Abstract: A computer implemented method and apparatus for analyzing content of a plurality of documents. The method extracts semantic information from content of a plurality of documents; assigns weights to the semantic information; assigns links between documents containing similar semantic information; assigns a weight to each link; extracts information about the content of the plurality of documents by using the weighted links and weighted semantics to cluster the documents, perform inferential analysis, or both.
