Text analysis devices, articles of manufacture, and text analysis methods are described according to some aspects. In one aspect, a text analysis device includes a display configured to depict visible images, and processing circuitry coupled with the display and wherein the processing circuitry is configured to access a first vector of a text item and which comprises a plurality of components, to access a second vector of the text item and which comprises a plurality of components, to weight the components of the first vector providing a plurality of weighted values, to weight the components of the second vector providing a plurality of weighted values, and to combine the weighted values of the first vector with the weighted values of the second vector to provide a third vector.

Text analysis devices, articles of manufacture, and text analysis methods

Text analysis devices, articles of manufacture, and text analysis methods are described according to some aspects. In one aspect, a text analysis device includes processing circuitry configured to analyze initial text to generate a measurement basis usable in analysis of subsequent text, wherein the measurement basis comprises a plurality of measurement features from the initial text, a plurality of dimension anchors from the initial text and a plurality of associations of the measurement features with the dimension anchors, and wherein the processing circuitry is configured to access a viewpoint indicative of a perspective of interest of a user with respect to the analysis of the subsequent text, and wherein the processing circuitry is configured to use the viewpoint to generate the measurement basis.

Lexicon generation methods, computer implemented lexicon editing methods, lexicon generation devices, lexicon editors, and articles of manufacture are described according to some aspects. In one aspect, a lexicon generation method includes providing a seed vector indicative of occurrences of a plurality of seed terms within a plurality of text items, providing a plurality of content vectors indicative of occurrences of respective ones of a plurality of content terms within the text items, comparing individual ones of the content vectors with respect to the seed vector, and responsive to the comparing, selecting at least one of the content terms as a term of a lexicon usable in sentiment analysis of text.

Lexicon generation methods, lexicon generation devices, and lexicon generation articles of manufacture

One embodiment of the present invention includes means determining a concept representation for a set of text documents based on partial order analysis and modifying this representation if it is determined to be unidentifiable. Furthermore, the embodiment includes means for labeling the representation, mapping documents to it to provide a corresponding document representation, generating a number of document signatures each of a different type, and performing several data processing applications each with a different one of the document signatures of differing types.

Text analysis technique

The method and apparatus of the present invention begin with the generally known features of visualizing a relationship between at least two entities, by: (a) geometrically mapping the at least two entities onto a surface; (b) providing a relationship record for each of the at least two entities; (c) generating a display of the at least two entities together with at least one connector between the at least two entities as the visualizing the relationship from the relationship record; (d) the connector having two ends connected to a pair of the at least two entities, the connector having an extension between the two ends, the extension passing out of the plane. The present invention provides the improvement of: for at least one pair of entities, the at least one pair having a plurality of relationships, the connector having a plurality of strands wherein each of the plurality of strands corresponds to each of the plurality of relationships.

Method and apparatus for entity relationship visualization

Methods and systems are provided that enable text in various sections of data records to be separately catalogued, indexed, or vectorized for analysis in a text visualization and mining system. A text processing system receives a plurality of data records, where each data record has one or a plurality of attribute fields associated with the records. The attributes fields containing textual information are identified. The specific textual content of each attribute field is identified. An index is generated that associates the textual content contained in each attribute field with the attribute field containing the textual content. The index is operable for use in text processing. The plurality of data records may be located in a data table and the textual information may be contained within cells of the data table. In another aspect, a plurality of data records is received, where at least some of the data records contain text terms. A first method is applied to weight text terms of the data records in a first manner to aid in distinguishing records from each other in response to selection of the first method. A second method is applied to weight text terms of the data records in a second manner to aid in distinguishing records from each other in response to selection of the second method. A vector is generated to distinguish each of the data records based on the text terms weighted by either the first or second method.
