Method and system for classifying documents
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining whether a claim has merit to warrant claim recovery, the method comprising:
- describing, using a computer, a set of file documents having data containing a context;
iterating upon a classification process to create rules that classify the set of documents based upon the context;
incorporating the rules into a classification schema to classify the claims;
generating said classification schema using said computer;
wherein the schema calculates a score and a concept vector to identify the claims that demonstrate a threshold probability for recovery.

Abstract
The invention provides a method and system for classifying insurance files for identification, sorting and efficient collection of subrogation claims. The invention determines whether an insurance claim has merit to warrant claim recovery efforts utilizing software code for partially describing a set of documents having unstructured and structured file data containing terms and phrases having contextual bases, code for transforming the terms and phrases, code for iterating a classification process to determine rules that best classify the set of documents based upon context, code for incorporating the rules into an induction and knowledge representation, thesauri taxonomies and text summarization to classify subrogation claims; code for calculating a base score and a concept vector to identify the selected claims that demonstrate a given probability of subrogation recovery.

16. A computer process for sorting files into one or more categories comprising:
-
analyzing, under control of a computer, associated electronic records utilizing at least one N-Gram technique and at least one Levenshtein technique to sort other associated data records into one or more categories; producing, using a computer, a score, a concept vector and a threshold that classifies the files into collection strategies. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer system for determining whether a claim has merit to warrant claim recovery comprising:
-
a file system for electronic claim files to serve as input to a search and indexing engine; a database for concepts and term data created from a classification process for uploading to a scoring engine; an indexer having at least one index database to store groups of synonyms each associated with a concept wherein;
(1) each concept forms an element in a vector; and
(2) a file stored in the file system is compared against the elements of the vector to determine whether the file contains the stored concept element; and
(3) if the file contains an element of the concept vector the event is flagged.

23. A computer process for determining whether a claim has merit to warrant recovery comprising:
-
inputting electronic claim files to a search and indexing engine controlled by a computer; creating a dictionary of term data having synonyms relating to the claim files and uploading the data to a scoring engine associated with a computer; storing at least one database of the synonyms each associated with one or more concepts wherein;
(1) one or more concept form into an element in a vector;
(2) a claim file database of the synonyms is compared against the elements of the vector to determine whether the file contains the stored concept element. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
