  • Computational accelerator for determination of linkages across disparate works in model-based system engineering
    Patent number: 10922446
    Abstract: A computational accelerator for determination of linkages across disparate works in a model-based system engineering (MBSE) regime accesses textual content of MBSE works and performs preprocessing of each MBSE work to produce a preprocessed data structures representing the MBSE works. The preprocessing gatherings significant terms from each MBSE work, and delineates the textual content of each MBSE work into segments corresponding to separately identifiable textual statements. Segment-wise comparison between segment pairings of the preprocessed data structures corresponding to different MBSE works is performed to produce a set of segment-wise comparison results based on terms common to each segment pairing, and statement-wise linkages between statements of the MBSE works are determined based on the set of segment-wise comparison results.
