Patent number: 12141246Abstract: A facility for retrieving content. The facility invokes an API, as part of the invocation passing to the API: (1) information identifying one or more units of content to return; and (2) an indication that an entity on behalf of which the invocation is performed attests that the entity is compliant with a license that applies to the identified units of content. The facility receives a response to the API invocation that contains the identified units of content.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2024Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Unified Compliance Framework (Network Frontiers)Inventors: Dorian J. Cougias, Dave Dare, Lucian Hontau, Sean Kohler, Steven Piliero, Michael Wedderburn

Patent number: 11941361Abstract: A facility for identifying multi-word expressions in a natural language sentence is described. The facility provides the sentence to each of multiple natural language processing modules including a first module, a second module, and a third module. Each natural language processing module uses a different approach to identify a multi-word expression and a type of the multi-word expression. Upon determining that the multiple identifiers of the multi-word expression differ, the facility determines the multi-word expression using a resolution process, which can involve a logical rule set or a machine learning model.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Unified Compliance Framework (Network Frontiers)Inventors: Dorian J. Cougias, Steven Piliero, Dave Dare, Lucian Hontau, Sean Kohler, Michael Wedderburn

Publication number: 20230214596Abstract: A facility for representing a mandate occurring in an authority document with a control is described. For each of one or more controls in a set of existing controls, the facility determines a similarity score measuring the similarity of the mandate and the control; where the similarity score exceeds a similarity threshold, the facility links the mandate to the control. Where the mandate is not linked to any control in the set of controls, the facility adds a control to the set of controls that is based on the mandate, and links the mandate to the added control.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Dorian J. Cougias, Vicki McEwen, Steven Piliero, Lucian Hontau, Zike Huang, Sean Kohler
