1. A system, comprising:
- a server;
a probable measure of meaning (PMM) database stored on the server, the PMM database storing PMMs for a plurality of tokens;
an input port to receive a content;
a token determination unit on the server operative to determine a token in said content;
a relative measure of meaning (RMM) calculation unit on the server operative to calculate a RMM for said token, factoring in a first probable measure of meaning (PMM) from the PMM database for said token and a plurality of second PMMs from the PMM database for a plurality of second tokens in said content using a proximity function (PF) according to

Abstract
A content is divided into tokens. Tokens can represent sounds, symbols, letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, or documents, among other possibilities. Probable measures of meaning (PMMs) are determined for each token. Given a target token, a proximity function for other tokens can be calculated, which in turn can be used to modify the PMMs for the other tokens. These modified PMMs for the other tokens can then be used in conjunction with the PMM for the target token to generate a relative measure of meaning (RMM) for the target token.

6. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a content at a server over a network; identifying a first token in the content using the server; determining a first probable measure of meaning (PMM) for the first token from a PMM database stored on the server; identifying at least two second tokens; determining a second PMM for each of the at least two second tokens from the PMM database stored on the server; using a proximity function (PF) to modify each of the second PMMs for each of the at least two second tokens, the proximity function factoring in the first token and a distance between the first token and each of the at least two second tokens; and generating a relative measure of meaning (RMM) for the first token, the RMM factoring in the first PMM for the first token and each of the modified PMMs for each of the at least two second tokens, according to - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
