  • Patent number: 9727782
    Abstract: A computer product including a data structure for organizing of a plurality of documents, and capable of being utilized by a processor for manipulating data of the data structure and capable of displaying selected data on a display unit. The data structure includes a plurality of directionally interlinked nodes, each node being associated with one or more documents having a header and body text. All the documents are associated with a given node and have identical normalized body text. All documents that have identical normalized body text are associated with the same node. One or more of the nodes is associated with more than one document. For any node that is a descendent of another node, the normalized body text of each document associated with the node is inclusive of the normalized body text of a document that is associated with the other node.

  • Publication number: 20140207786
    Abstract: An information governance system comprising a plurality of classifiers which employ cutoffs for classifying at least a portion of a population of incoming documents as documents to be retained and documents to be discarded in accordance with a corresponding plurality of pre-defined retention schedules; training apparatus for training said classifiers based on relevance inputs provided by a human information governance expert regarding a training set of documents within a universe of documents to be governed; and apparatus operative to automatically cause any classified document to be retained and subsequently discarded in accordance with its pre-defined retention schedule including discarding only documents that (a) have been classified as documents to be discarded and (b) have not been classified as documents to be retained, and to automatically cause any document which could not be classified, to be retained as gray area data until further notice.

  • Patent number: 8391614
    Abstract: A system configured to find near duplicate documents. For each two (or more) documents that are similar to each other, the system is configured to identify which of the differences is likely to be generated by an Optical Character Recognition software or otherwise due to difference between the original documents. As a result, the process of identifying similarity between documents is improved by identifying documents that were originally exact duplicates but are different one with respect to the other only due to OCR errors, or correct the similarity level between the documents by correcting errors introduced by the OCR tool.

  • Patent number: 8015124
    Abstract: A system for determining that a document B is a candidate for near duplicate to a document A with a given similarity level th. The system includes a storage for providing two different functions on the documents, each function having a numeric function value. The system further includes a processor associated with the storage and configured to determine that the document B is a candidate for near duplicate to the document A, if a condition is met. The condition includes: for any function ƒi from among the two functions, ƒi(A)?ƒi(B)??i(ƒ,A,th).
