Automated document classification and metadata population system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928425B2) outlines a method for classifying documents using a computer system. The method involves storing an association between a content object template and template metadata by processing content objects to identify features, analyzing these features to determine clusters, and forming content object clusters based on these clusters. When a specific content object is received, the system populates metadata into it by selecting the appropriate template and identifying template metadata. Policy enforcement is then implemented based on the metadata and values in the template metadata, applying policies and restrictions to the specific content object.
Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as deriving vectors from features to determine feature clusters, forming content object clusters based on feature configurations, and adding subject content objects for collaboration. The method also involves determining the content object template based on attributes of features, content object clusters, and metrics. Additionally, unsupervised learning is utilized to identify document features that correspond to specific content object templates. The patent also covers the implementation of the method through non-transitory computer-readable mediums and systems with processors executing the sequence of instructions to classify documents effectively.
