  • Knowledge discovery agent system
    Patent number: 10049162
    Abstract: A system and method for processing information in unstructured or structured form, comprising a computer running in a distributed network with one or more data agents. Associations of natural language artifacts may be learned from natural language artifacts in unstructured data sources, and semantic and syntactic relationships may be learned in structured data sources, using grouping based on a criteria of shared features that are dynamically determined without the use of a priori classifications, by employing conditional probability constraints.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 14, 2018
    Assignee: Digital Reasoning Systems, Inc.
    Inventor: Timothy W. Estes
