Intro to the customer

Fednot is the supporting organization for over 1.600 notaries and 8.000 employees, distributed over 1.140 notary offices, in terms of legal advice, office management, education, public information and IT-solutions.

Challenge

The goal of this project is to increase the efficiency in notary offices by digitizing the wealth of knowledge inside their archives. These archives contain both text-layered documents as well as numerous scans of paperwork.

As an extra challenge, making the archived information more widely available to notaries also means taking all legislation around personal information and data privacy into consideration.

Solution

Using advanced Natural Language Processing techniques, historic notarial acts were accurately digitized and personal information was efficiently pseudonymized.

Subsequently, ML6 built an AI solution that makes these documents searchable in an intelligent way. Through the use of search terms, keywords and filters, a user can obtain a list of documents and clauses that give him or her the most suitable examples and relevant information.
