Method for standardizing phrasing in a document

摘要

A method for standardizing phrases in a document includes the steps of identifying phrases of a document to create a preliminary list of standard phrases; filtering the preliminary list of standard phrases to create a final list of standard phrases; identifying candidate phrases of the document which are similar to the standard phrases; confirming whether a candidate phrase of the document is sufficiently proximate to the standard phrase to constitute an approximate phrase; and computing a phrase substitution to determine the appropriate conformation of standard phrase to the approximate phrase or the approximate phrase to the standard. Further this invention relates to a computer system for standardizing a document.
