Version 3.9
- Release date: October 29, 2024
- Compatible platform version: Work.AI 10.2.8+
New features
The configuration of AMM input sources has become more straightforward and flexible for your needs. You can source data from third-party providers (Google, Factiva, and so on) and an input CSV file in a single transaction. The new CSV sourcing option is available in the Search provider drop-down list as External Source.
To improve the quality of parsing and, hence, the automation rate, the Trafilatura content parser was introduced in addition to Postlight. Trafilatura helps Postlight to parse the search results from the Google, Thomson Reuters, and External Source providers.
Parsing now also covers PDF files, thus reducing the manual effort required to review them. Now, the model can also evaluate PDFs for relevancy before passing them futher down the flow, thus cutting the amount of processed data.
The decision reapplication feature now supports the display of duplicate articles in the results, allowing you greater visibility into AMM decisions. In addition, the decision reapplication configuration was extended with new options to fine-tune the feature's usage based on the matching decision and unique user counts.
To better trace how manual review tasks are handled, all user actions associated with them (submit, assign, cancel, reassign, save, open) are logged in an audit trail. The audit trails are stored in the
user_activities_audittable. The log for each action includes its description, involved user, and timestamp.Besides the name and age matching, the OpenAI-based Large Language Model (LLM) supports the out-of-the-box AMM model in crime extraction. You can manage the LLM usage via the newly introduced Screening approach interface option: set it to assist in matching the age and name only or add the crime extraction capability to the list.
To give you better control over the screened entity status, Webhook callbacks were implemented, notifying you about Manual Task creation and investigations completed. You can configure the Webhooks, including their encryption, in the AMM configuration interface. The AMM API was also extended with Webhook payloads and adjudication codes in responses.
To improve the automation rate by optimizing the result display, an option to exclude error articles was introduced for the Google API provider. You can enable it by selecting the Ignore error articles checkbox as you configure the Google API provider.
You can now select a preferred date format for the input data and final report, which allows you handle any date formats you might encounter in your data pool. All you need is to choose an option when configuring the Investigation settings.
To enhance the quality control in your AMM automations, we implemented the Auto Quality Control feature. If enabled, the feature randomly selects and sends a specified percentage of false positive articles for manual review.
To make the data handling within the core Business Process more efficient, the input data from a regular Thomson Reuters investigation is also used for ongoing monitoring with the same provider. The ongoing monitoring is triggered from the regular investigation via an asynchronous call, provided you enabled it during the configuration.
Authorization validation was added for the Factiva, Lexis-Nexis, and World-Check One providers to enable the traceability of associated Business Process failures. If a search run fails due to incorrect credentials, an error message is shown, stating clearly the reason behind the failure.
For a more detailed date-based individual entity search, you can now add the Date of birth field in the MM/dd/YYYY format instead of the Year of birth one to the Ad Hoc investigation screen.
To streamline running ad hoc investigation requests, a format template file is now available for downloads from the Ad Hoc investigation screen in Workspace.
The
cityvariable is back in the AMM input data to give your investigations another level of detail. Just as before, you can choose the field for ad-hoc investigation during configuration. However, thesubdivisionvalidation for the field was deprecated. On the configuration screen, the Residence country field is added automatically when the City one is present.To make the search results more credible, the x.com and Threads social networks were put on the ignore list for Google search.
Improvements
Other improvements focus on security, traceability, and usability:
Snyk vulnerabilities were resolved to prevent security issues.
The Assign to me checkbox is always enabled by default for Ad Hoc tasks so that no manual review task is missed or unattended by your employees.
The comment by the machine learning (ML) model from the manual review task and report is now stored in the
articletable. As a result, you can effortlessly trace the model's decisions.To help analysts to better understand the logic behind AMM decisions, the score label on the manual review page was renamed into adversity score. Next to the label, you can find a tooltip with detailed explanations.
In the input data, the
ongoing_monitor_nameinput field was replaced with theadd_to_ongoing_monitorBoolean field. The improvement supports the new logic launching the ongoing monitoring from a regular investigation.As you process the results from the Thomson Reuters provider, you can now download an article by a link if the number of words in the full text is less than the minimum value.
The structure of the email with the final AMM results is reformatted to improve its navigation and readability. The email template now includes a link to the batch report in the top area, while the bottom section is removed entirely.
