  • Method for estimating the relevance of a document with respect to a concept
    Patent number: 7480645
    Abstract: The method of estimating the relevance of a document with respect to a concept comprises calculating (32) a relevance function of the concept with respect to said document on the basis of a known predetermined semantic neighborhood of the concept. It further comprises calculating an ambiguity function of said concept in said document, which ambiguity function is different from the relevance function, said calculation being an estimation based on the presence in the document of different meanings of the concept. The method follows on from a preliminary step of detecting ambiguous concepts in a database.
    Type: Grant

  • System for predictive analysis of time series data flows
    Patent number: 7299214
    Abstract: This system for predictive analysis of digital data time flows associated with text information (18) comprises means (12) for automatically predicting values (24) of a digital data time flow from past values (22) of said flow. It further comprises means (14) for analyzing text information (18) to supply the prediction means (12) with a weighted concept vector (20) associated with the past values (22) of the digital data time flow.
