Method & Apparatus for Identifying Contract Characteristics

摘要

A contract characteristic identification application includes a user interface, a plurality of contract characteristic definitions, a natural language processing module and a characteristic identification function. At least one contract characteristic is defined and evaluated and the text of at least one contract is entering into the application. A document evaluation function included in the natural language processing module operates to evaluate the contents of the text of the contract against the defined contract characteristic and returns a listing of contract text that is closest to the defined contract characteristic of interest.
