Abstract

A system and method for providing a classification suggestion for concepts is provided. A corpus of concepts including reference concepts each associated with a classification and uncoded concepts are maintained. A cluster of uncoded concepts and reference concepts is provided. A neighborhood of reference concepts in the cluster is determined for at least one of the uncoded concepts. A classification of the neighborhood is determined using a classifier. The classification of the neighborhood is suggested as a classification for the at least one uncoded concept.

Claims

1. A method for providing a classification suggestion for concepts comprising:

maintaining a corpus of concepts comprising reference concepts each associated with a classification and uncoded concepts;

providing a cluster of uncoded concepts and reference concepts;

determining a neighborhood of reference concepts in the cluster for at least one of the uncoded concepts;

determining a classification of the neighborhood using a classifier; and

suggesting the classification of the neighborhood as a classification for the at least one uncoded concept.
