System and method for determining semantically related terms
First Claim
1. A method for determining semantically related terms, the method comprising:
- identifying two or more terms of a seed set;
identifying concept terms associated with terms of the seed set other than a first term of the seed set;
determining at least one of combinations and permutations of the identified concept terms associated with terms of the seed set other than the first term to create a first plurality of concept terms; and
determining at least one of combinations and permutations of the first term and the terms of the first plurality of concept terms.

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining semantically related terms are disclosed. Generally, a semantically related term tool receives a seed set and identifies a plurality of terms that constitute the seed set. For each term of the seed set, the semantically related term tool identifies one or more concept terms associated with terms of the seed set other than the term being processed, determines a plurality of concept terms based on at least one of combinations and permutations of the concept terms associated with terms of the seed set other than the term being processed, and adds the resulting terms to a plurality of semantically related terms. The semantically related term tool removes invalid terms from the plurality of semantically related terms based on a language model and ranks at least a portion of the remaining terms of the plurality of semantically related terms based on a metric indicating a degree of semantical relationship between a term of the plurality of semantically related terms and one or more terms of the set seed.

11. A computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions for determining semantically related terms, the set of instructions to direct a processor to perform acts of:
-
identifying two or more terms of a seed set; identifying concept terms associated with terms of the seed set other than a first term of the seed set; determining at least one of combinations and permutations of the identified concept terms associated with terms of the seed set other than the first term to create a first plurality of concept terms; and determining at least one of combinations and permutations of the first term and the terms of the first plurality of concept terms. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for determining semantically related terms, the system comprising:
a semantically related term tool operative to identify two or more terms of a seed set, to identify concept terms associated with terms of the seed set other than a first term of the seed set, to determine at least one of combinations and permutations of the identified concept terms associated with terms of the seed set other than the first term to create a first plurality of concept terms, and to determine at least one of combinations and permutations of the first term and the first plurality of concept terms. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A method for determining semantically related terms, the method comprising:
-
identifying two or more terms of a seed set; identifying one or more explicit geographic locations identified in the seed set; removing the identified explicit geographic locations from the terms of the seed set to create a stripped seed set; identifying concept terms associated with terms of the stripped seed set other than a first term of the stripped seed set; determining at least one of combinations and permutations of the identified concept terms associated with terms of the stripped seed set other than the first term to create a first plurality of concept terms; determining at least one of combinations and permutations of the first term and the terms of the first plurality of concept terms; adding resulting terms of the determination of at least one of combinations and permutations of the first term and the terms of the first plurality of concept terms to a first plurality of semantically related terms; and determining at least one of combinations and permutations of a first explicit geographic location of the one or more identified geographic locations and terms of the first plurality of semantically related terms. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions for determining semantically related terms, the set of instructions to direct a processor to perform acts of:
