  • Patent number: 9916397
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to generating a retrieval condition for retrieving a target character string from texts by pattern matching. An aspect includes dividing a first text into words. Another aspect includes generating a converted character string by performing at least one of appending at least one character in at least either one of previous and subsequent positions of the target character string. Another aspect includes replacing at least one character of the target character string. Another aspect includes generating the retrieval condition for retrieval candidates in the words of the first text, the retrieval condition comprising determining that a retrieval candidate matches the target character string and does not match the converted character string based on a ratio of a part of the retrieval candidate which matches the converted character string and corresponds to the target character string is less than or equal to a reference frequency.

  • Publication number: 20180004727
    Abstract: A keyword to be categorized is received. A category dictionary including categories having associated registered keywords, and a text corpus are received. Registered keywords are identified in the category dictionary having a degree of similarity to the keyword to be categorized that is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and the categories associated with the identified registered keywords are extracted. Registered keywords are identified that are co-occurring in the text corpus with the keyword to be categorized, and the categories associated with the identified co-occurring registered keywords are extracted. A degree of importance is determined for each extracted category based on a function of the identified registered keywords in the category dictionary and/or a function of the identified co-occurring registered keywords.

  • Publication number: 20170091172
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a dangerous expression based on a particular theme. An aspect includes acquiring, by an electronic apparatus, from text data for learning, a subset of the text data associated with the particular theme and with particular time period information. Another aspect includes extracting text data containing negative information from the acquired subset of the text data. Another aspect includes extracting a word or phrase having a high correlation with the extracted text data or a word or phrase having a high appearance frequency in the extracted text data from the extracted text data. Yet another aspect includes determining that the extracted word or phrase is the dangerous expression based on the particular theme.

  • Publication number: 20150026553
    Abstract: A hardware device analyzes a document that includes a text-based visual representation. A correspondence information hardware storage device holds known representations of graphical images as text-based visual representations. The graphical images depict portraits of physical objects. The text-based visual representations are associated with information that each describe one of the physical objects. An identification hardware device identifies a text-based visual representation within a document. The identification hardware device matches the text-based visual representation within the document to one or more of the text-based visual representations stored in the correspondence information hardware storage device. An editing hardware device retrieves information from the correspondence information hardware storage device that is identified, by the identification hardware device, as describing a text-based visual representation component within the document.
