  • Patent number: 11019107
    Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for identifying potential violation conditions from electronic communications. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data associated with an electronic communication and detecting, from the received data, and using a trainable model, an indicator of a potential violation condition, where the violation condition is associated with an activity that is a violation of a predetermined standard. The method also includes, responsive to detecting the indicator of the potential violation condition, marking the electronic communication as being associated with a potential violation condition, and presenting the potential violation condition to a user for review.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9009029
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a computer-implemented method for entity resolution is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes generating a semantic hash for an entity having an assigned entity identifier (ID) and, upon the occurrence of an entity milestone, changing the entity ID. The method further includes generating a semantic hash for the entity having the changed entity ID, and maintaining history information associated with the entity and corresponding entity IDs and semantic hashes over a period of time that includes a plurality of entity milestones. The method also includes periodically removing at least one set of older entities and retaining entity IDs and semantic hashes associated with the removed entities.

  • Patent number: 8457950
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a method for coreference resolution is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a segment of text that includes mentions corresponding to entities. A first feature vector is generated based on one or more features associated with a first mention, and a second feature vector is generated based on based on one or more features associated with a second mention. A measure of similarity between the first feature vector and second feature vector is computed and, based on the computed measure of similarity, it is determined if the first mention and the second mention both correspond to the same entity.
