Publication number: 20240370952Abstract: A system and method for predicting an outcome of a court case, includes a method for identifying and linking motion and order pairs of documents of a docket. The motion and order pairs are using multiple techniques including database links, rules, and a transformer-based model. The outcome of a particular case is predicted based on the outcomes of other cases having a sequence of events similar to or the same as the particular case.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2023Publication date: November 7, 2024Applicant: Bloomberg Finance L.P.Inventors: Madhavan SESHADRI, Leslie BARRETT, Mohit NIHALANI, Santosh NAIDU

Publication number: 20240177509Abstract: A system for extracting useful information from the documents associated with various courts' dockets uses a bidirectional long short-term memory (BILSTM)-Attention-conditional random fields (CRF) architecture having a multi-headed output layer producing an outcome and settlement classification. The system includes a BILSTM layer, an attention layer, a CRF layer, and a sigmoid layer that interact to produce the outcome and settlement classification.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: May 30, 2024Applicant: Bloomberg L.P.Inventors: Madhavan SESHADRI, Leslie BARRETT

Patent number: 8468442Abstract: A method of viewing information associated with data in a spreadsheet, includes providing a document including data and information associated with the data, parsing the document to retrieve the associated information, processing the associated information to break the associated information down into at least one sentence, categorizing the at least one sentence to determine whether the at least one sentence corresponds to at least one category in a taxonomy corresponding to the data, assigning an association strength to the categorized at least one sentence, the association strength indicating a likelihood that the categorized at least one sentence actually corresponds to the at least one category in the taxonomy, filtering the at least one categorized sentence based on the association strength to determine whether to match the categorized at least one sentence with the at least one category in the taxonomy and outputting only the categorized at least one sentence matched with the at least one category in thType: GrantFiled: February 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: RR Donnelley Financial, Inc.Inventors: Stefan Chopin, Robert Krugman, Marc Strausberg, Leslie Barrett

Patent number: 7937386Abstract: A method and system for text extraction employs structured annotations that are embedded within a text document and specify the start and end of a document segment and an associated rhetorical relation. The structured annotations are processed to generate and store variables that represent document segments and associated rhetorical relations. A user interacts with a computer to define query input that specifies at least one rhetorical relation of interest. The query input is processed to query the stored variables to identify document segments associated with a rhetorical relation that matches the rhetorical relation of interest and to return to the user information pertaining to the matching document segments. The rhetorical relation of interest as well as the stored variables can include RST relations whose meaning is dictated by nuclearity of the associated text as well as Speech Act relations whose meaning extends beyond the situational semantics of the associated text.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Complyon Inc.Inventors: Leslie A. Barrett, Morton D. Mackof

Publication number: 20100169309Abstract: A method and system for extraction of text from a set of text document(s). A plurality of document segments are identified within a given text document. For each document segment, at least one structured annotation is embedded within the document and associated with the given segment. The structured annotation specifies the start and end of the given document segment and a rhetorical relation associated with the given segment. The structured annotations are processed generate a plurality of variables that represent document segments and associated rhetorical relations as specified by the structured annotations, and such variables are stored in a data repository. A user interacts with a computer to define query input that specifies at least one rhetorical relation of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: Leslie A. Barrett, Morton D. Mackof

Publication number: 20100169359Abstract: A method and system for extraction of text from a set of text document(s). A data repository stores a plurality of variables that represent document segments and associated rhetorical relations. A user interacts with a computer to define query input that specifies at least one rhetorical relation of interest. The query input specified by the user is processed to query the variables stored in the data repository to identify zero or more document segments that are associated with a rhetorical relation that matches the at least one rhetorical relation of interest specified by the query input. Information corresponding to the zero or more matching document segments is returned to the user. In the preferred embodiment, the rhetorical relations represented by the user supplied query input as well as the variables stored in the data repository include a set of RST relations whose meaning is dictated by nuclearity of the associated text.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Inventors: Leslie A.

Publication number: 20020033127Abstract: The boat is essentially mono hulled in its appearance but has the capacity wherein the lower and outer sections of the hull can be hinged out of a concave recess under the main deck and behind the full bow of the boat. The front of the hinging sections are curved to a point and graduated longitudinally to allow a bowlike profile at any given point as the sections are swung upward and away from the core of the boat. When the hinging sections are semi extended a full twin hulled operation can be achieved and when further extended a true triple hulled operation can be achieved with essentially three “bows” cutting the water. When fully extended the walls of the hinging sections come up to horizontal and also provide the benefit of extra deck space.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2001Publication date: March 21, 2002Inventor: Christopher Leslie Barrett
