Method and system for classifying documents

A computer-implemented method for determining whether a claim has merit to warrant claim recovery, the method comprising:

• describing, using a computer, a set of documents having unstructured and structured file data containing terms and phrases having one or more contextual bases;
• transforming the terms and phrases for iterating upon a classification process to create rules that classify the set of documents based upon the context;
• incorporating the rules into classification schema to classify the claims;
• generating said classification schema using said computer;
• wherein the schema calculates at least one score and one or more concept vectors to identify the claims that demonstrate a threshold probability for recovery.

A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium for determining whether an insurance claims has merit to warrant claim recovery comprising:

• code for causing a computer to partially describing a set of documents having unstructured and structured file data containing terms and phrases having contextual bases;
• code for causing a computer to transform the terms and phrases;
• code for iterating a classification process to determine rules that classify the set of documents based upon context;
• code for causing a computer to incorporate the rules into one or more or an induction and knowledge representation;
• thesauri taxonomy and text summarization to classify claims;
• code for causing a computer to calculate a score and a concept vector to identify the selected claims that demonstrate a threshold probability of recovery.

A computer system for determining whether a claim has merit to warrant claim recovery comprising:

• a computer implemented means for describing a set of documents containing terms and phrases having contextual bases;
• a means for transforming the terms and phrases;
• a computer implemented means for iterating a classification process to determine rules that best classify the set of documents based upon context;
• a computer implemented means for incorporating the rules into an induction and knowledge representation;
• a thesauri taxonomy and a text summarization to classify claims;
• a computer implemented means for calculating a base score and one or more concept vectors to identify the selected claims that demonstrate a given probability of recovery.

A computer system for determining whether a claim has merit to warrant claim recovery comprising:

• a file system for electronic claim files to serve as input to a search and indexing engine;
• a database for concepts and term data created from a classification process for uploading to a scoring engine;
• an indexer having at least one index database to store groups of synonyms each associated with a concept wherein:
• (1) each concept forms an element in a vector;
• and (2) a file stored in the file system is compared against the elements of the vector to determine whether the file contains the stored concept element;
• and (3) if the file contains an element of the concept vector the event is flagged.

A computer process for determining whether a claim has merit to warrant recovery comprising:

• inputting electronic claim files to a search and indexing engine controlled by a computer;
• creating a dictionary of term data having synonyms relating to the claim files and uploading the data to a scoring engine associated with a computer;
• storing at least one database of the synonyms each associated with one or more concepts wherein:
• (1) one or more concept form into an element in a vector;
• (2) a claim file database of the synonyms is compared against the elements of the vector to determine whether the file contains the stored concept element.
