Comparing distributions of cases over groups of categories
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first distribution of cases over a first group of categories;
classifying, with a categorizer trained using a search-and-confirm technique, the cases into a second group of categories;
generating a second distribution of the cases over the second group of categories using results of the classifying; and
comparing the first and second distributions to identify differences between the first and second distributions.

Abstract
A first distribution of cases over a first group of categories is received. A categorizer trained using a search-and-confirm technique classifies the cases into a second group of categories. A second distribution of the cases over the second group of categories is generated using results of the classifying. The first and second distributions are compared to identify differences between the first and second distributions.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving a first distribution of cases over a first group of issue paths based on initial assignments; training a categorizer, wherein the training comprises submitting one or more queries to identify matching cases and receiving indications of whether the identified matching cases belong or do not belong to at least one category in a group of categories; classifying the cases of the first distribution into the group of categories using the trained categorizer; generating a second distribution of the cases over the group of categories using results of the classifying; comparing the first and second distributions; and effecting an action to improve assignments of cases into a second group of issue paths. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. An article comprising at least one storage medium containing instructions that when executed cause a system to:
-
receive a first distribution of cases over a first group of categories; classify, with a categorizer trained using a search-and-confirm technique, the cases into a second group of categories; generate a second distribution of the cases over the second group of categories using results of the classifying; and compare the first and second distributions to identify differences between the first and second distributions. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
