Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to methods, systems and programs for adjusting tagging of files. An illustrative method includes receiving a request to upload at least one document from a user via processor, assigning a first metadata tag via processor to at least one word contained within the at least one document, wherein the first metadata tag identifies the at least one word as an alias for a first unique entity, delivering the at least one document to the user including the first metadata tag via processor, receiving feedback via processor from the user relating to the assignment of the first metadata tag to the at least one word, determining at least one potential adjustment for the assignment of the first metadata tag via processor, sending information to the user proposing the at least one potential adjustment via processor, and receiving confirmation information from the user concerning the potential adjustment.

Claims

1. A method of adjusting results generated by an automated tagging engine, comprising:

receiving a request to upload at least one document from a user via processor;

assigning a first metadata tag via processor to at least one word contained within the at least one document, wherein the first metadata tag identifies the at least one word as an alias for a first unique entity;

delivering the at least one document to the user including said first metadata tag via processor;

receiving feedback via processor from said user relating to the assignment of the first metadata tag to the at least one word;

determining at least one potential adjustment for said assignment of said first metadata tag via processor;

sending information to the user proposing said at least one potential adjustment via processor; and

receiving confirmation information from said user concerning said potential adjustment via processor.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising implementing said at least one potential adjustment by assigning a different metadata tag to said at least one word in said at least one document via processor.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said assigning step precedes said first receiving step.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said first receiving step precedes said assigning step.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one document includes a plurality of documents.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one word includes a plurality of words.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one word includes a phrase.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein said phrase is one of a plurality of aliases for said entity associated with said unique identifier.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein sending information to the user proposing said at least one potential adjustment via processor includes providing a plurality of potential adjustments to the user.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one potential adjustment includes not assigning a tag to said at least one word.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one potential adjustment includes assigning a tag to said at least one word that associates said at least one word with a second unique entity.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein said first unique entity is associated with a first unique identifier.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein said second unique entity is associated with a second unique identifier.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one document includes a data set including a plurality of documents, wherein said data set is generated by the user performing a keyword search of a database for documents including at least one of a plurality of aliases associated with the first unique entity based on a keyword list, said plurality of aliases including words (i) that are, and, (ii) that are not associated with the first unique entity.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein performing said keyword search includes receiving a list of keywords to be searched from the user.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein determining said at least one potential adjustment for said assignment of said first metadata tag includes generating a term list including a phrase that is one of the plurality of aliases for the first unique entity.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein determining said at least one potential adjustment for said assignment of said first metadata tag includes generating a term list including a phrase that is not one of the plurality of aliases for the first unique entity.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein determining said at least one potential adjustment for said assignment of said first metadata tag includes:

generating a term list relating to the first unique entity, and further wherein tagging at least one word of a further document includes (i) determining if said further document includes said at least one word, and (ii) determining if said further document also includes a term from said term list; and

tagging said at least one word in said further document if a term from said term list is present in said further document.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein determining said at least one potential adjustment for said assignment of said first metadata tag includes:

generating a term list relating to the first unique entity, and further wherein tagging at least one word of a further document includes (i) determining if said further document includes said at least one word, and (ii) determining if said further document also includes a term from said term list; and

not tagging said at least one word in said further document if a term from said term list is present in said further document.

20. An apparatus comprising a plurality of circuit modules, computer memory, and at least one processor configured and arranged to adjust results generated by an automated tagging engine, comprising:

a first circuit module configured and arranged to receive a request to upload at least one document from a user;

a second circuit module configured and arranged to assign a first metadata tag to at least one word contained within the at least one document, wherein the first metadata tag identifies the at least one word as an alias for a first unique entity;

a third circuit module configured and arranged to deliver the at least one document to the user including said first metadata tag;

a fourth circuit module configured and arranged to receive feedback from said user relating to the assignment of the first metadata tag to the at least one word;

a fifth circuit module configured and arranged to determine at least one potential adjustment for said assignment of said first metadata tag;

a sixth circuit module configured and arranged to send information to the user proposing said at least one potential adjustment; and

a seventh circuit module configured and arranged to receive confirmation information from said user concerning said potential adjustment.

21. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program to operate a system for adjusting results generated by an automated tagging engine, the program comprising:

instructions for receiving a request to upload at least one document from a user;

instructions for assigning a first metadata tag to at least one word contained within the at least one document, wherein the first metadata tag identifies the at least one word as an alias for a first unique entity;

instructions for delivering the at least one document to the user including said first metadata tag;

instructions for receiving feedback from said user relating to the assignment of the first metadata tag to the at least one word;

instructions for determining at least one potential adjustment for said assignment of said first metadata tag;

instructions for sending information to the user proposing said at least one potential adjustment; and

instructions for receiving confirmation information from said user concerning said potential adjustment.
