A computer system has been granted a patent for a tool that automatically generates predictions related to interdependence detection between various data objects based on unstructured text inputs. The system includes a data receiver, a computer processor equipped with natural language processing and machine learning engines, and memory. The processor processes text strings to extract entity names and estimated economic relationships, aggregates these relationships to identify potential interdependence, and generates an output data structure with linkages between entities. The machine learning engine converts text into vector representations, pre-processes them, and optimizes hyperparameters for term frequency-inverse document frequency representations.

Furthermore, the system utilizes a Stanford Named Entity Recognizer for natural language processing, decision trees for machine learning, and a white-box estimator trained against a black-box estimator. It appends metadata to vector representations, cross-references output data against client names using a cosine similarity algorithm, and filters out pairs below a threshold value. The method involves receiving text strings, extracting entity names and economic relationships, aggregating them, and generating an output data structure. The system optimizes hyperparameters, utilizes decision trees, and includes a white-box estimator trained with perturbed samples. It also appends metadata to vector representations and cross-references data against client names using cosine similarity. The non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions for executing the method, which involves processing text, extracting entity names and economic relationships, aggregating them, and generating an output data structure with linkages between entities. The system optimizes hyperparameters, pre-processes vector representations, and utilizes term frequency-inverse document frequency representations.
