Methods and systems for analyzing incident reports
First Claim
1. A method for automatically analyzing a portion of text such as that typically occurring in an incident report, comprising:
- specifying a client profile including at least one scenario of interest, the scenario of interest being formulated in an event calculus formalism;
analyzing the portion of text for relevant information at least partially described by the scenario of interest;
detecting relevant information including detecting a positive match between at least part of information relevant to the scenario of interest and at least part of the portion of text being analyzed;
upon detecting such relevant information, extracting the relevant information;
representing the extracted relevant information in the event calculus formalism; and
performing an inference process on the extracted relevant information represented in the event calculus formalism.

Abstract
Systems and methods for examining text, such as incident reports, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes specifying a client profile including at least one scenario of interest, the scenario of interest being formulated in an event calculus formalism; analyzing a portion of text for relevant information at least partially described by the scenario of interest; detecting relevant information including detecting a positive match between at least part of information relevant to the scenario of interest and at least part of the portion of text being analyzed; upon detecting such relevant information, extracting the relevant information; representing the extracted relevant information in the event calculus formalism; and performing an inference process on the extracted relevant information represented in the event calculus formalism.
