  • Publication number: 20240282413
    Abstract: A similar clinical trial search support system stores clinical trial information related to a plurality of clinical trials conducted in the past, and clinical trial item information that associates a clinical trial item in which a setting item of each clinical trial is described in a character string, performs a search based on a first search item to acquire the identification information of one or more clinical trials as a first search result, adds a second search item to perform a search, so as to acquire identification information of the one or more clinical trials as a second search result, acquires a plurality of the clinical trial items corresponding to the first search result from the clinical trial item information, clusters the plurality of acquired clinical trial items to generate a plurality of clusters, and calculates, for each cluster, a ratio of the number of the clinical trial items.

  • Publication number: 20230206673
    Abstract: In screening of documents based on a similarity between keywords, it is difficult to exclude documents having similar background but different conclusions. In a document review assistance method executed by a computer system, a storage unit stores data on a plurality of documents, and the document review assistance method includes: a step of creating, by a control unit, a sentence vector based on a sentence included in the plurality of documents; a step of classifying, by the control unit, the plurality of documents into a plurality of clusters based on the created sentence vector; a step of specifying, by the control unit, a subgraph on a network of a word in a first document set included in at least one of the clusters; and a step of controlling, by the control unit, the creation of the sentence vector based on the specified subgraph.

  • Publication number: 20220318496
    Abstract: A multistage inference system includes a causality expression storage unit that stores a plurality of sentences including a pair of a phrase representing a cause and a phrase representing an effect, and a scenario reliability calculator that calculates a score for evaluating causality chain possibility among the sentences. The score is calculated based on type identity of documents including the sentences or information on authors of the documents.

  • Publication number: 20210200797
    Abstract: It becomes possible to implement a route search fast, and furthermore routes whose meanings are easy to understand are searched for by linking routes on the basis of relations with similar backgrounds. A provided relevance analyzing device includes a control section and a database. The database stores: node data about nodes on a network representing relevance between a plurality of events, and edge data about edges representing interrelationships between the events. The control section includes: an inter-edge background similarity computing section that computes a similarity between documents corresponding to two edges by using the node data and edge data stored in the database; and a route computing section that computes routes with high similarities as routes on the network.
