Show HN: Kanon 2 Enricher – the first hierarchical graphitization model

https://isaacus.com/blog/kanon-2-enricher
7•ubutler•2d ago
Hey HN, This is Kanon 2 Enricher, the first hierarchical graphitization model. It represents an entirely new class of AI models designed to transform document corpora into rich, highly structured knowledge graphs.

In brief, our model is capable of: - Entity extraction, classification, and linking: identifying key entities like individuals, companies, governments, locations, dates, documents, and more, and classifying and linking them together. - Hierarchical segmentation: breaking a document up into its full hierarchy, including divisions, sections, subsections, paragraphs, and so on. - Text annotation: extracting common textual elements such as headings, sigantures, tables of contents, cross-references, and the like.

We built Kanon 2 Enricher from scratch. Every node, edge, and label in the Isaacus Legal Graph Schema (ILGS), which is the format it outputs to, corresponds to at least one task head in our model. In total, we built 58 different task heads jointly optimized with 70 different loss terms.

Thanks to its novel architecture, unlike your typical LLM, Kanon 2 Enricher doesn't generate extractions token by token (which introduces the possibility of hallucinations) but instead directly classifies all the tokens in a document in a single shot. This makes it really fast.

Because Kanon 2 Enricher's feature set is so wide, there are a myriad of applications it can be used for, from financial forensics and due diligence all the way to legal research.

One of the coolest applications we've seen so far is where a Canadian government built a knowledge graph out of thousands of federal and provincial laws in order to accelerate regulatory analysis. Another cool application is something we built ourselves, a 3D interactive map of Australian High Court cases since 1903, which you can find right at the start of our announcement.

Our model has already been in use for the past month, since we released it through a closed beta that included Harvey, KPMG, Clifford Chance, Clyde & Co, Alvarez & Marsal, Smokeball, and 96 other design partners. Their feedback was instrumental in improving Kanon 2 Enricher before its public release, and we're immensely thankful to each and every beta participant.

We're eager to see what other developers manage to build with our model now that its out publicly.

"Kanon 2 Enricher is an architectural masterpiece"

If you need to say it, any halfway seasoned engineer will assume it's not true.

Also, you really want to tell people how to access it and what it costs. Or put up a "call for quote" if your market is large Enterprise budgets.

Graphitization... you keep using that word. I don't think it means you what you think it means. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphitization

You might want to call it a relational-, graph-, or knowledge graph foundation model; terms in use.
