Patent number: 11915701Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems and methods may improve automatic summarization of transcripts of financial earnings calls. For example, a system may generate segments, such as by disambiguating sentences, from a transcript to be summarized. The system may use an estimator that assesses whether or not the segment should be included in the summary. Different types of estimators may be used. For example, the estimator may be rule-based, trained based on machine-learning techniques, or trained on based on machine-learning with language modeling using natural language processing to fine-tune language models specific to financial earnings calls.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: REFINITIV US ORGANIZATION LLCInventors: Jochen Lothar Leidner, Georgios Gkotsis, Tim Nugent

Patent number: 11907672Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems and methods may improve classification of content based on a machine-learning natural language processing (ML-NLP) classifier. The system may train a general language model based on a general corpus, further train the general language model based on a domain-specific corpus to generate a domain-specific language model, and conduct supervised machine-learning based on the domain-specific language using topic-specific corpus labeled as relating to topics of interest to generate the ML-NLP classifier. Accordingly, the ML-NLP classifier may be trained on a general corpus, further trained on a domain-specific corpus, and fine-tuned on a topic-specific corpus. In this manner, domain-specific content may be classified into topics of interest. The ML-NLP classifier may classify content into the topics of interest.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: REFINITIV US ORGANIZATION LLCInventors: Tim Nugent, Matt Harding, Jochen Lothar Leidner

Publication number: 20230177626Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for analyzing and extracting data related to a structured proceeding, and for identifying, based on the analysis, at least one outcome associated with the structured proceeding. Embodiments provide for receiving data associated with a structured proceeding involving at least one party, the data including at least one docket entry, and analyzing, by an outcome location detector, the data to identify one or more docket entries in the at least one docket entry that are likely to include evidence of an outcome. Embodiments further include analyzing, by an outcome detector, the one or more docket entries determined to be likely to include evidence of an outcome to determine outcomes. The outcomes include at least one of a final outcome and at least one party outcome. The final outcome is associated with the structured proceeding overall, and the at least one party outcome is associated with a party of the at least one party that may have been terminated early.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Thomas Vacek, Dezhao Song, Tim Nugent, Conner Cowling
