  • Patent number: 12045576
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for systems and methods for processing data. In some aspects, a data processing system may comprise at least one computing device, wherein the computing device may be configured to facilitate the performance of at least one process for extracting one or more domain-specific topics or themes from at least one data set. In some implementations, one or more data sets may be received by the data processing system such that the data processing system may identify one or more n-grams within each data item. In some embodiments, one or more of the n-grams may identified as being potentially associated with a correlating topic or theme such that data items comprising the same or similar n-grans may be aggregated into the same topic or theme, thereby assisting a user with quickly locating desirable data items within the data set.
