Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for identifying key features in risk control documents rely on rule-based methods, which are tedious, impractical, and fail to generalize well to new language, leading to inefficiencies and inaccuracies in risk control feature identification.

Innovation Solution

A hybrid machine learning and natural language processing system that analyzes risk mitigation text to automatically identify risk control features and entities, using generative ML models to transform and classify text, and discriminative predictors to correct and segment features based on syntactic characteristics.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal ML-based system that handles multiple languages, document types, and risk control scenarios through a single transformer architecture. The model is trained on diverse datasets and can generalize to new languages and contexts without requiring separate rule sets, achieving multi-functionality while maintaining manageable system structure through standardized processing pipelines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary training of ML models on large corpora of risk control documents before deployment. This pre-training phase allows the system to learn linguistic patterns, domain terminology, and feature relationships in advance, enabling rapid adaptation to new languages and document types without extensive reconfiguration or rule rewriting.

AI summary

Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that performs steps to automatically identify risk control features and entities in a risk control document. The computing system uses a generative machine learning (ML) model to transform a risk control document into sequences of words, classify risk control features associated with the sequences of words, and pair the sequences of words with the classified risk control features. The computing system then uses a natural language processing (NLP) model to identify syntactic characteristics of the sequences of words. Subsequently, the computing system uses a discriminative predictor system to correct the classified risk control features based on the identified syntactic characteristics, identify boundaries of the corrected classified risk control features, and pair the identified boundaries with the corrected classified risk control features.
