wherein the comparing comprises providing the first update information as input to a model and comparing features classified in the model as associated with the point of interest with the first update information, and
wherein the first update information is associated with the point of interest when the first update information is associated with a given number of the features;

providing for output, when the comparison indicates that the first update information is associated with the point of interest, a first updated user interface including an indication that the point of interest is updated to include the first update information, wherein the first updated user interface is updated based on the one or more workflow states;
providing for output, when the comparison indicates that the first update information is not associated with the point of interest, a second updated user interface including an indication that the point of interest cannot be updated to include the first update information or a request for additional information associated with the submission, wherein the second updated user interface is updated based on the one or more workflow states; and
