Abstract: Users receive information which must be filtered, processed, analysed, reviewed, consolidated and distributed or acted upon. Prior art tools automatically processing content to assign sentiment to the content are ineffective as essential aspects such as context are not considered. Embodiments of the invention provide automatic contextual based sentiment classification of content in terms of both sentiments expressed and their intensity. Further a content set is analysed to rapidly establish an “at-a-glance” type assessment of the key topics/themes present within the content set and sentimentally annotate each. Importantly embodiments of the invention also provide for a user to establish the basis for the sentiment associated with an item of or set of content, i.e. make it explainable. Further embodiments of the invention provide for the establishment of psychological tone to sentiments where the sentiments and psychological tones to be tuned from the context or domain of the content.

Abstract: Individuals receive overwhelming barrage of information which must be filtered, processed, analyzed, reviewed, consolidated and distributed or acted upon. However, prior art tools for automatically processing content, such as for example returning search results from an Internet or database search for example are ineffective. Prior art search techniques merely provide large numbers of “hits” with at most removal of multiple occurrences of identical items. However, it would be beneficial to present searches as a series of multi-document clusters wherein occurrences of commonly themed content are clustered allowing the user to rapidly see the number of different themes and review a selected theme. Further, it would be beneficial, in repeated searches, for new clusters to be identified automatically as well as new items of content associated with existing clusters to be associated to these clusters.

Abstract: Individuals receive overwhelming barrage of information which must be filtered, processed, analyzed, reviewed, consolidated and distributed or acted upon. Automatic approaches to “scraping” salient content from sources of content are provided allowing the salient content to be provided to the user or subjected to further processing such as clustering or sentiment analysis for example. Embodiments of the invention provide for: automated scraper induction based on document and/or contextual semantic cues and document structure analysis.
