Neural network for rule mining and authoring

A computer hardware system for automatically generating business rules to be employed by a business rule management system, comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to perform the following executable operations:
• identifying a plurality of external data sources from which to receive data updates;
• obtaining, from at least one of the plurality of external data sources, a data update relevant to a collection of business rules;
• performing, using a contextual analysis engine, a contextual analysis of the data update;
• generating, using a machine learning engine and based upon the contextual analysis of the data update, an update to the collection of business rules to form an updated collection of business rules;
• modifying the machine learning engine based upon feedback received on the update to the collection of business rules;
• and
• forwarding the updated collection of business rules to the business rule management system.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having stored therein program code for automatically generating business rules to be employed by a business rule management system,
• the program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, cause the computer hardware system to perform:
• identifying a plurality of external data sources from which to receive data updates;
• obtaining, from at least one of the plurality of external data sources, a data update relevant to a collection of business rules;
• performing, using a contextual analysis engine, a contextual analysis of the data update;
• generating, using a machine learning engine and based upon the contextual analysis of the data update, an update to the collection of business rules to form an updated collection of business rules;
• modifying the machine learning engine based upon feedback received on the update to the collection of business rules;
• and
• forwarding the updated collection of business rules to the business rule management system.
