  • Patent number: 8706724
    Abstract: A feature extraction device obtains a partial feature vector having the precision required for the partial document. The feature extraction device searches a document tree, and detects elements as search elements. The device calculates an inter-element distance between an extraction target element within elements of the document tree and the search element. The device refers to an exclusive element name and generates exclusivity information indicating, for the extraction target element, whether the search element is the exclusive element. The device calculates, based on an inter-element distance and the exclusivity information, a weight for a word included in the element, and relates and calculates, for each search element, based on weights, an element feature vector having each of dimensions that uniquely corresponds to a word. The device calculates based on the element feature vector, a partial document feature vector of a partial document related to the extracted target element.
