  • Patent number: 10733220
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include method, systems and computer program products for using a target similarity calculation to identify relevant content in a corpus of documents or records. The computer-implemented method includes creating, by a processor, a term frequency (TF) list for one or more documents of a corpus. The processor calculates an inverse document frequency (IDF) for each listed term. The processor calculates a TF-IDF for each listed term. The processor determines a similarity ranking for one or more documents of the corpus using a target similarity calculation using the TF-IDF for each listed term.

  • Patent number: 10482133
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods, and computing systems, and computer program products for creating and editing documents. Aspects include creating a new document by a user using an interactive content manager system, and selecting one or more existing documents related to new document from a content database by user using a content source selection interface. Aspects also include performing content unit mining on the existing documents to extract a set of existing content units, and on the new document to extract a set of new content units, respectively, by a content unit mining and extraction module. Aspects further include comparing set of existing content units and the set of new content units to obtain a set of updated content units using a content unit comparison module, and updating the new document using the set of updated content units by the user using an interactive content manager module.
