How to Implement LENU – Legal Entity Name Understanding for Switzerland

Jun 12, 2024 | Educational

The LENU model is a powerful tool designed to classify the legal names of entities in Switzerland, providing a streamlined approach to understanding their legal form codes (ELF Codes). This model was developed in collaboration with the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) and Sociovestix Labs to facilitate compliance and identity verification for a myriad of users, including banks, corporations, and government entities. In this blog post, we’ll take you through the steps to utilize this model effectively.

Understanding the Basics

Before diving into implementation, let’s clarify the crucial concepts the LENU model addresses:

  • Legal Entity Identifier (LEI): A unique identifier for legal entities participating in financial transactions.
  • Entity Legal Form (ELF) Codes: Codes that classify the type of legal entity based on its structure and jurisdiction.

Implementation Steps

To implement the LENU model, follow these simple steps:

  1. Install the LENU Library

    First, ensure you have Python installed, then use pip to install the LENU library:

    pip install lenu
  2. Load the Model

    In your Python environment, import the model to start working with it:

    from lenu import Lenu
  3. Prepare Your Data

    Your dataset should contain the legal entity names you wish to classify. Ensure they are formatted correctly for optimal results.

  4. Run the Classification

    Use the model to classify your entities:

    model = Lenu()
    results = model.classify(entity_names)
  5. Analyze Results

    Review the results, especially the assigned ELF Codes, to ensure they accurately reflect the entity’s legal structure.

Using the LENU Model: An Analogy

Think of the LENU model as a librarian in a vast library of legal entities. Just as a librarian can quickly locate and categorize books based on their titles and subjects, the LENU model parses through entity names to identify and classify them according to their respective legal forms. With the librarian’s skill in categorization, you can easily access the information you need about diverse entities without sifting through each book manually.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues during implementation, here are some common troubleshooting ideas:

  • Dependency Issues: Ensure all dependencies are installed. Running pip install lenu should automatically resolve most of these.
  • Input Formatting: Check that your entity names are clean and formatted correctly. Inconsistent names can lead to inaccurate classifications.
  • Low Classification Scores: If you get low scores for ELF Codes, consider reviewing the suggestions manually. The model’s performance can vary based on the quality of input data.
