AUTOMATED FIELD-MAPPING OF ACCOUNT NAMES FOR FORM POPULATION

Abstract:

A system for account mapping includes functionality for obtaining more than one labeled accounts labeled by more than one accountant; pre-processing more than one labeled accounts using natural language processing, using the more than one pre-processed labeled accounts to train an account mapping model that performs multinomial classification; receiving an account name from an accounting application where the account name includes a text label for an account included in a chart of accounts; generating an account mapping by applying the account mapping model to the account name, where the account mapping includes a type of the account, a sub-type of the account, a code, and a series associated with an accounting form; returning the account mapping to the accounting application through an Application Programming Interface (API); and receiving a corrected account mapping from an accountant and using the corrected account mapping as a new text label to incrementally update the account mapping model.
