  • Publication number: 20240012993
    Abstract: Systems and methods may utilize a predictive analysis model to analyze a contract or other document. A system may parse a document and/or a repository of information associated with the document. The system may identify one or more terms in the document and corresponding terms in the repository. The system may determine a difference parameter between a first term extracted from the document and a second term extracted from the repository. The system may determine whether the difference between the first term and the second term, represented by the difference parameter, is likely to be acceptable to the user using a predictive analysis model. The system may report a validation parameter indicating a level of acceptability associated with the difference. User feedback on the accuracy of the predictive analysis model is used to train, modify, and improve the predictive analysis model.

  • Publication number: 20220292268
    Abstract: A system for generating smart contracts may include a first subsystem to receive a written or verbal contract, and a second subsystem to identify terms of the contract using natural language processing (NLP). The system may additionally include a third subsystem to correlate processed NLP terms of the contract with chaincode in a library, and a fourth subsystem to combine correlated NLP terms to generate a smart contract. Methods of generating a smart contract may include inputting natural language contract terms into a smart contract generation system and identifying the natural language contract terms with a natural language processing system. The method may further include correlating at least some of the contract terms to chaincodes stored in a library, generating chaincodes for any contract terms that do not correlate to any chaincodes stored in the library, and assembling the chaincodes into a smart contract.

  • Publication number: 20220083561
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for creating a data object for each of a plurality of imported unstructured data files. Each data object may expressly include one of the unstructured data files. Preprocessing subsystems and/or machine learning algorithms and subsystems process the data to generate or otherwise identify structured insight features. The system updates each data object to expressly include the structured insight features.

  • Publication number: 20210406772
    Abstract: A user may markup the training documents to identify salient terms in a set of training unstructured documents. The system may automatically generate an extraction ruleset for each salient term that can be manually modified or edited by the user. The user may also provide analysis rulesets for each of the salient terms using, for example, a no-code graphical user interface. A machine learning model can be trained to automatically extract and analyze the salient terms based on feature vectors built from the extraction rulesets and/or analysis rulesets of the salient terms. After training, the system may import a set of unstructured documents for term extraction and analysis by the trained machine learning model. The system may generate a report, such as a PDF or an interactive graphical user interface, summarizing the results of the extracted and analyzed salient terms.
