A method for processing e-mails includes receiving a plurality of e-mails. For each e-mail in the plurality of e-mails, a feature representation is generated for an e-mail based on a set of noun phrases associated with the e-mail. A set of topics associated with the plurality of e-mails is generated based on the feature representation for each e-mail. Sentence structure associated with the e-mail and parts of speech associated with the e-mail may be determined. The parts of speech, including a set of noun phrases associated with the e-mail, may be used to generate the feature representation for the e-mail.

A method, system, and apparatus are provided for creating a knowledge interchange (“KI”) profile for a user that identifies the interests of the user, the individuals with which the user has communicated, and the topics on which the communication with the user was made. In order to create the KI profile, items of interest are gathered at the client computer by monitoring the interaction between a user and programs executing on the client computer. Once the items of interest have been identified, the KI profile is created by performing a social network analysis, an interest analysis, and a noun phrase analysis. Once the KI profile has been created, it may be uploaded to a server computer where it is aggregated with KI profiles created for other users.

A method and system for extracting opinions about a subject of interest from a text document in which each sentence is analyzed individually to identify the opinions. The most relevant feature terms related to the subject are extracted from the document based on their relevancy scores. Candidate feature terms are definite noun phrases at the beginning of the sentences. For each sentence that refers to the subject or a feature term, the invention determines whether the sentence includes an opinion polarity about the subject or the feature term. The opinion polarity is detected by identifying opinion terms in the sentence using an opinion dictionary or an opinion rule base, parsing the sentence with an English parser to identify grammatical components in the sentence and their relationships, and finding a matching entry in the dictionary or the rule base.

An apparatus is provided that includes a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to determine a category for a group of isolated noun phrases in a structured or semi-structured data source stored in the memory. The group of isolated noun phrases includes one or more isolated noun phrases. The processor is also configured to translate the group of isolated noun phrases from a source language to a target language using a category-driven isolated noun phrase translation. The determination of the category and the category-driven isolated noun phrase translation are performed based on context derived from the group of isolated noun phrases.

There is disclosed a method of facilitating interaction between users of an electronic community. In an embodiment, the method comprises: reviewing a user activity log for each user in the electronic community; executing a natural language parser to extract significant noun phrases from the user activity log; updating user profiles from the newly extracted noun phrases, based on their usage frequency and importance value; and storing the updated profiles in a user profile and relationship data base; and executing a similarity based clustering algorithm to cluster user profiles, thereby discovering relationships among users and storing them in a user profile and relationship database. The method may further comprise displaying for each user the one or more relationships to which the user is assigned, together with a list of users assigned to the one or more relationships. The method may also comprise storing for each user the relationship to which the user is assigned in a user profile and relationship database.

A method, system, and apparatus are provided for maintaining user privacy in a knowledge interchange (“KI”) system. A user may provide privacy preferences relating to their participation in the KI system. The user may identify specific keywords, noun phrases, and contacts that should not be transmitted to a server computer. The user may also specify whether each keyword, noun phrase, or contact should be public or private. If a public keyword is identified during a search query as being associated with the user, the user's identity will be made available to a seeker If a private keyword is identified during a search query as being associated with the user, the user's identity will not be made available and a brokered communication process between the seeker and the user will be performed.

Coreference resolution is the process of identifying when two noun phrases (NP) refer to the same entity. Two main contributions to computational coreference resolution are made. First, this work contributes a new method for recognizing when an NP is anaphoric. Second, traditional approaches to coreference resolution typically select the most appropriate antecedent by recognizing word similarity, proximity, and agreement in number, gender, and semantic class. This work contributes a new source of evidence that focuses on the roles that an anaphor and antecedent play in particular events or relationships. I show that using contextual role knowledge as part of the coreference resolution process increases the number of anaphors that can be resolved, and I demonstrate an unsupervised method for acquiring contextual role knowledge that does not require an annotated training corpus. A probabilistic model based on the Dempster-Shafer model of evidence is used to incorporate contextual role knowledge with traditional evidence sources.

Techniques are provided for automatic sampling evaluation. An automatic sampling evaluation system enables users to evaluate convergence of one or more search processes. For example, given a set of searches that were validated by human review, a system can implement a retrieval process that samples one or more non-retrieved collections. Each individual document's similarity in the one or more non-retrieved collections is automatically evaluated to other documents in any retrieved sets. Given a goal of achieving a high recall, documents with high similarity can then be analyzed for additional noun phrases that may be used for a next iteration of a search. Convergence can be expected if the information gain in the new feedback loop is less than previous iterations, and if the additional documents identified are below a certain threshold document count.
