Wide-spectrum information search engine
First Claim
1. A method for processing information, comprising:
- receiving a segmented judgment matrix, the segmented judgment matrix being a numerical matrix pairing each of a set of terms to each of a set of classifications, each term being a word or phrase, the segmented judgment matrix having a plurality of information submatrices, each element of each information submatrix representing a rating of a relevance of the term of the element to the classification of the element, each information submatrix being a numerical matrix representing the relevance of each of a subset of the set of terms to each of a subset of the set classifications; and
using the segmented judgment matrix to calculate an information spectrum.

Abstract
A method and computer program product for comparing documents includes segmenting a judgment matrix into a plurality of information sub-matrices where each submatrix has a plurality of classifications and a plurality of terms relevant to each classification; evaluating a relevance of each term of the plurality of terms with respect to each classification of each information submatrix of the information submatrices; calculating an information spectrum for a first document based upon at least some of the plurality of terms; calculating an information spectrum for a second document based upon at least some of the plurality of terms; and identifying the second document as relevant to the first document based upon a comparison of the calculated information spectrums.

19. A computer program product for processing text information, the product comprising instructions operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform the operations of:
-
receiving a judgment matrix that is segmented into a plurality of information submatrices where each submatrix has a plurality of classifications and a plurality of terms relevant to each classification;
evaluating a relevance of each term of the plurality of terms with respect to each classification of each information submatrix of the information submatrices;
calculating an information spectrum for each of a plurality of documents based upon at least some of the plurality of terms;
receiving a search request;
calculating an information spectrum of the search request based upon at least some of the plurality of terms; and
identifying at least some documents of the plurality of documents as relevant to the request based upon a comparison of the calculated information spectrums.
