Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for estimating a similarity level between semantic entities. During operation, the system selects two or more semantic entities associated with a number documents. The system subsequently parses the documents into sub-parts, and calculates the similarity level between the semantic entities based on occurrences of the semantic entities within the sub-parts of the documents.
Claims24
A computer-executable method for estimating a similarity level between semantic entities, the method comprising:
- selecting two or more semantic entities associated with a number of documents;
- parsing the documents into sub-parts;
- and
- calculating the similarity level between the semantic entities based on occurrences of the semantic entities within the sub-parts of the documents.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for estimating a similarity level between semantic entities, the method comprising:
- selecting two or more semantic entities associated with a number of documents;
- parsing the documents into sub-parts;
- and
- calculating the similarity level between the semantic entities based on occurrences of the semantic entities within the sub-parts of the documents.
A system for estimating a similarity level between semantic entities, comprising:
- a selection mechanism configured to select two or more semantic entities associated with a number of documents;
- a parsing mechanism configured to parse the documents into sub-parts;
- an entity-similarity-calculation mechanism configured to calculate the similarity level between the semantic entities based on an occurrences of the semantic entities within the sub-parts of the documents.
