Abstract

A system for evaluating text data to support multiple applications is disclosed. In some embodiments, text input data is received from multiple sources. The text input data may then be aggregated and mapped to create composite text input data. A semantic event in the composite text input data may be automatically detected, such as by being triggered by a semantic rule and associated semantic tag. A text mining result database may be updated by adding an entry to the database identifying the detected semantic event and the triggering semantic rule. An indication associated with the text mining result database may then be transmitted to a plurality of applications.

aggregate and map the received text input data to create composite text input data,

automatically detect a semantic event in the composite text input data triggered by named entity recognition rule,

flag the detected semantic event as meeting a pre-determined condition,

update a text mining result database, responsive to the flag, by adding an entry to the database identifying the named entity recognition rule, and

transmit an indication associated with the text mining result database to the plurality of server-based applications.

The system of claim 1 , wherein the text input data is associated with at least two of: (i) an insurance claim file, (ii) an insurance claim note, (iii) a medical report, (iv) a police report, (v) social network data, (vi) big data information, (vii) a loss description, (viii) an injury description, (ix) a final notice of loss statement, (x) telephone call transcript, (xi) optical character recognition data, (xii) third-party data, and (xiii) a governmental agency.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the insurance applications are associated with at least two of: (i) a workers' compensation claim, (ii) a personal insurance policy, (iii) a business insurance policy, (iv) an automobile insurance policy, (v) a home insurance policy, (vi) a sentiment analysis, (vii) insurance event detection, (viii) a cluster analysis, (ix) a predictive model, (x) a subrogation analysis, (xi) fraud detection, (xii) a recovery factor analysis, (xiii) large loss and volatile claim detection, (xiv) a premium evasion analysis, (xv) an insurance policy comparison, (xvi) an underwriting decision, and (xvii) indicator incidence rate trending.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted indication is to: (i) trigger a server-based insurance application, or (ii) update a server-based insurance application.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted indication is associated with a variable or weighing factor of a predictive model.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein multiple versions of the named entity recognition rule are maintained along with multiple versions of the text mining result database.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the semantic event is associated with at least one of: (i) a word, (ii) a phrase, (iii) a shorthand term, (iv) a prescription drug, and (v) an insurance carrier name.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the named entity recognition rule is associated with at least one of: (i) a noun, (ii) a verb, (iii) a definition, (iv) a semantic tree, (v) a root, (vi) a noun phrase, (vii) a prepositional phrase, and (vii) a verb phrase.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer storage device further stores instructions adapted to be executed by the processor to:

map typographical errors in the composite text input data to a word dictionary,

map abbreviations in the composite text input data to the word dictionary,

map phrases in the composite text input data to a phrase dictionary,

apply semantic tags to the mapped phrases, and

output rule matches at a level representing at least one of: (i) a note level, (ii) a sentence level, and (iii) a phrase level.

10. A computer-implemented method for evaluating text data to support multiple server-based applications, comprising:

interacting with a user, by an administrator interface platform, via a graphical named entity recognition interface;

receiving, from the user, a named entity recognition rule defined using graphically displayed root words coupled via logical connections;

aggregating and mapping received text input data to create composite text input data;

automatically detecting a semantic event in the composite text input data triggered by the named entity recognition rule;

flagging the detected semantic event as meeting a pre-determined condition;

updating a text mining result database, responsive to the flag, by adding an entry to the database identifying the named entity recognition rule; and

transmitting an indication associated with the text mining result database to the plurality of server-based applications.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the text input data is associated with at least two of: (i) an insurance claim file, (ii) an insurance claim note, (iii) a medical report, (iv) a police report, (v) social network data, (vi) big data information, (vii) a loss description, (viii) an injury description, (ix) a final notice of loss statement, (x) telephone call transcript, (xi) optical character recognition data, (xii) third-party data, and (xiii) a governmental agency.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the insurance applications are associated with at least two of: (i) a workers' compensation claim, (ii) a personal insurance policy, (iii) a business insurance policy, (iv) an automobile insurance policy, (v) a home insurance policy, (vi) a sentiment analysis, (vii) insurance event detection, (viii) a cluster analysis, (ix) a predictive model, (x) a subrogation analysis, (xi) fraud detection, (xii) a recovery factor analysis, (xiii) large loss and volatile claim detection, (xiv) a premium evasion analysis, (xv) an insurance policy comparison, (xvi) an underwriting decision, and (xvii) indicator incidence rate trending.
