Abstract
The present application relates to systems for generating new variants from an existing corpus of documents and methods for using the same. The systems and methods generally comprise a corpus of documents and one or more types of variety provided by a user. The system generates one or more documents that are variants of the documents in the corpus of documents.
Claims16
A computer implemented method in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory comprising instructions which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement a document generation system, and a user interface, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the document generation system, one or more documents selected by a user that defines a corpus;
- receiving, by the document generation system, one or more types of variety selected by the user, wherein at least one type of selected variety comprises an inverse of indifference, where indifference is the radius of the smallest subgraph centered on that vertex which allows it to be distinguished from all other vertices;
- determining, by the document generation system, the variety of each document in the corpus by applying the one or more types of variety to the one or more documents in the corpus;
- generating, by the document generation system, one or more new documents, wherein the one or more new documents are variants in the same genre of the one or more documents in the corpus;
- determining, by the document generation system, the variety of each new document by applying the one or more types of variety to the one or more new documents;
- generating, by the document generation system, at least one variety graphic depicting the variety of the one or more new documents in comparison to each of the documents in the corpus;
- and
- transmitting, by the user interface, the one or more new documents and the at least one variety graphic to the user.
A system for generating new documents, comprising:
- A user interface and a memory comprising instructions which are executed by a processor configured to:
- receive one or more documents selected by a user that defines a corpus;
- receive one or more types of variety selected by the user, wherein at least one type of selected variety comprises an inverse of indifference, where indifference is the radius of the smallest subgraph centered on that vertex which allows it to be distinguished from all other vertices;
- determine the variety of each document in the corpus by applying the one or more types of variety to the one or more documents in the corpus;
- generate one or more new documents, wherein the one or more new documents are variants in the same genre of the one or more documents in the corpus;
- determine the variety of each new document by applying the one or more types of variety to the one or more new documents;
- generate at least one variety graphic depicting the variety of the one of more new documents in comparison to each of the documents in the corpus;
- and
- transmit, via the user interface, the one or more new documents and the at least one variety graphic to the user.
A computer program product for the generation of new documents, the computer program product comprising a user interface and a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive one or more documents selected by a user that defines a corpus;
- receive one or more types of variety selected by the user, wherein at least one type of selected variety comprises an inverse of indifference, where indifference is the radius of the smallest subgraph centered on that vertex which allows it to be distinguished from all other vertices;
- determine the variety of each document in the corpus by applying the one or more types of variety to the one or more documents in the corpus;
- generate one or more new documents, wherein the one or more new documents are variants in the same genre of the one or more documents in the corpus;
- determine the variety of each new document by applying the one or more types of variety to the one or more new documents;
- generate at least one variety graphic depicting the variety of the one of more new documents in comparison to each of the document in the corpus;
- and
- transmit, via the user interface, the one or more new documents and the at least one variety graphic to the user.
