NLP: Reading Regulatory Language
Regulatory documents are notoriously complex. Natural Language Processing technology parses this language to extract obligations, deadlines, and requirements.
According to research published in Artificial Intelligence and Law, modern NLP achieves 90%+ accuracy in extracting regulatory obligations from text.
NLP capabilities include:
- Entity extraction: Identifying regulated entities and activities
- Obligation identification: Finding "must," "shall," and requirement language
- Timeline extraction: Capturing deadlines and effective dates
- Cross-reference resolution: Linking related provisions
"The AI reads a 200-page regulation in seconds and maps every obligation to our controls. What used to take weeks now takes hours."
— VP of Compliance, Insurance Company
Knowledge Graphs: Connecting the Dots
Knowledge graphs connect regulations, policies, controls, and evidence. When a regulation changes, the graph shows which policies, procedures, and controls are affected.
