Machine Learning for Process Mapping of Multi-Investment Platforms - Dr Kyle Martin

Multi-investment platforms allow financial experts to recommend multiple avenues for investment to customers. These platforms are multi-featured and tightly bound by strict regulation and legislation. Process mapping is a regulatory process to create a sequential map of every rule and dependency tied to each process in an investment platform. This requires substantial input from domain experts. We believe machine learning can streamline this endeavour, and highlight there is potential in Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and Case Based Planning (CBP). In this project, you will investigate KGs to represent process maps, allowing development of a CBP system for specific tasks such as process map validation and generation.
