Method and apparatus for analyzing a document

摘要

Method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are provided for analyzing a document including text. In one example, a method for identifying patterns in a document is described. The method includes identifying a plurality of candidate phrases in the document based on candidate identification criteria, grouping the candidate phrases of the plurality of candidate phrases with a phrase family based on family criteria and comparison between candidate phrases of the plurality of candidate phrases to obtain consistent phrases, and, for remaining phrases not meeting all of the candidate identification criteria, associating at least one of the remaining phrases with a phrase family based on inconsistent phrase criteria to obtain inconsistent phrases. Identified in this manner, the inconsistent phrase may be displayed via a user interface to permit a user the opportunity to determine whether an inconsistent phrase requires modification.
