Latest Patents
Peter William Foltz holds a patent for "Methods for analysis and evaluation of the semantic content of a writing based on vector length." This invention presents a methodology for analyzing and evaluating sample texts, such as essays or documents. The methodology compares the sample text to reference texts, analyzing the amount of subject-matter information and evaluating the semantic coherence of the sample. By utilizing a two-dimensional data matrix and performing singular value decomposition, Foltz's method computes vector representations of both the sample and reference texts. The degree of similarity between these texts is assessed using cosine similarity or dot product calculations, ultimately assigning a grade to the sample text based on its similarity to the reference.
