METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING SEMANTIC PATTERNS IN WRITTEN LANGUAGE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a computer program, as well as digital storage holding such, for identifying similar relationship patterns, concepts, or systemic units, described using any of a multitude of terminologies and vocabularies, across different knowledge domains in order to perform information searching. Using a simple web based interface and a language they understand, researchers can explore unfamiliar scientific domains to identify patterns and conceptual analogies that inspire radical breakthroughs.

1. A method of indexing and searching text documents using abstracted semantic mappings and relationship patterns, for each target document in the target corpus, the method comprising:
parsing the target document using natural language algorithms to produce an aggregated set of dependency graphs comprising terms and dependencies; disambiguating at least one target term in the target document by assigning to the target term at least one semantic sense of the target term; identifying for the at least one target term in the target document, a superset of senses with a semantic sense similar to the at least one semantic sense assigned to the target term; and constructing a semantic graph from the aggregated set of dependency graphs to represent at least two target terms in the target document and their relationship(s).
