摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for automatically tagging documents with a given set of user-defined tags. The present invention takes as input the document to be tagged, and also a list of tags along with keywords belonging to these tags. The present invention then selects a tag, and scans the document for sentences that have keywords corresponding to the selected tag. Sentences that match the keywords are tagged with the selected tag. Once the whole document has been scanned, the present invention selects the next tag and repeats the whole process. This process is repeated until all tags have been seen.
