Concepts and link discovery system

A processor-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving at least one user input indicating a selection of a first concept from a plurality of concepts, the first concept being defined by the presence or absence of a text string in an unstructured data object or a data code stored in a structured data object;
• the at least one user input indicating a selection of a second concept from the plurality of concepts, the second concept being defined by the presence or absence of a text string in an unstructured data object or a data code stored in a structured data object;
• the at least one user input indicating a selection of a third concept from the plurality of concepts, the third concept being defined by the presence or absence of a text string in an unstructured data object or a data code stored in a structured data object;
• and
• determining via a processor a multilink relationship between the first concept, the second concept, and the third concept, the multilink relationship indicating (1) a strength of a relationship between the first concept and the second concept, and (2) a strength of a relationship between the first concept, the second concept, and the third concept;
• and
• displaying a visual representation indicative of the multilink relationship.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising code representing instructions configured to cause a processor to:

• select a first concept based on a selection of a first data object from user, the first concept selected from a plurality of concepts;
• select a second concept based on a selection of a second data object from the user, the second concept from the plurality of concepts;
• and
• display a relationship between the first data object and the second data object based on a number of documents from the plurality of documents including the first concept having a predetermined proximity to the second concept.

A system, comprising:

• a user input module configured to receive a first selection, from a user, indicative of a first concept, the first concept being defined by the presence or absence of a text string in an unstructured data object,
• the user input module configured to receive a second selection, from a user, the second selection indicative of a second concept, the second concept being defined by the presence or absence of a text string in an unstructured data object,
• the user input module configured to receive a third selection, from a user, the third selection indicative of a third concept, the third concept being defined by the presence or absence of a text string in an unstructured data object;
• a link discovery module operatively coupled to the user input module, link discovery module configured to discover (1) at least one link between the first concept, the second concept, and the third concept, the at least one link based on a number of documents from the plurality of documents that include the first concept, the second concept, and the third concept, and (2) at least one link between:
• (a) the first concept and the second concept based on a number of documents from the plurality of documents that include the first concept, the second concept, and not the third concept, (b) the first concept and the third concept based on a number of documents from the plurality of documents that include the first concept, the third concept, and not the second concept, or (c) the second concept and the third concept based on a number of documents from the plurality of documents that include the second concept, the third concept, and not the first concept;
• and
• a display module operatively coupled to the link discovery module and a display, the display module configured to cause the display to output a visual representation of (A) the at least one link between the first concept, the second concept, and the third concept, and (B) the at least one link between the first concept and the second concept, the first concept and the third concept, or the second concept and the third concept.
