Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Financial institutions face labor-intensive and repetitive tasks in analyzing numeric data, requiring extensive human effort to generate reports and commentary, which varies significantly across different use cases in terms of insight type, utility function, and data volume.
Innovation Solution
Implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to automatically generate commentary from quantitative data by processing tabular data sets, using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to map numeric data to relevant comments, and augmenting these comments with additional text, while allowing for user feedback and confidence level display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual analysis of numeric data is performed by business professionals, then insights can be derived and reports generated, but the process becomes labor-intensive and repetitive
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automated commentary generation where the AI model autonomously analyzes numeric data, selects relevant insights, and generates commentary without requiring manual intervention. The model learns from example commentary pairs and independently produces insights across various use cases including driver/offset analysis, anomaly detection, and risk factor monitoring
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual analysis process with an AI-based system that uses machine learning models to automatically generate commentary. The system substitutes human analysts' mechanical work with automated processes that can handle multiple use cases including financial report analysis, credit risk monitoring, and spending behavior analysis
2Productivity
If automated commentary generation is implemented using AI and machine learning, then human effort is reduced and efficiency improves, but the system must handle significant variability across different use cases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal AI model that can handle multiple different use cases including driver/offset analysis, anomaly detection, and risk factor monitoring. The model is designed to be multi-functional, adapting to various insight types, utility functions, and data volumes through a unified architecture that learns from example commentary pairs across different domains
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs dynamic configuration where the AI model can adapt its behavior based on the specific use case requirements. The model dynamically adjusts to different insight types, ranking criteria, and data characteristics by learning from provided examples, enabling flexible handling of varying analytical needs without requiring separate specialized systems
3Loss of information
If extensive manual effort is devoted to generating comprehensive commentary, then detailed insights are produced, but the process becomes repetitive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing and understanding the numeric data structure before generating commentary. The AI model analyzes the data relationships, identifies relevant patterns, and prepares insights in advance, enabling rapid generation of comprehensive commentary without requiring time-consuming manual analysis of each data set
Data Source
AI summary
A method for using artificial intelligence and machine learning to automatically generate commentary that relates to quantitative data is provided. The method includes: receiving a first tabular data set; identifying a first cell having numeric data from within the first tabular data set; associating a first column header and a first row header with the first cell; assigning a respective header type to each of the first column header and the first row header; mapping each of the first cell, the first column header, and the first row header to a first comment from among a set of comments; and augmenting the first comment by generating additional text that supplements the first comment.
