Abstract
Embodiments of the subject invention comprise a computer based system and methods to collect and compare the attributes of a group of entities using data representing topic data of the entity and interaction data between entities. Embodiments of the invention comprise using minimally invasive means to automatically collect and model both an entity'"'"'s attributes such as their knowledge/work/interest as well as model the social interactions of the entity together with a means to identify opportunities to influence changes in the entity attributes. Minimally invasive means to collect and model attributes include semantic analysis and topic modeling techniques. Means to model social interactions include social network analysis techniques that can incorporate location data of the entity. Embodiments of the invention further provide a sharable index of the attributes of the entities and the group of entities.

12. An entity profiling system for analyzing entity profiles, said system comprising:
-
a system bus; at least one database in communication with the system bus that includes entity data and interaction data associated with at least one entity; an analysis engine in communication with the system bus comprising; a model, comparison and recommendation engine comprising machine instructions capable of comparing entities by the topic profile and the interaction profile, and at least one processor in communication with the system bus capable of executing the machine instructions of the analysis engine; and the system bus capable of communicating with a user interface for providing user input to support the operation of the entity profiling system. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
