METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING DATA OF INTEREST IN A DATABASE

摘要

Templates for use in searching for data segments of interest in stores of data are defined and/or refined by analyzing related matches, extracting common or key elements, and/or generalizing or modifying the templates. This process can involve calculating the similarity between matches, clustering matches, and identifying key elements for defining and/or refining templates and/or search parameters. A user may interact with a software tool for refining templates.
