AUTOMATED DATA CLASSIFICATION AND EXTRACTION

pTools solutions leverage Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the context of targeted data extraction to automate the processing of data categorisation.

AUTOMATE ASSESSMENT OF DOCUMENT AND IDENTITY RISK

The solution indexes and analyses language, sentiment, key phrases, entity data, analysis across different fields and formats for approval and validation of related entity and authentication.

ENABLING NEWER STAFF TO HANDLE COMPLEX ANNOUNCEMENTS

Solutions capture organisational knowledge of experienced staff that have worked in announcements for many years and allows
newer staff members to process announcements more effectively.

ESCALATION OF DATA QUERIES TO MORE EXPERIENCED STAFF

By enabling newer staff to handle complex announcement where issues occur and detailed document analysis is required the solution automatically escalates such issues to senior staff.

RISK MITIGATION AND ERROR REDUCTION

Continued “Learning” and rule setting in NLP helps the system adapt to new validation scenarios and information formats. This automated processing reduces the potential for manual processing errors and increases accuracy and consistency of publishing in standard output.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND NLP DEFINITIONS

NLP offers a wide range of automated data definitions; Indexing, Sentiment Analysis, Pattern Matching, Named Entity Recognition, Boundary Detection, Terminology Extraction, Data Grouping.

AUTOMATIC ANNOUNCEMENT DEFINITION
