  • Patent number: 11080486
    Abstract: A computer implemented method identifies guidelines through use of a neural network by a remote guideline server. A client computer transmits instructions to the remote guideline server to retrieve and evaluate multiple candidate guidelines. The remote guideline server utilizes a neural network to identify a string of terms found in each of the multiple candidate guidelines that match one or more strings of terms from a model guideline; to identify a semantic concept of each of the multiple candidate guidelines that matches one or more semantic concepts from the model guideline; and to identify a structural pattern of each of the multiple candidate guidelines that matches one or more structural patterns of the model guideline. The candidate guidelines that match the model guideline are then sent from the remote guideline server to the client computer.
