Abstract

A document management system processes application programming interface (API) requests received from entities. The document management system processes the API requests to perform operations such as modifying a document, executing a document, or sending a set of documents to another entity. The document management system enforces API limits on API requests received from entities and processed by the document management system. The document management system allows an entity to request a modification to an API limit to a target API limit and determines whether to approve the requested modification. The document management system determines whether to approve the requested API limits based on a comparison with other entities that are similar to the entity based on past API requests received from the other entities.

Abstract

A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.

Abstract

Through a workflow interface, a document management system enables a user to establish a document workflow. The document workflow establishes a set of document actions for the document management system to perform automatically in response to a request from the user. The user defines the document workflow by selecting from a set of workflow operations and specifying parameters for the selected workflow operation. The user additionally defines an approval workflow operation and a rejection workflow operation that designate document actions in the event that a document is approved or rejected, respectively. The document management system performs at least a portion of the document workflow in an order determined from the workflow interface.

Abstract

An electronic document system can allow users to upload a document package containing multiple individual component documents. Each component document includes a subset of a plurality of pages that are included in the document package. The electronic document system identifies a page of each component document by applying a machine learning model to the document package. The electronic document system partitions the document package into the individual component documents based on the identified pages. For each individual component document, the electronic document system identifies a document topic corresponding to the component document by applying another machine learning model. The electronic document system modifies a user interface to display each component document and corresponding document topic.

Abstract

Techniques are described for recognizing alternative representations of the same name. An example method includes transmitting, by a document management platform implemented by a computing system, a document package to a second computing device. The document package includes a document received from a first computing device and an indication of first name. The document management platform obtains an indication of a second name from an identity document provided by a user of the second computing device. The document management platform performs a name matching operation using a machine learning model to determine whether the first name and the second name are similar based on a similarity score generated by the machine learning model. Based on determining that the first name and the second name are similar, the document management platform grants the user of the second computing device access to the document.

Abstract

A document management system uses machine learning to generate electronic documents. Based on user input into a workflow for generating an electronic document, the document management system determines fields that require definition in the electronic document. The document management system predicts values for a first set of fields and inputs signals for a second set of fields into a supervised machine learning model, which is configured to output predicted values for the second set of fields. A user provides feedback on the predicted values of the second set of fields. The document management system incorporates the user's feedback into the generated electronic document, using confirmed values for each of the fields.

Abstract

A document management system trains a machine learned model configured to facilitate contract generation. The document management system generates a training set for the machine learned model using user input. From a first set of agreement documents, the document management system identifies a first set of sentences relevant to clause terms input by the user. The document management system identifies, from a second set of agreement documents, a second set of sentences similar to the first set of sentences. In response to user feedback about the second set of sentences, the document management system updates the training set. The document management system retrains the machine learned model using the updated training set.

Abstract

A system predicts metadata attributes associated with documents using machine learning models. The document may represent an interaction between entities. The system trains machine learning models to predict scores indicating whether a token or a sequence of token of a document represents a metadata attribute. The metadata prediction is used to annotate the document and display to users. The system receives user feedback via the user interface and uses the user feedback to evaluate or retrain the model. The system generates training data by receiving a set of annotated documents and comparing the annotated documents against other documents to identify matching documents. The system determines when to execute the machine learning based metadata prediction based on steps of document workflow executed by the system.

Abstract

Techniques for electronic signature process management are described. Some embodiments provide an electronic signature service (“ESS”) configured to associate third-party content with electronic signature documents by way of dynamic form fields. A dynamic form field is associated with a data store and an electronic signature document. The ESS may automatically populate the dynamic form field with data obtained from the associated data store. If a signer changes the data of the dynamic form field, the ESS may write back the changed data to the data store.

Abstract

A system receives a request associated with a first account to delegate, to a second account, authority to send documents on behalf of the first account. The request identifies requirements that must be satisfied before the second account can send documents on behalf of the first account. Responsive to receiving a request to send a first document to a first entity from the second account and on behalf of the second account, the system sends the first document to the first entity. Responsive to receiving a request to send a second document to a second entity from the second account and on behalf of the first account, the system determines whether the request to send the second document satisfies the requirements. Responsive to the request satisfying the requirements, the system sends the second document to the second entity on behalf of the first account.

Abstract

A centralized auditing system receives an audit block containing one or more audit files generated by an audit agent running in an audited device. The audit block additionally stores a first digital signature corresponding to a previous audit block, and a second digital signature generated based at least on the one or more audit files and the first digital signature. After receiving the audit block, the auditing system verifies the integrity of the received audit block based on the second digital signature stored in the audit block and/or the first digital signature corresponding to the previous audit block. In response to verifying the integrity of the received audit block, the auditing system adds the received audit block to an audit register. Moreover, the auditing system adds the one or more audit files included in the audit block to an audit database.

