  • Publication number: 20170161257
    Abstract: A representative system and method for linguistic differentiation comprises a computing device: receiving input data from a requestor; generating a plurality of term units from the input data, where the plurality of term units comprise of a first number of term units; identifying a plurality of differentiable terms of the plurality of term units, where the plurality of differentiable terms comprise a second number of term units; determining a differentiability score for each term unit of the plurality of term units; determining an input data score for the input data by evaluating a ratio of the second number of term units to the first number of term units; and transmitting, a plurality of differentiable term units to the requestor in order of their differentiability scores.

  • Patent number: 9424339
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention form an information set from the current set of index information available by the operations of the Pre-Search and RunTime Search components of the search engine. A search request that contains search terms and/or other search criteria (e.g. date or file type) is entered by a user through an input interface. The search terms and the information set are worked through the search engine modules to provide the actual results sought by the user. These results are provided to the user via a Return Interface. Embodiments involve a search engine that forms a numeric code index that includes grammar embedded rules from a plurality of documents, converts a search request into the same format as the index, and then compares the index and the search request to form the search results.

  • Patent number: 8965881
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention form an information set from the current set of index information available by the operations of the pre-search and runtime Search components of the search engine. A search request that contains search terms and/or other search criteria (e.g. date or file type) is entered by a user through an input interface. The search terms and the information set are worked through the search engine modules to provide the actual results sought by the user. These results are provided to the user via an output interface. Embodiments involve converting a search request into a format of an index of documents, and then comparing the converted search request and the index for matches.

  • Patent number: 7996383
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention form an information set from the current set of index information available by the operations of the pre-search and runtime Search components of the search engine. A search request that contains search terms and/or other search criteria (e.g. date or file type) is entered by a user through an input interface. The search terms and the information set are worked through the search engine modules to provide the actual results sought by the user. These results are provided to the user via an output interface. Embodiments of a search engine involve runtime aspects that remove duplicate documents from the index, provide topical searching, and provide caching for the search engine.

A search request that contains search terms and/or other search criteria (e.g. date or file type) is entered by a user through an input interface. The search terms and the information set are worked through the search engine modules to provide the actual results sought by the user. These results are provided to the user via an output interface. Embodiments involve scanning the repository for documents that comprise at least one information type, and forming a numerical matrix from the scanned documents.
