About Huridocs

HURIDOCS helps human rights groups gather, organise and use information for justice and accountability. Since 1982, they have developed methodologies and tools that make it easier not only to manage collections of evidence, law and research, but also to analyze them for insights.

About Their AI Solution

HURIDOCS is working to bring machine learning into their flagship tool for building databases of human rights information, Uwazi. Managing a collection of evidence, research or law is a time-consuming endeavour. Human rights defenders must gather thousands of records, add each one to the database, classify them, and specify the relationship that one entry has to another. They are exploring using machine learning to automatically fetch information from an online source, make highly accurate suggestions for how to categorise records, extract the basic elements of a document, and deliver better search results.
