  • Patent number: 11887018
    Abstract: A hypotheses generation and event recognition system that enables event recognition by analyzing documents to construct one or more qualitative metrics (e.g., frequency of keywords, changes in sentiment, occurrence of ontological terms, evolution of topics, etc.), establishing a baseline for the qualitative metric(s), and outputting changes to that baseline for display. In aggregate, those qualitative metrics comprise temporal and/or spatial signals that, when combined, define signatures of events of interest. Accordingly, the user and/or the system may identify an event of interest based on the change in baseline. The system may further provide functionality to generate hypotheses by coding data according to an ontology, populating an ontology space, and using an optimization algorithm to rank points or neighborhoods in the coded ontology space.
    Type: Grant
