  • Patent number: 11361031
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a system, a computer program product, and a method for identification of linguistically related elements, and more specifically to prediction of a linguistically related element. A linguistic algorithm forms a cluster representation of corpus entries. A linguistic term is identified and applied to the cluster representation to identify proximally related linguistic terms. Associative relationships between the proximally related terms and category metadata are iteratively investigated. One or more linguistic terms related across the two more metadata categories is identified and designated as the linguistically related element.
