MATCHING ARBITRARY INPUT PHRASES TO STRUCTURED PHRASE DATA

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for comparing data between dissimilar data hierarchies. Techniques provide an entity pool comprising multiple entities having established relationships and hierarchies. A user selects data from one hierarchy, and a mapping to a node in a structure that provides a normalized hierarchy is found. After identifying a node mapped to the data selection, elements corresponding to a second hierarchy that also maps to the same node (or otherwise obtained from using known natural language processing techniques) are identified. Doing so allows comparable elements of otherwise dissimilar hierarchies to be identified.

1. A computer-implemented method for obtaining data corresponding to comparable elements in a first hierarchy and a second hierarchy, the method comprising:
receiving a selection of one or more elements in the first hierarchy; identifying, by operation of one or more computer processors, a mapping from the one or more elements in the first hierarchy to a node in an entity pool; and upon determining one or more elements in the second hierarchy map to the identified node in the entity pool:
retrieving data corresponding to the one or more elements in the first hierarchy and the one or more elements in the second hierarchy, andreturning the retrieved data.
