ACTFORE earns industry-first patent for precision data extraction

ACTFORE, renowned for its advanced AI-driven breach response and data mining solutions, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone. The company has been awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its innovation in extracting data from unstructured document sets. This patent marks a significant advance in the data mining realm, where such recognitions have been rare due to dependence on manual processes and common automation tools.

The innovation from ACTFORE is designed for efficiency and accuracy, enabling precise extraction of sensitive data from chaotic and unstructured information environments. "This patent isn't just a milestone for ACTFORE, but for the entire industry," mentioned CEO Christian Geyer. "In a space where most work is still done manually or through tedious and inaccurate workflows, we’ve introduced a scalable, intelligent solution that truly learns and adapts and can work alongside our team of onshore experts..." By merging manual precision with deep learning, the company offers a hybrid workflow that addresses scalability and accuracy challenges.

The patented technology, described as "Techniques for Targeted Data Extraction from Unstructured Sets of Documents," introduces a dynamic interface that utilises "visual boxes" for data identification. These boxes automatically spread to similar documents using advanced clustering and deep learning techniques. When combined with optical character recognition (OCR), the system ensures high-quality text extraction, even from older document formats.

Yumna Zaidi, Innovations Team Lead at ACTFORE and Lead Inventor, claims, "We've essentially built a facial recognition system, but for document layouts." The technology distinguishes document structure through unique embedding vectors, boosting processing speed and accuracy.

This potent blend of automation and human expertise guarantees the swift, dependable extraction of private information, such as personal and financial data.

Senior Data Scientist Dhiraj Sharma emphasises that ACTFORE's technology caters to the complexities of varied breach environments, ensuring efficiency and precision, setting a new benchmark for industry standards.

With capabilities to handle diverse types of documents and preserve processing coordinates for mass use, the patented system accelerates document review processes. Sanskriti Shivhare, Team Lead and Co-Inventor, highlights that their focus extends beyond speed. The design empowers human decision-making, enhancing both productivity and decision quality.

This patent significantly bolsters ACTFORE's intellectual property standing, indicating a strong commitment to transforming breach responses using applied AI. As data breaches become widespread and regulatory pressures mount, ACTFORE’s innovation paves the way for intelligent and scalable data management solutions.
