Publication number: 20240176952Abstract: A classification code parser and method can include: reading a classification code having a description; reading a required keyword, and a total number of keywords associated with the classification code; reading text of a note; tokenizing the text of the note to create a note token stream, the note token stream having a note token and a position of the note token within the note token stream; creating a keyword map including a total number of matched keywords; determining a match ratio from the total number of the matched keywords and the total number of the keywords; determining a proximity factor based on a shortest span of tokens within the note token stream containing all the matched keywords; and determining a strength of a match between the classification code and the note based on the match ratio being multiplied by the proximity factor.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2024Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Brian Berns, Kirk Junker
