Automated Generation of Reference Links from Media and Parliamentary Documents to Legislative and Regulatory Artefacts

In the modern era, online news and media platforms have grown significantly. It is hard for organizations to keep track of discussions or mentions on regulatory or legislative documents online. With the rapidly growing amount of information available online, it is important to have the ability to monitor and track news and media online in efficient and automated ways.
Gnowit provides a platform to track Canadian media and political discourse to companies that are impacted by changes in Government policies, laws and regulations. The government of Canada publishes documents including news, discussions, updates on regulations and legislations. The goal of this research is to design and implement and evaluate a set of natural language processing methods and tools that can identify and track any mentions or discussions of regulatory or legislative documents in news and media online.
