Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods and products for interpreting and structuring free text records utilizing extractions of several types including syntactic, role, thematic and domain extractions. Also disclosed herein are systems, methods and products for integrating interpretive extractions with structured data into unified structures that can be analyzed with, among other tools, data mining and data visualization tools.
Claims15
A computer program product located to one or more storage media devices usable to produce structured data from unstructured free text, said computer program product comprising instructions executable by a computer to perform the functions of:
- accessing a source of unstructured data, the unstructured data including free text;
- identifying text records within the free text;
- linguistically parsing the identified text records;
- identifying roles within the parsed text, said identifying producing attribute extractions, each of the attribute extractions containing attribute information of the derived source text;
- filtering the identified attribute extractions with a criteria;
- and
- producing a structured data element from the filtered set of attribute extractions.
