AI summary

Systems, methods, and computer readable media for intelligent generation of a privilege log are provided. These techniques may include accessing a corpus of documents and applying an unsupervised machine learning model thereto to identify a plurality of topics. Using the identified topics, the techniques include associating a plurality of categories with the identified topics and executing a classifier training model to train classifiers corresponding to the categories. These classifiers are then applied to the corpus of documents to label the documents. Subsequently, the techniques automatically generate a privilege log based upon the labels applied to the documents by the classifiers.
