  • Patent number: 11275799
    Abstract: An information processing device includes an acquisition unit, a division unit, and a determination unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire content for which index data is to be created. The division unit is configured to divide the content into predetermined blocks. The determination unit is configured to refer to unnecessary term information and determine a region in each block that is not allowed to be referred to when the index data of the content is created. In the unnecessary term information, an unnecessary term is specified among terms included in the content. The unnecessary term is a term that is not allowed to be registered in the index data.

  • Publication number: 20210173844
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires input information including (i) feature information indicating a feature of similarity of a content between a first document element and a second document element, (ii) an attribute of the first document element, and (iii) an attribute of the second document element, and a generation unit that generates relation information corresponding to the input information acquired by the acquisition unit, by an AI which has learned to generate the relation information indicating a relation between the first document element and the second document element from the input information in advance by machine learning, in which each of the contents of the first document element and the second document element is formed of one or more parts, and the feature information is obtained based on similarity information indicating similarity of a pair of the parts between the first document element and the second document element.

  • Patent number: 10445320
    Abstract: Provided is a document search apparatus including a reception unit that receives plural search words in a hierarchical relationship, and a setting unit that sets a first content among plural contents in a hierarchical relationship included in structured document data, as a search range of a first search word received by the reception unit, and sets a second content at a same hierarchical level as a hierarchical level of the first content or a hierarchical level lower than a hierarchical level of the first content, as a search range of a second search word at a hierarchical level lower than a hierarchical level of the first search word.

  • Publication number: 20150301994
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process including: acquiring plural designated successive versions of structured document information; extracting differences between previous and subsequent versions of the acquired structured document information; determining collections of differences with a common element name, of the extracted differences, as working ranges; and generating difference information by summarizing, of the working ranges, working ranges that match a condition determined in advance by omitting the differences included in such working ranges.
