  • Patent number: 9269053
    Abstract: An example method for reviewing documents includes scoring documents using an artificial intelligence model, and selecting a subset of highest scoring documents. The method further includes inserting a number of randomly-selected documents into the subset of highest scoring documents to form a set of documents for review, wherein a reviewer cannot differentiate between the randomly-selected documents and the subset of highest scoring documents included in the set of documents for review, and presenting the set of documents for review by the reviewer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2012
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2016

  • Patent number: 7676463
    Abstract: Disclosed information exploration system and method embodiments operate on a document set to determine a document cluster hierarchy. An exclusionary phrase index is determined for each cluster, and representative phrases are selected from the indexes. The selection process may enforce pathwise uniqueness and balanced sub-cluster representation. The representative phrases may be used as cluster labels in an interactive information exploration interface.

  • Patent number: 7483892
    Abstract: A term-by-document matrix is compiled from a corpus of documents representative of a particular subject matter that represents the frequency of occurrence of each term per document. A weighted term dictionary is created using a global weighting algorithm and then applied to the term-by-document matrix forming a weighted term-by-document matrix. A term vector matrix and a singular value concept matrix are computed by singular value decomposition of the weighted term-document index. The k largest singular concept values are kept and all others are set to zero thereby reducing to the concept dimensions in the term vector matrix and a singular value concept matrix. The reduced term vector matrix, reduced singular value concept matrix and weighted term-document dictionary can be used to project pseudo-document vectors representing documents not appearing in the original document corpus in a representative semantic space.
