider and presser foot down, away from the support, so that the presser foot can ride up on the supporting arm against the pressure of the resilient means and thus the whole of the presser foot extending from in advance of the rising needles to the rear of the fully raised needle position is resiliently mounted in the machine.

Abstract: A yarn take-up mechanism for a knitting machine, especially a flat V-bed knitting machine comprises a yarn take-up arm pivotally mounted at one end on a stanchion and urged by a spring to pivot so that its other end moves away from the stanchion. Said other end of the arm carries a movable yarn guide and the yarn path in the take-up mechanism is from a fixed yarn guide on the stanchion through the movable yarn guide and back to the other fixed guide on the stanchion, the fixed guides being close together and adjacent the location of the movable guide when it is in the position closest to the stanchion. The end of the take-up arm carrying the movable yarn guide is flexible whereas the remainder of the arm is stiff.
