Abstract
A method for generating, classifying, searching, and analyzing standardized text templates drawn from a plurality of text documents and for identifying standardized text deviations from standardized text templates. Semi-standardized documents may be represented as standardized templates and deviations from standardized templates, with such templates themselves automatically generated by a computer-implemented method from a plurality of similar text documents. The method enables enhanced analysis of semi-standardized documents and automatic extraction of information from standardized text templates.
Claims21
A computer system configured to automatically analyze text documents by performing the following steps in the order recited:
- receiving a subject text document;
- comparing the text of the subject text document or the text of a subset of the subject text document to the text of a plurality of given text templates, each text template containing at least one paragraph of text;
- determining which given text template or text templates has text that matches the text of the subject text document or the text of the subset of the subject text document to a given degree of correspondence;
- and
- generating a report of the differences between the text of the subject text document or the text of the subset of the subject text document and the text of the matching text template or text templates.
Non-transitory, tangible, computer readable media containing computer programming instructions that, when loaded in a computer system having a memory, cause the computer system, in response to user commands, to automatically analyze text documents by performing the following steps in the order recited:
- receiving a subject text document;
- comparing the text of the subject text document or the text of a subset of the subject text document to the text of a plurality of given text templates, each text template containing at least one paragraph of text;
- determining which given text template or text templates has text that matches the text of the subject text document or the text of the subset of the subject text document to a given degree of correspondence;
- and
- generating a report of the differences between the text of the subject text document or the text of the subset of the subject text document and the text of the matching text template or text templates.
A computer-implemented method of automatically analyzing text documents in which a computer performs the following steps in the order recited:
- receiving a subject text document;
- comparing the text of the subject text document or the text of a subset of the subject text document to the text of a plurality of given text templates, each text template containing at least one paragraph of text;
- determining which given text template or text templates has text that matches the text of the subject text document or the text of the subset of the subject test document to a given degree of correspondence;
- and
- generating a report of the differences between the text of the subject text document or the text of the subset of the subject text document and the text of the matching text template or text templates.
