1. A method for providing a classification suggestion for concepts, comprising the steps of:
- maintaining a corpus of reference concepts, each associated with a classification;
obtaining uncoded concepts, each comprising a collection of one or more nouns and noun phrases with a common semantic meaning that are extracted from one or more documents;
generating a cluster of the uncoded concepts and at least one of the reference concepts;
determining a neighborhood of one or more reference concepts in the cluster for at least one of the uncoded concepts;
determining a classification for the neighborhood of the reference concepts using a classifier;
suggesting the classification of the neighborhood as a classification for the at least one uncoded concept;
receiving a classification code for the at least one uncoded concept from a reviewer;
identifying a discordance between the received classification code for the at least one uncoded concept and the suggested classification code for the at least one uncoded concept when the received classification code is different from the suggested classification code;
assigning an identifier to each of the received classification code and the suggested classification code; and
displaying the at least one uncoded concept with the identifier for the received classification code and the identifier for the suggested classification code,wherein the steps are performed by a suitably programmed computer.

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.

11. A system for providing a classification suggestion for concepts, comprising:
-
a database to store a corpus of reference concepts, each associated with a classification and uncoded concepts, each comprising a collection of one or more nouns and noun phrases with a common semantic meaning that are extracted from one or more documents; a clustering engine to generate a cluster of uncoded concepts and one or more of the reference concepts; and a processor to execute modules, comprising; a neighborhood module to determine a neighborhood of one or more reference concepts in the cluster for at least one of the uncoded concepts; a classification module to determine a classification for the neighborhood of the reference concepts using a classifier; a suggestion module to suggest the classification of the neighborhood as a classification for the at least one uncoded concept; a receipt module to receive a classification code for the at least one uncoded concept from a reviewer; a discordance module to identify a discordance between the received classification code for the at least one uncoded concept and the suggested classification code for the at least one uncoded concept when the received classification code is different from the suggested classification code; an identifier module to assign an identifier to each of the received classification code and the suggested classification code; and a display module to display the at least one uncoded concept with the identifier for the received classification code and the identifier for the suggested classification code. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