Abstract

A method or a system accesses an envelope stored in a first database. The envelope includes a set of secure electronic documents, a workflow of tasks, and one or more events associated with the tasks. The system also accesses a second database that stores a credential of an entity associated with the envelope. In response to authenticating the credential, the system receives and caches an access token in a third database. Further, the system monitors the events associated with the tasks in the workflow. In response to detecting an occurrence of at least one event, the system generates and sends a message with the cached access token to a webhook listener. After authentication of the entity using the access token, the webhook listener is caused to generate and send a notification to an administrator of the entity.

Abstract

A document execution engine receives a training set of data including training documents that each include one or more passages associated with a passage type and a level of risk. The document execution engine trains a machine learned model based on the training set. The trained machine learned model, when applied to subsequently identified passages within documents in the document execution environment, can identify a passage with above threshold levels of risk (e.g., a high-risk passage) based on a passage type of the passage. The trained machine learned model can then provide for display the high-risk passage and a related passage of the same passage type from a second document within the document execution environment to the user via a document passage comparison interface. Differences between the passages can be highlighted, enabling a user to quickly compare and contrast the passages.

Abstract

A document execution engine receives a training set of data including training documents that each include one or more passages associated with a passage type and a level of risk. The document execution engine trains a machine learned model based on the training set. The trained machine learned model, when applied to subsequently identified passages within documents in the document execution environment, can identify a passage with above threshold levels of risk (e.g., a high-risk passage) based on a passage type of the passage. The trained machine learned model can then provide for display the high-risk passage and a related passage of the same passage type from a second document within the document execution environment to the user via a document passage comparison interface. Differences between the passages can be highlighted, enabling a user to quickly compare and contrast the passages.

Abstract

A centralized document system integrates online document execution and conferencing. Creation of a conference event is detected. The conference event associated with an electronic signature envelope and a plurality of participants. A plurality of actions to be taken with respect to the electronic signature envelope during a conference corresponding to the conference event are determined. For each of one or more actions of the plurality of actions, a corresponding participant is determined based on metadata of the plurality of participants. An agenda comprising a sequence of the plurality of actions is generated. Each action of the sequence has its assigned corresponding participant. Control permissions during the conference corresponding to the conference event are dynamically driver based on the agenda.

Abstract

An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference associated with a plurality of participants is accessed. The sequence of actions is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a sharing participant of the conference is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant for the given action is determined and data obtained from sensors of a client device of the acting participant is monitored. It is determined that the data indicates that the acting participant has performed the given action and an auditable data structure reflective of the data is generated. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

Abstract

An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference including plural participants is accessed. The sequence is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a conference sharing participant is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant is determined for the given action and edit permissions conferring an ability to edit the monitored content are granted to the acting participant. Acting participant's input into the content shared by the sharing participant is monitored for data entry corresponding to the given action. Responsive to detecting the data entry during the monitoring, the edit permissions from the acting participant are removed. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

Abstract

A system, for example, a document management system stores documents and manages workflows associated with documents. The document management system allows discovery of templates based on explicit searches performed by users or automatic searches performed based on a context. The document management system allows generating new document templates based on selected versions of document component templates. The generated document template may be stored as a new version. The document management system instantiates documents based on templates by predicting values of variables used in the template based on various factors that describe the context in which the template is being used. The values used for instantiating variables may be generated using machine learning models that may be trained using historical data stored in the document management system.

Abstract

A system and a method are disclosed for providing recommendations for sets of security operations for improving security of documents created or executed within an online document system. A supplier entity may select sets of security operations to be performed for a request provided to a signing entity. The online document system computes an aggregate measure of security for the selected sets of security operations and compares it to a threshold measure of security. If the aggregate measure is less than the threshold measure, the online document system uses a machine-learned model to identify additional sets of security operations that when added, results in an updated aggregate measure of security greater than the threshold. The additional sets of security operations are presented to the supplier entity for inclusion within a security operation workflow in combination with the selected sets of security operations.

Abstract

Techniques for providing data security services with respect to cloud-based services are described. Examples include a security service provider (“SSP”) configured to perform or provide one or more security-related services or functions with respect to or on behalf of some other system or service. The other system or service may be, for example, a cloud-based system that provides network-accessible services. The SSP allows a user of the cloud-based service to provide and manage one or more security-related services, such as data storage, encryption, decryption, key management, and the like. By using and controlling the SSP, the user can be confident that his or her data is being securely represented and stored, even though it is being operated upon by a cloud-based service that is not under the user's control.

