SYSTEM FOR HYPOTHESIS GENERATION

摘要

A system for performing hypothesis generation is provided. An extraction processor extracts an entity from a data set. An association processor associates the extracted entity with a set of reference entities to obtain a potential association wherein the potential association between the extracted entity and the set of reference entities is described using a vector-based belief-value-set. A threshold processor determines whether a set of belief values of the vector-based belief- value-set exceed a predetermined threshold. If the belief values exceed a predetermined threshold the threshold processor adopts the association.
