Unstructured document data extraction technology patented by ACTFORE, marking a groundbreaking advancement in data breach response procedures.
ACTFORE Unveils Revolutionary Patent for Intelligent Data Extraction System
ACTFORE, a leading provider of advanced AI/ML-powered data mining solutions, has made a groundbreaking announcement. The company has been granted a patent for its innovative technology designed to efficiently and accurately extract sensitive data from massive, unstructured information environments following a breach.
CEO Christian Geyer hailed the patent as a milestone, introducing a scalable, intelligent solution that truly learns and adapts. This system, he explained, can work alongside ACTFORE's team of onshore experts to create an approach that merges manual precision with deep learning, resulting in a hybrid workflow that is both fast and legally defensible.
The ACTFORE platform supports a wide range of document types, including unstructured and semi-structured PDFs, images, and text files. The novelty of ACTFORE's patent lies in its intelligent, scalable, and legally defensible system for targeted data extraction from massive, unstructured document sets, specifically designed for breach response workflows.
Key innovative aspects include a dynamic interface that allows operators to define customized extraction parameters tailored to a given case or data set. The technology also employs a "facial recognition system" analogy for document layouts, where it creates unique embedding vectors (fingerprints) for document structures. This enables rapid matching and processing of documents with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
The hybrid workflow combining AI-driven automation with human expert precision ensures that sensitive information such as names, account numbers, or health data can be extracted quickly, accurately, and consistently, even across large and messy data sets. The system also pairs advanced optical character recognition (OCR) with the dynamic interface to extract high-fidelity text, even from scanned or non-machine-readable documents.
The patent, "Techniques for Targeted Data Extraction from Unstructured Sets of Documents", refers to ACTFORE's dynamic interface that allows operators to define "visual boxes" around regions of interest on a document page. This feature not only accelerates review but also ensures consistent, defensible results across complex, multi-jurisdictional engagements.
ACTFORE's patented technology sets a new industry benchmark for intelligent, scalable remediation. The system allows for targeted, scalable parsing with minimal redundancy and dramatically reduced review time. The newly issued patent strengthens ACTFORE's growing intellectual property portfolio.
Sanskriti Shivhare, Team Lead and Co-Inventor, stated that the system is designed to empower humans to make better decisions, faster. ACTFORE's achievement represents a major advancement in automated breach response workflows. The platform automatically preserves selected coordinates for batch processing at scale.
ACTFORE is trusted by over 25 insurance carriers and 35 law firms, including premier Am Law 100 firms. The patent is not just a milestone for ACTFORE, but for the entire data mining and breach response industries.