Abstract

An online document system can allow users to participate in collaborative negotiation of documents stored with in the online document system. To facilitate negotiations between multiple entities (each potentially including multiple users with different roles in the negotiation), the online document system includes a permissions system that allows per-clause control over user's access to propose and approve changes to a negotiated document. Similarly, the user interfaces for viewing a negotiated document provided by the online document system to users can depend on the role of that user in editing the document and the current stage of the negotiation of the document. Finally, the online document system can track agreement between sides in a negotiation on a per-clause basis and can otherwise help facilitate the negotiation of the document.

Abstract

An online document system provides a recommendation for one or more features within the online document system to an entity. The online document system accesses a set of feature training data to train a machine learning model. The set of feature training data may describe characteristics of entities associated with the online document system and historical activity associated with the entities' usage of the online document system's features. The machine learning model may be configured to identify a feature to recommend to an entity based on the entity's characteristics and history of using other features within the online document system. For example, data representing the entity's user accounts and use of an electronic signature feature is used by the machine learning model to identify a document authentication feature to recommend to the entity. The online document system may then provide the identified feature in a recommendation to the entity.

Abstract

A system and a method are disclosed for receiving a set of rules associated with a document type from a supplier entity. Each rule identifies a set of conditions and a set of actions to be taken after a document of a document type is signed if the set of conditions is satisfied. When a supplier entity sends a document of the document type to a signing entity and the signing entity provides an electronic signature, the system determines whether conditions of rules associated with the document type are satisfied. For each rule that is satisfied, the system performs actions identified by the rule.

Abstract

A document management system identifies policies specific to an entity's domain and applies relevant policies to documents managed by the entity. The document management system identifies a portion of the document with a triggering property associated with the entity's domain and tags that portion with an application programming interface (API) plug-in. After the document is transmitted to a recipient, the document management system activates the API plug-in. The API plug-in runs a function on the document, applying a subset of the entity's policies to the document.

Abstract

A document management system uses an objective loss function to improve the performance of optical character recognition (OCR) processes on images of documents. A user captures an image of a document, which is imported into the document management system. The document management system performs OCR on a high resolution version of the image of the document, obtaining a first set of text representative of the text of the document. The document management system applies a machine-learned model on a low-resolution version of the image of the document, producing a denoised image that is of a higher resolution than that input into the machine-learned model. The document management system performs OCR on the denoised image, obtaining a second set of text representative of the text of the document. The document management system compares the first and second sets of text in the form of an objective loss function. The document management system subsequently generates a feature vector from the comparison of the sets of text and retrains the machine-learned model with the generated feature vector.

Abstract

A system, for example, a document management system implements an asynchronous work queue for processing work items. Examples of work items include sending an email with a link to a document, execution of a document by receiving a user signature, collaborative editing of a document, configuring a form based on a document for presenting to a user, and so on. The system stores metadata describing work items in an asynchronous work queue. The asynchronous work queue repeatedly receives work items and stores metadata describing the work items. The system creates a work item container including a set of work items stored in the asynchronous work queue that were received during a particular time interval. The system provides the work item container, for example, to a subscriber for execution of work items in the work item container. The system repeats the process for each subsequent time interval.

Abstract

An online document system enables simultaneous collaboration on a shared document. Users associated with two or more collaborating entities can see edits and comments made to the shared document from all participants in real time. A first entity chooses to make all edits public to everyone or temporarily locks a clause so that the real time edits to the clause are only visible to users associated with the first entity. This allows all users associated with the first entity to continue to collaborate among themselves on edits to the locked document until it is in a state where they are ready for the rest of the users associated with other entities to view the changes. At the same time, the other users can continue to review, edit, and collaborate on the other clauses in the document. When the permissions are updated, all entities can again view the clauses for negotiation.

Abstract

A document management system generates and validates online documents. The document management system enables the customization of an online document through various rendering parameters for customizing the appearance of agreement content rendered to a receiving entity. The document management system may validate the rendering parameters of customized online documents to determine a likelihood that the documents are valid. For example, the system may determine a likelihood that an online document generated with prechecked checkbox is invalid. The document management system may recommend custom templates for online documents or modifications to an online document that may increase a likelihood of achieving an originating entity's objective. For example, the document management system can apply a machine-learned model to recommend a target rendering parameter for inclusion that would increase the likelihood of a receiving entity clicking an “Agree” button.

Abstract

A document management system generates and validates online documents. The document management system enables the customization of an online document through various rendering parameters for customizing the appearance of agreement content rendered to a receiving entity. The document management system may validate the rendering parameters of customized online documents to determine a likelihood that the documents are valid. For example, the system may determine a likelihood that an online document generated with prechecked checkbox is invalid. The document management system may recommend custom templates for online documents or modifications to an online document that may increase a likelihood of achieving an originating entity's objective. For example, the document management system can apply a machine-learned model to recommend a target rendering parameter for inclusion that would increase the likelihood of a receiving entity clicking an "Agree" button.

