  • Publication number: 20160104077
    Abstract: Systems and methods for extracting table data from text documents using machine learning are provided. The systems and methods comprise electronically receiving at a computer system a document having one or more tables, each table having one or more whitespace features, processing the document using a first computer model executed by the computer system to classify each row of the one or more tables as a header row or a data row, processing the document using a second computer model executed by the computer system to classify each whitespace feature in each row conditional on classification of each row by the first computer model, the second computer model identifying whether a whitespace feature corresponds to information missing from the one or more tables, and generating an output of the classified whitespace features and storing the output in a digital file.

  • Publication number: 20160103823
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for machine learning extraction of free-form textual rules and provisions from legal documents. The method comprising electronically receiving, by the legal rules extraction engine, a document, processing the document using a first trained model executed by the legal rules extraction engine to classify the document into a document class, processing the document using a second trained model executed by the legal rules extraction engine to extract rules within the document conditional on the document class identified by the first trained model, extracting a plurality of data variables from the document by processing the classified features in the document using a third trained model executed by the legal rules extraction engine, generating by the legal rules extraction engine an output vector based on the plurality of data variables, and displaying the output vector by the legal rules extraction engine at the user interface.

  • Patent number: 8924268
    Abstract: A legal process management system facilitates simultaneous dynamic dialogs between legal process managers and networked attorneys and contractors providing services in connection with security interest enforcement actions. The legal process managers submit queries and deadlines selected to timely guide the attorneys and contractors through the requirements of the security interest enforcement actions. The attorneys and contractors submit responsive answers revealing the status of their enforcement actions. The legal process management system allows the monitored attorneys to share in the information provided by the monitored contractors. The legal process management system further includes mechanisms for reminding the attorneys and contractors about impending deadlines. The system also allows the attorneys and contractors to be assessed on their success in complying with the queries and deadlines submitted by the legal process managers.

  • Publication number: 20120310688
    Abstract: A legal process management system facilitates simultaneous dynamic dialogs between legal process managers and networked attorneys and contractors providing services in connection with security interest enforcement actions (SIEAs). The legal process managers submit queries and deadlines selected to timely guide the attorneys and contractors through the requirements of the SIEAs. The attorneys and contractors submit responsive answers revealing the status of their SIEAs. In some embodiments, an events based management system uses a stochastic model to calculate completion times for the milestones of the SIEA, including the “events” that make up subparts of the milestones. This provides a flexible and powerful system for managing prosecution of the SIEA and for predicting likely durations. The stochastic model incorporates the concept of both fixed-frequency events and random-frequency events, and also allows for both controlled events and managed events.

  • Patent number: 7952783
    Abstract: A scanning beam projection system includes a scanning mirror having a fast-scan axis and a slow-scan axis. Movement on the slow-scan axis is controlled by a slow-scan scanning mirror control system. The control system receives position information describing angular displacement of the mirror. An outer loop of the control system operates in the frequency domain and determines harmonic drive coefficients for a scanning mirror drive signal. An inner loop of the control system operates in the time domain and compensates for a scanning mirror resonant vibration mode at a frequency within the frequency band occupied by the harmonic drive coefficients.

  • Patent number: 6504379
    Abstract: A link cable assembly is provided as an interface between a network cable test instrument and a network to be tested. The link cable assembly includes a link cable that is constructed to minimize cross talk and have long-term high quality reliability. Interchangeable connector personality modules releasably attached to the link cable permit testing networks having different electrical characteristics. Calibration data may be stored within the cable assembly to allow intrinsic “patch cord” return loss to be factored out of network cable measurements.
