Updated:
Financial institutions process millions of transactions daily while navigating an intricate web of regulatory requirements. Manual compliance monitoring struggles to keep pace—a major bank typically handles over 150,000 alerts per day, with false positive rates exceeding 95% and investigation times averaging 30-40 minutes per alert. This creates significant operational overhead while still leaving gaps in coverage.
The fundamental challenge lies in detecting genuine compliance violations amid massive volumes of legitimate transactions while maintaining auditability and keeping false positives at manageable levels.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including knowledge graph-based regulatory mapping, self-supervised risk assessment from unstructured data, automated control framework alignment, and dynamic compliance pathfinding. These and other approaches focus on reducing false positives and investigation time while maintaining clear audit trails for regulatory review.

7. AI-Driven Identification of Sub-Funds Within Umbrella Funds Using Entity Record Analysis and Relationship Mapping
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 2024
Automatically identifying sub-funds within umbrella funds that are effectively traded as individual investment funds, to streamline KYC procedures for compliance. The method involves using AI to analyze entity records and extract umbrella names. For entities with high confidence of association, relationships are created between the umbrella and sub-fund LEIs. This allows KYC to be done on the umbrella as a whole instead of each sub-fund. For low confidence entities, further analysis using prospectus information is done to confirm no sub-fund association.
8. Knowledge Graphs with Recursive Multi-Dimensional Function-Based Relationship Representation
Morgan Stanley Services Group Inc., 2024
Knowledge graphs that accurately represent complex relationships between entities, such as regulatory compliance functions, credit worthiness, and legal status, by using recursive, multi-dimensional functions instead of fixed Boolean connections. The knowledge graphs are generated by associating requirements with relationships that define iterative functions to determine the relationship state based on conditions, parameters, and factors. These functions can be complex, conditional, temporal, probabilistic, etc. The graphs are stored in memory and queries are automatically resolved by calculating the recursive functions.
9. Self-Supervised Natural Language Processing for Financial Risk Assessment from Unstructured Data
CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLC, 2024
Determining financial risk based on self-supervised natural language extraction from unstructured data sets like long form financial narratives. The method involves converting unstructured financial narratives into condensed financial risk narratives using self-supervised natural language processing. A tokenization library is determined for the unstructured data and used to generate the condensed narratives. Security scores indicative of financial risk are calculated for the condensed narratives. If a score exceeds a threshold, security actions are executed. This allows autonomous risk assessment from unstructured financial data without manual summarization.
10. Automated Compliance Report Adjustment System with AI-Driven Error Detection and Suggestion Mechanism
SAP SE, 2023
System to automatically suggest and facilitate adjustment of incorrect values in compliance reports to prevent errors and violations.
