A Framework for Institutional Risk Identification using Knowledge Graphs and Automated News Profiling
This addresses the need for automated risk management in organizations, but it is incremental as it builds on existing knowledge graph and NLP techniques.
The paper tackles the problem of manual risk identification for organizations by developing an automated system that monitors global news, identifies and characterizes risks, determines proximity to triggers, and assesses operational impacts, using a knowledge graph representation and neural embedding model for multi-lingual news matching.
Organizations around the world face an array of risks impacting their operations globally. It is imperative to have a robust risk identification process to detect and evaluate the impact of potential risks before they materialize. Given the nature of the task and the current requirements of deep subject matter expertise, most organizations utilize a heavily manual process. In our work, we develop an automated system that (a) continuously monitors global news, (b) is able to autonomously identify and characterize risks, (c) is able to determine the proximity of reaching triggers to determine the distance from the manifestation of the risk impact and (d) identifies organization's operational areas that may be most impacted by the risk. Other contributions also include: (a) a knowledge graph representation of risks and (b) relevant news matching to risks identified by the organization utilizing a neural embedding model to match the textual description of a given risk with multi-lingual news.
