SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE MEANING OF A DOCUMENT WITH RESPECT TO A CONCEPT

摘要

A computerized method for determining an impact of a document on the specific concept of interest. The method can be configured to identify a cluster of clauses or sentences from a plurality of semantically similar clauses of the document and determine one or more representative concepts for the cluster of the document. An impact of each clause of the cluster is determined using one or more semantic parameters and impact analysis rules. The impact of the each sentence of the cluster is then determined using the impact of the respective clauses and subsequently, the impact of the cluster is determined using the impact of the respective sentences. Based on the impact of the cluster, an impact of the document on the one or more representative concepts is determined.
