Patent number: 10289609Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for processing data items in a data source, and an equivalent method. More specifically, the apparatus is configured to reduce a lattice representation of data items in a data source. The apparatus has a processor that is operable to retrieve data items from the data source and to determine a context defining relationships between data items and one or more properties associated with the data items. An initial lattice data structure is generated based on the determined context. The processor then reduces the size of the lattice by dividing the initial lattice data structure into a plurality of subgroup lattice, reducing the size of each of the subgroups of lattice, and combining them to form a reduced lattice data structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2013Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: British Telecommunications PLCInventors: Andrei Majidian, Trevor Martin

Publication number: 20070016571Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for generating, from an input set of documents, a word replaceability matrix defining semantic similarity between words occurring in the input document set. For each word, distinct word sequences of predetermined length are identified from the documents of the set, each word sequence being indicative of the context in which the word was used and, according to the relative frequency of occurrence of the identified word sequences for the word, fuzzy sets are generated for each word comprising membership values for corresponding groups of word sequences. For each pair of words occurring in the document set, their respective fuzzy sets are used to calculate the probability that the first word of a pair is semantically suitable as a replacement for the second word of the pair, these probabilities being collated to form a word similarity matrix for use in an improved method of determining document similarity and in information retrieval.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2004Publication date: January 18, 2007Inventors: Behrad Assadian, Behnam Azvine, Trevor Martin