Abstract

A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.

Abstract

An agenda dictating a sequence of actions to occur during a conference associated with a plurality of participants is accessed. The sequence of actions is associated with an electronic signature envelope. Content shared by a sharing participant of the conference is monitored for content corresponding to a given action of the sequence. Responsive to detecting the content corresponding to the given action, an acting participant for the given action is determined and data obtained from sensors of a client device of the acting participant is monitored. It is determined that the data indicates that the acting participant has performed the given action and an auditable data structure reflective of the data is generated. The content shared by the sharing participant of the conference is automatically modified to include content corresponding to a next action of the sequence of actions.

Abstract

An online document system can allow users to track various amendments made over time and corresponding to an original document. The online document system accesses the original document comprising a plurality of content sections and a set of amendment documents each comprising one or more amendments to the original document. The online document system applies a machine-learned model to the original document and the set of amendment documents to identify, for each amendment, a content section of the plurality that corresponds to the amendment and a type of amendment corresponding to the amendment. The online document system generates an amended original document comprising the plurality of content sections modified to include each amendment. The online document system displays the amended original document by displaying each of the plurality of content sections and, in conjunction with each content section, any amendments corresponding to the content section are highlighted.

Abstract

Techniques for obtaining electronic signatures via word processing applications are described. One approach utilizes a code module, also referred to as a “markup module,” that executes within a word processing application and that facilitates the preparation of a document for electronic signature. A user can operate the word processing application together with the markup module in order to add signature tag markers to the document and to provide recipient information about intended signers, such as names and email addresses. Once the document has been prepared, the code module transmits the document (including the added signature tag markers) and the recipient information to a digital transaction service. The digital transaction service then manages the signing of the document, such as by notifying the recipient, receiving the recipient's signature and securely storing the signature in association with the document.

Abstract

A system, for example, a document management system stores documents and manages workflows associated with documents. The document management system allows discovery of templates based on explicit searches performed by users or automatic searches performed based on a context. The document management system allows generating new document templates based on selected versions of document component templates. The generated document template may be stored as a new version. The document management system instantiates documents based on templates by predicting values of variables used in the template based on various factors that describe the context in which the template is being used. The values used for instantiating variables may be generated using machine learning models that may be trained using historical data stored in the document management system.

Abstract

A system receives a request associated with a first account to delegate, to a second account, authority to send documents on behalf of the first account. The request identifies requirements that must be satisfied before the second account can send documents on behalf of the first account. Responsive to receiving a request to send a first document to a first entity from the second account and on behalf of the second account, the system sends the first document to the first entity. Responsive to receiving a request to send a second document to a second entity from the second account and on behalf of the first account, the system determines whether the request to send the second document satisfies the requirements. Responsive to the request satisfying the requirements, the system sends the second document to the second entity on behalf of the first account.

Abstract

A document management system integrates with a video conference system to generate agreement documents from conference transcripts between two or more people. The document management system trains and applies a machine learned model that is configured to identify agreement terms from a video conference transcript. The two or more people confirm or propose changes to the agreement terms presented by the document management system. The document management system presents a finalized agreement document, with users' identities, electronic signatures, and confirmed agreement terms.

Abstract

A centralized document system integrates online document execution and conferencing to control access to precipitant information. Precipitant information includes access codes, personal identification numbers, sensitive information, or any other secured information for which execution of an online document is a prerequisite for access to the secured information. The centralized document system detects precipitant information that is presented during a conference and controls access to the detected precipitant information (e.g., by generating permission rules that specify a type of online document to be executed to gain access). The centralized document system may determine whether a user has executed one or more online documents and thus, has authorization to access the detected precipitant information. If the user has not executed the online documents, the centralized document system can control access to the precipitant information by modifying the conference (e.g., using censors or breakout rooms).

Abstract

A document analysis system uses trained machine learning models to assess risks to a potential signer of a document. The document analysis system receives a document for analysis along with information about the document type and identification of jurisdictions whose regulations apply to the document. A content analysis model associated with the document type compares the document to known documents of the same document type and generates a risk value associated with signing the document that is based on differences between the document and the known documents of the same document type. A jurisdictional analysis model classifies document clauses according to whether they meet certain requirements of documents according to the regulations of the jurisdiction. The model outputs are used to generate a document summary that a user can interact with to review the document in an informed manner.

Abstract

A document management system integrates with a video conference system to ensure that proper electronic witness procedure is performed for document validation. The document management system accesses a video conference between a user and an electronic witness, and then instructs the user to electronically sign the document while the electronic witness observes. The document management system receives confirmation that the electronic witness observed the video of the user electronically signing the document. The document management system combines and stores portions of the video conference that correspond to the electronic witness's validation of the document.
