Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and system for combinatorial document matching. According to one embodiment, a target document and a plurality of source documents are received by the system. Thereafter, consolidated source document information associated with the plurality of source documents and permutated concept data affiliated with the target document are created. Based on comparisons of the permutated concept data and the consolidated source document information, a set of relevant documents from the plurality of source documents are determined.

Claims (46)

1 . A computer-implemented method for combinatorial document matching comprising:

receiving, at a system having a processor, a target document and a plurality of source documents;

constructing, via the system, consolidated source document information associated with the plurality of source documents;

creating, via the system, permutated concept data affiliated with the target document; and

determining, via the system, a set of relevant documents from the plurality of source documents based on a comparison of the permutated concept data and the consolidated source document information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

outputting, via the system, the set of matching documents for review by an operating user.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of constructing consolidated source document information further comprises:

analyzing, via the system, text of each of the plurality of source documents so as to extract associative source information therefrom,

wherein the associative source information includes taxonomies, concepts, and relations relating to each source document.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the step of creating permutated concept data further comprises:

analyzing, via the system, text of each of the plurality of source documents so as to extract concept information therefrom; and

separating, via the system, the concept information into a plurality of possible permutations,

wherein the concept information includes a plurality of keywords and key phrases associated with at least one defined section of a target document.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the step of determining a set of relevant documents further comprises:

combinatorially matching the associative source information relating to the plurality of source documents against the permutated concept data associated with the target document;

compiling a set of matching documents based on the substantially similarity between at least one instantiation within the permutated concept data set and a combination of at least two source documents.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing semantic relationships of the text information for the plurality of source documents and/or target document via an external information source.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, causes a combinatorial document matching system to:

construct, based on a received set of source documents, consolidated source document information associated with the plurality of source documents;

create, based on a received target document, permutated concept data affiliated with the target document; and

determine a set of relevant documents from the plurality of source documents through comparison of the permutated concept data and the consolidated source document information.

8 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the system to:

output the set of matching documents for review by an operating user.

9 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the step of constructing consolidated source document information includes executable instructions that further cause the processor:

analyze text of each of the plurality of source documents so as to extract associative source information therefrom,

wherein the associative source information includes taxonomies, concepts, and relations relating to each source document.

10 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the step of creating permutated concept data includes executable instructions that further cause the processor to:

analyze text of each of the plurality of source documents so as to extract concept information therefrom; and

divide the concept information into a plurality of possible permutations,

wherein the concept information includes a plurality of keywords and key phrases associated with at least one defined section of a target document.

11 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the step of determining a set of matching document includes executable instructions that further cause the processor to:

combinatorially match the associative source information relating to the plurality of source documents against the permutated concept data associated with the target document; and

compile a set of relevant documents based on the substantially similarity between at least one instantiation within the permutated concept data set and a combination of at least two source documents.

12 . The computer readable storage medium of claim 7 including executable instructions that further cause the processor to:

analyze semantic relationships of the text information for the plurality of source documents and/or target document via an external information source.

13 . A combinatorial document matching system comprising:

a processing engine configured to execute programming instructions and including:

a text analyzing module configured to extract concept information from an identified target document and a plurality of source documents,

a concept parsing module configured divide concept information associated with the target document into a permutation data set;

a combinatorial concept comparator configured to compare the permutated concept data of the target document with consolidated source document information generated from the plurality of source documents.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein text of each of the plurality of source documents and the target document are analyzed so as to extract concept information therefrom,

wherein the concept information includes a plurality of keywords and key phrases associated with each source document and the target document.

15 . The system of 13 , wherein concept information associated with the plurality of source documents is combinatorially matched against the permutated concept data associated with the target document, and

wherein a set of matching documents are compiled based on a substantially similarity between at least one instantiation within the permutated concept data set and a combination of at least two source documents.
