Toronto-based, Clausehound Inc. supplies business law training, tools and curriculum to educational organizations: universities, colleges, incubators and accelerators. Clausehound helps its customers, which also include lawyers and entrepreneurs, to create customized contracts, allowing them to effectively and efficiently identify and resolve problems during contract drafting and negotiation.Fast and automatic processing (indexing) of legal documentation (contracts, textbooks, etc.) to identify, categorize and analyze clause language and clause explanations is the essence of Clausehound's business. The company is partnering with Seneca to develop a new Natural Language Processing, clause-matching software that will provide automatic linking of clause segments with legal commentary. By automating the matching process, Clausehound will be able to ingest new legal documents, texts, and commentaries, at higher speed, with better accuracy, and at much lower cost, compared to manual approaches. This will remove a significant barrier to growth, currently faced by the company. Upon completion of the project Clausehound will be able to accelerate market adoption of "private library postings". This new platform feature allows organizations to post private libraries of contract terms, creating a portal specific to the client.

总部位于多伦多的Clausehound Inc.为教育机构提供商业法培训、工具和课程：大学、学院、孵化器和加速器。Clausehound帮助其客户（包括律师和企业家）创建定制合同，使他们能够在合同起草和谈判期间有效地识别和解决问题。快速自动处理（索引）法律的文档（合同、教科书等）对小句语言和小句解释进行识别、分类和分析是Clausehound的核心业务。该公司正在与Seneca合作开发一种新的自然语言处理，条款匹配软件，将提供条款段与法律的评论的自动链接。与手动方法相比，通过自动化匹配过程，Clausehound将能够以更高的速度、更高的准确性和更低的成本获取新的法律的文档、文本和评论。这将消除公司目前面临的一个重大增长障碍。项目完成后，Clausehound将能够加速“私人图书馆帖子”的市场采用。这个新的平台功能允许组织发布合同条款的私人库，创建特定于客户的门户网站。
