Abstract
A knowledge discovery apparatus and method that extracts both specifically desired as well as pertinent and relevant information to query from a corpus of multiple elements that can be structured, unstructured, and/or semi-structured, along with imagery, video, speech, and other forms of data representation, to generate a set of outputs with a confidence metric-applied to the match of the output against the query. The invented apparatus includes a multi-level architecture, along with one or more feedback loop(s) from any Level N to any lower Level so that a user can control the output of this knowledge discovery method via providing inputs to the utility function.

17. A system for identifying elements in a dataset including structured, semi-structured or unstructured data comprising a plurality of elements from a plurality of data sources, wherein each of the plurality of elements includes at least one corresponding metatag indicative of content of the corresponding element, comprising:
-
a plurality of processing levels, wherein each processing level includes a processor configured to identify a group of elements that satisfy a set of criteria; and
a filter configured to extract a subset of the group of elements identified by the processor that satisfy a selection criteria and provide the subset of elements to a next processing level;
a feedback component configured to provide a feedback loop between two of the processing levels, wherein the feedback component is configured to provide a portion of the group of elements identified by one of the processing levels to another one of the processing levels so that the processing level receiving the portion of the group of elements identifies a new group of elements contained in the portion of the group of elements provided by the feedback component. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A system for identifying elements in a dataset including structured, semi-structured unstructured data comprising a plurality of elements from a plurality of data sources, wherein each of the plurality of elements includes at least one corresponding metatag indicative of content of the corresponding element, comprising:
-
a plurality of processors, wherein each processor is configured to identify a group of elements that satisfy a set of criteria;
a plurality of filters, wherein each filter is configured to extract a subset of the group of elements identified by one of the processors that satisfy a selection criteria and provide the subset of elements to a next one of the plurality of processors;
a feedback component configured to provide a feedback loop between two of the plurality of processors, wherein the feedback component is configured to provide a portion of the group of elements identified by one of the plurality of processors to another one of the plurality of processors such that the processor receiving the portion of the group of elements identifies a new group of elements contained in the portion of the group of elements provided by the feedback component. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
