A method and apparatus is provided for extracting key terms from a data set, the method includes identifying a first set of one or more word groups of one or more word that occur more than once in the data set, and removing from this first set a second set of word groups that are sub-strings of longer word groups in the first set. The remaining word groups are key terms. Each word group is weighted according to its frequency of occurrence within the data set. The weighting of any word group may be increased by the frequency of any sub-string of words occurring in the second set and then dividing each weighting by the number of words in the word group. This weighting process operates to determine the order of occurrence of the word groups. Prefixes and suffixes are also removed from each word in the data set. This produces a neutral form of each word so that the weighting values are prefix and suffix independent.

A classifier may include logic to parse incoming content and to compare a key term in the content to stored content related to multiple prior messages, where the stored content is classified with respect to one or more categories.

Techniques for classifying electronic text messages include creating a hierarchical list of message categories, composing databases of key terms and sample phrases for each of such categories, and, based on a number and features of the key terms detected in an analyzed text message, determining if the text message is associated with at least one message category of interest. Variants of the key terms or can be produced using fuzzy text objects generation algorithms. Weight factors for the key terms and similarity scores of a text message compared to previously identified sample messages for a particular message category are calculated based on properties of the key terms detected in the text message, such as a frequency of use, location, or appearance in the text message, a number of words in the respective key terms.

The Invention is a method and apparatus for automatic retrieval, organization, correlation and presentation of text, image, audio, or video data in a sequential manner. A user searches a database available on a computer network using a text search engine to locate a text document. The text document is automatically read and parsed to identify text portions and key phrases. The key phrases are used to automatically search a multimedia file database available on the computer network using a multimedia search engine, such as an image search engine. Multimedia documents containing multimedia files are retrieved. Text in the multimedia documents is compared to the key terms and to the query terms and the multimedia documents are ranked by relevance using a variety of techniques including ranking, indexing, statistical analysis and natural language processing. Each text portion in the text document is stored in association with the most relevant multimedia file for that text portion. The resulting correlated information is displayed to the user in a sequence of text, audio, image or video data.

Hyperlinks within an application program interface enable selective, non-intrusive, recall of help functions, such as definitions of critical terms located within a textual or graphical interface panel. Elements of a user interface for an application program are predefined as help functions by the programmer or developer. These predefined help functions are then hyperlinked to the specified predefined element. When a user traverses the interface, highlighted elements corresponding to the predefined help functions may be selected by a mouse or mouse-type function. Upon selection of a highlighted hyperlinked element, a help window appears providing definitions, functional instructions, etc.

A process includes creating a medical record to document a meeting between a patient and a medical professional. A database is created containing a number of key terms related to one or more of the following: ICD-10 billing codes; medical conditions; treatment; or diagnoses. The medical professional asks the patient a question. The question is converted into text. A number of key text terms are identified from the text by determining which words from the text match key terms from the database. The medical record is updated based on the key text terms. The medical professional then reviews the medical record and repeats the prior steps as necessary to complete the medical record.

Key terms for similar passages from a large corpus are identified and used to enhance searching and browsing the corpus. The corpus contains multiple documents such as the text of books. Browsing by concept is supported by identifying a set of similar passages or quotations in documents stored in the corpus and assigning key terms to passages which links conceptually related passages together. The context of each passage instance is identified and can include, for example, the text surrounding the passage. The contexts of all similar passage instances are analyzed in order to identify key terms for the similar passage. The related key terms are analyzed to identify relationships among the key terms from different similar passage sets. The key terms can be used as a basis for navigating the documents in the corpus. The key terms enable browsing the documents in the corpus by concepts referenced in the documents.
