1. A method for displaying relationships between concepts to provide classification suggestions via nearest neighbor, comprising the steps of:
- providing reference concepts each associated with a classification code and a set of uncoded concepts, wherein each of the reference concepts and the uncoded concepts comprises one or more nouns extracted from a plurality of documents;
associating each reference concept with a symbol representing the classification code;
comparing at least one uncoded concept with the reference concepts and identifying one or more of the reference concepts that are similar to the at least one uncoded concept;
displaying relationships between the at least one uncoded concept and the similar reference concepts for classifying the at least one uncoded concept based on the classification symbols of the similar reference concepts comprising at least one of;
displaying one or more of a presence and absence of the similar reference concepts with different classification codes; and
displaying a quantity of the similar reference concepts for each of the different classification codes;
providing at least one visual classification suggestion based on the displayed relationships; and
receiving a classification code for the at least one uncoded concept from a human reviewer based on the at least one suggestion,wherein the steps are performed on a suitably programmed computer.

Abstract
A system and method for displaying relationships between concepts to provide classification suggestions via nearest neighbor is provided. Reference concepts previously classified and a set of uncoded concepts are provided. At least one uncoded concept is compared with the reference concepts. One or more of the reference concepts that are similar to the at least one uncoded concept are identified. Relationships between the at least one uncoded concept and the similar reference concept are depicted on a display for classifying the at least one uncoded concept.

11. A system for displaying relationships between concepts to provide classification suggestions via nearest neighbor, comprising:
-
a database to maintain reference concepts each associated with a classification code and a set of uncoded concepts, wherein each of the reference concepts and the uncoded concepts comprises one or more nouns extracted from a plurality of documents; an association module to associate each reference concept with a symbol representing the classification code; a similarity module to compare at least one uncoded concept with the reference concepts and to identify one or more of the reference concepts that are similar to the at least one uncoded concept; a display to display relationships between the at least one uncoded concept and the similar reference concepts for classifying the at least one uncoded concept based on the classification symbols of the similar reference concepts comprising at least one of; a presence module to display one or more of a presence and absence of the similar reference concepts with different classification codes; and a quantity module to display a quantity of the similar reference concepts for each of the different classification codes; a suggestion module to provide at least one visual classification suggestion based on the displayed relationships; a classification module to receive a classification code for the at least one uncoded concept from a human reviewer based on the at least one suggestion; and a computer processor to execute the modules. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
