What is entity resolution and why is it important?

When carrying out Know Your Customer (KYC) screening, a challenge many organisations face is determining whether data refers to the same entity or multiple, different entities. Entity Resolution (ER) is a technique that allows you to know if real-world entities are linked—or not. Once the entities have been determined as equivalent, a common identifier is added, linking the different records. This enables you to create unique customer profiles and avoid duplication.

We are honoured to be finalists in the Computing AI & Machine Learning Awards again this year in the categories of ‘The Most Innovative Use of AI’ and ‘Explainable AI Award.’ These prestigious awards ‘recognise the best companies, individuals and projects in the AI space today.’

What is Multilingual NLP? Multilingual NLP (Natural Language Processing) is a technology that incorporates linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence to process and analyse large amounts of natural human language in various contexts.

Last year, we saw a key shift in focus to digital financial markets, with the EU’s 6th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (6AMLD) now incorporating virtual asset service providers (VASPs).

It is now one month to go before the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) publishes regulations regarding mandatory beneficial ownership reporting requirements as required by the Corporate Transparency Act.
